Sustainability at Papyrus

At Papyrus, we integrate environmental, social and governance considerations into our business operations, supply chain management and employee development programs. Further information about our objectives, actions and reported results can be found in our Sustainability Report.

We are a reliable partner with a core offering of efficient delivery solutions for fine paper, office paper, graphic board and graphic speciality products, primarily for printers and converters. We provide hassle-free solutions for the workplace, so you can always stay one step ahead of the competition.

We have expanded our focus to meet the changing needs of our customers. Today, our portfolio includes not only high-quality paper products, but also a comprehensive range of cleaning and hygiene products, office supplies, personal protective equipment and packaging products for retailers and retail chains, marketed under the Scaldia brand.

In addition, we offer a wide range of services that facilitate our customers' daily operations, including our webshops. This strategic diversification enables us to better serve our customers in various sectors while maintaining our focus on environmental, social and governance priorities, including responsible sourcing, climate action, employee development and business ethics.

The choices we make regarding our product range, supply channels, the talent we support, the company culture and the daily operations say a lot about who we are and what we do. That is our legacy.

So let's join forces as partners, colleagues and friends to continue improving our environmental and social performance in areas identified as material to our business and stakeholders.

Environment

We work with suppliers and logistics partners to reduce emissions and environmental impacts across our value chain. Targets and progress are disclosed in our Sustainability Report and SBTi reporting.

Social

We invest in the development of our employees and encourage feedback on how to drive and shape our company together. We believe our employees are the key to success.

Governance

We are more than just a company – we are an active member working to increase interaction between us, our stakeholders and the community in which we operate.
