Syntegon publishes 2025 Sustainability Report and advances sustainability development

Syntegon, a strategic lifecycle partner to the pharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries, today published its 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting significant and measurable progress across environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities, including a commitment to achieve net‑zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2040. As regulatory expectations and sustainability requirements continue to increase globally, Syntegon aims to support customers with solutions that combine productivity, compliance, and resource efficiency. The effectiveness of Syntegon’s sustainability strategy has been recognised by external experts such as EcoVadis and confirmed by its improved “B” rating from CDP for climate change.

The publication marks the company’s first sustainability disclosure prepared in orientation to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and assured by a third party, reflecting Syntegon’s commitment to enhanced transparency and evolving regulatory expectations.

“The transformation toward a more sustainable industry is accelerating and we want to actively shape it together with our customers and other stakeholders,” said Torsten Türling, Chief Executive Officer of Syntegon. “By combining technology, operational excellence, and lifecycle expertise, we are turning sustainability ambitions into measurable progress.”

Sustainability progress and operational performance

In 2025, Syntegon delivered tangible operational improvements: Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO₂ emissions were reduced by 40 percent compared with 2019, while GHG intensity improved to 6.73 kg CO₂e per thousand euro revenue. In addition, the share of electricity sourced from renewables increased to 81 percent (+11 percentage points) compared with 2024. Investments in people and workplace safety also advanced, with continued improvements in employee training hours and key safety indicators.

“Our focus is on implementation and measurable impact,” said Petros Kapelles, Chief Operations Officer of Syntegon. “We are systematically advancing decarbonization across our operations while helping customers improve efficiency, reduce waste, and optimize resource consumption.”

External recognition of successful sustainability path

Independent recognition of Syntegon’s sustainability efforts includes successful assessments by EcoVadis and CDP. The latest assessment by EcoVadis has shown that Syntegon ranks among the top 2 percent of companies worldwide, underscoring the strength of its performance in the areas of environmental, social, and corporate governance.

Syntegon achieved a CDP Climate Change score of B in 2025, demonstrating that the company actively manages its environmental impacts through established processes and robust strategies. The company’s climate targets are also validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), reinforcing the credibility of its decarbonisation pathway.

“We are proud that our sustainability efforts regularly receive positive assessments by external experts,” said Yvonne Gillet, Vice President Sustainability at Syntegon. “This recognition reinforces our commitment to continuing on our path.”
