Positive Impact
People

The human-centred pillar of Quadpack’s sustainability strategy is focused on making positive impact to people, communities, suppliers and partners. By promoting an inclusive and diverse culture, with leaner business foundations and focused on people’s development, Quadpack aims to lead a sustainable transformation and inspire other to pursue their own change.

Quadpack’s positive-impact strategy is framed by ISO 26000, with seven core areas, five of them related to people: organisational governance, human rights, labour practices, fair operating practices and community involvement. The remaining areas – consumer issues and environment – strongly resonate with the product and process axes of Quadpack's sustainability strategy.

 

Organisational governance

By building a transparent and robust governance structure, Quadpack lives up to its integrity values. Its code of ethics and its committees enhance oversight and speed up execution, providing guidance and clarity across the organisation.

Human rights

Quadpack ensures that the human rights of all its employees are protected and aims to inspire and help its business partners to have the same commitment, under the framework of EcoVadis and the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact.

Labour practices

While Quadpack enhances workplace safety and risk prevention, it is also fostering development opportunities, making the best of one of Quadpack’s strengths: its diversity.

Fair operating practices

Quadpack has taken some steps to advance its good governance and compliance practices, with the launch of an independent, anonymous Speak-Up channel and the implementation of its code of ethics in Germany.

Community involvement

Quadpack Foundation is the main actor of Quadpack’s community involvement. It collaborates with social and environmental projects in countries where the organisation operates, providing every Quadpacker with the opportunity to be involved.
