Siegwerk Publishes Sustainability Report Based on Corporate Reporting Directive

Siegwerk has released its Sustainability Report 2025. 

The new report highlights progress on key sustainability topics, including climate action and responsible sourcing. This is the company’s first sustainability report prepared referencing the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the reporting standards on which the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is based. 

Although Siegwerk was not yet legally required to do so, the company voluntarily adopted the reporting framework to increase transparency and align with evolving European reporting practices.

A central feature of the new sustainability report is the ESRS-aligned Double Materiality Assessment (DMA). The assessment examines both how Siegwerk’s activities affect people and the environment (the inside-out perspective) and how sustainability-related external developments may affect the company’s business (the outside-in perspective). 

It identified climate change, circular economy, pollution, workforce health and safety, as well as human rights in the value chain, as the sustainability topics most material to the company from both an impact and business perspective.

“The DMA gave us the opportunity to take a structured look at the sustainability topics that matter most to our business and stakeholders,” said Alina Marm, Head of Global Sustainability, at Siegwerk. “At the same time, it confirmed that many of the areas we have already been focusing our efforts on will remain priorities going forward.”

Overall, the new report provides a comprehensive overview of Siegwerk’s progress under its HorizonNOW 2025 sustainability strategy. 

From 2021 to 2025, Siegwerk achieved four of its six sustainability targets and exceeded the 50% achievement mark for the other two. The report closes the HorizonNOW 2025 chapter and serves as an important baseline for tracking progress under HorizonNOW 2030, the company’s sustainability agenda for the next five years.

“Transparency and accountability are key factors for sustainable business success,” added Marm. “With our new report, we not only provide our stakeholders with detailed insights into our performance and progress over the past year but also demonstrate how sustainability continues to be embedded in our long-term business strategy.”
