Inside Asterias’ first sustainability report

Asterias bæredygtighedsrapport 2024

Asteria’s Sustainability Report
A bold step toward a more responsible packaging industry

 

At Asteria Group, we’ve always believed that leadership comes with responsibility. In a sector built on paper, plastic, and complex global supply chains, we understand the urgent need to rethink how we design, produce, and deliver value. That’s why we’re proud to announce the launch of our first-time sustainability report – a clear, transparent reflection of the progress we’re making and the road ahead.

This report marks the beginning of a new chapter for Asteria — one grounded in accountability, innovation, and collaboration. And it’s more than just a milestone for us. It’s a tool designed to help our customers and partners navigate the evolving sustainability landscape, together.

Why sustainability is core to Asteria’s strategy

Sustainability at Asteria is not a side project — it’s integrated into everything we do. As our CEO, Ives Declerck, puts it:“We are committed to being a frontrunner, integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business.” 

What began as a response to customer demand and regulatory requirements has evolved into a strategic driver of long-term growth, operational excellence, and cultural integration across our 35 sites in 10 European countries.

In 2024, we made significant progress:

  • Strengthened our ESG governance with a new Chief Sustainability Officer and a dedicated sustainability framework
  • Expanded our Asteria Sustainable Solutions (A.S.S.) portfolio
  • Piloted industry-leading technologies like UV-LED curing
  • Completed our first group-wide carbon footprint assessment

CSO, Charlotte Van Uytsel

Asterias Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) er en rolle, der afspejler vores dybe engagement i bæredygtighed og i at skabe reel forandring. Charlotte leder vores indsats for at tackle miljømæssige udfordringer gennem samarbejde på tværs af forsyningskæden, og levere grønnere løsninger til vores kunder. Under hendes ledelse reducerer vi energiforbruget, minimerer affald, optimerer processer og forbereder os på fremtidig lovgivning om bæredygtighed som CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). Vi omsætter bæredygtighed til handling og skaber en varig effekt for vores branche og planeten.

"Bæredygtighed handler om samarbejde, og om at få alle forsyningskæder med på vores rejse. Jeg tror virkelig på, at hvis vi arbejder tæt sammen med alle vores interessenter, kan vi skabe en større effekt."

CCO, Tim Clockaerts

Som Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) er Tim drevet af en passion for at levere banebrydende løsninger og fremragende service i label- og emballageindustrien. Hos Asteria skiller vi os ud gennem fem vigtige søjler: Vi tilbyder personlig service, opretholder den perfekte balance mellem pris og kvalitet, leverer forskellige teknologier der er skræddersyet til vores kunders behov, driver innovation med fokus på bæredygtighed, og sikrer branchespecifikke certificeringer. Sammen, på tværs af alle vores enheder, former vi fremtidens emballage med formål, ekspertise og en forpligtelse til at gøre en reel forskel for vores kunder.

"At være en international organisation har ændret vores kommercielle tilgang. Det giver mere værdi for alle vores kunder."

Administrerende direktør, Ives Declerck

Accent var kimen til det, der senere skulle blive til Asteria Group - bygget på en ydmyg begyndelse drevet af modstandsdygtighed, innovation og strategisk fremsyn. Vores opkøb har givet os mulighed for konsekvent at sætte nye standarder i vores branche. Men vores rejse handler om mere end vækst.

Asteria Group står i spidsen for emballageindustrien, drevet af strategiske opkøb, der flytter grænserne for innovation. Men vores vision rækker ud over ekspansion. Med et fast engagement i bæredygtighed, sigter vi mod at lede branchen mod en grønnere fremtid og sætter ambitiøse mål for at transformere emballage inden 2030 for en sundere planet.

"Hos Asteria Group er det vores kundeorienterede tilgang, vores engagement i hurtige deadlines, vores høje kvalitetsstandarder, fleksibilitet og innovative tekniske løsninger, der driver vores hurtige vækst. Vi stræber altid efter at finde de bedst mulige løsninger til vores kunder og sikre, at deres behov opfyldes med ekspertise og effektivitet."
