United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)

Strengthening our commitment to global sustainability
At BOBST, sustainability goes beyond our operations - it’s about contributing to global progress. As a proud participant in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), we align with its ten universal principles on human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. These principles reflect our core values of Trust, Respect, Passion, and Performance, reinforcing our commitment to ethical business and responsible innovation.

Transparency and measurable progress
In July 2024, we submitted our first Communication on Progress (CoP), outlining how we integrate UNGC principles into our operations and support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This ongoing commitment ensures accountability, drives continuous improvement, and positions BOBST as a leader in aligning business with global sustainability benchmarks.

Advancing the SDGs across our industry
BOBST focuses on SDGs where we can make the most impact - quality education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), clean water (SDG 6), decent work (SDG 8), sustainable innovation (SDG 9), responsible production (SDG 12), climate action (SDG 13), biodiversity (SDG 15), and partnerships (SDG 17). Our commitment translates into concrete actions, from reducing our carbon footprint to fostering an inclusive and responsible work environment.

Driving collective action for a sustainable future
On SDG Flag Day 2024, BOBST teams worldwide joined the global movement to raise awareness of the 17 SDGs, reinforcing our collective responsibility. By integrating global sustainability frameworks into our strategy, we continue to innovate, collaborate, and lead the packaging industry toward a more sustainable future - for our business, our stakeholders, and generations to come.
