As a family enterprise, the Koehler Group is focusing on the long-term future and the generations to come. By 2030, we have therefore set ourselves the goal of generating more renewable energy from our own sources on a balance sheet basis than is required for our paper production operations. Direct Scope 1 fossil-based greenhouse gas emissions are expected to fall by 80% by 2030, before achieving net zero by 2045. The transformation process within the Koehler Group is in full swing and, although these targets are ambitious, they remain realistic.

The sustainability of products is becoming increasingly important in artistic design. This was abundantly on display at Creativeworld, which took place in Frankfurt am Main from 27 to 30 January. Numerous exhibitors presented "green" products for artists of all ages to the professional creative community.

The cross-event Ethical Style programme of the Frankfurt consumer goods fairs comprises a selection of exhibitors with sustainable approaches, curated by an independent jury of experts.

Together, they embark on a collaborative project to introduce a recyclable barrier paper packaging solution for the renowned UK specialty chocolate manufacturer, Whitakers.

Pharmaceutical product packaging accounts for a large part of manufacturers’ Scope 3 emissions, which consider, for example raw material production, manufacturing, and end-of-life disposal. According to Metsä Board studies, fresh fibre paperboard can notably reduce the carbon footprint of pharmaceutical packaging by optimising the paperboard in use.
