Join us to make a difference for better
Our path to sustainability is a quest to develop net-positive packaging that gives more to people and the planet than it takes out.
It is a journey that requires enduring commitment and like-minded people who are as committed as we are. If you want to build a better future for the people and our planet while playing a role in bringing safe nutrition to all, explore how you can make a difference with SIG.
What does sustainability mean for an SIGer?
“Through local projects and initiatives, I help bring together businesses, municipalities and social enterprises to make recycling more efficient and rewarding. It’s our responsibility to the communities we live in.”

A roadmap for better
At SIG we work every day to address the biggest challenges of our time from a holistic perspective.
Climate+
Removing more carbon than we emit.
Our Climate Positive commitment is to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with 1.5° climate science, take more carbon from the atmosphere than our value chain emits, and pioneer carbon-negative packaging concepts.
Forest+
Creating more thriving forests.
Our Forest Positive commitment is that not only will we protect 100% of the sustainable forests we source from by 2030 but we will create, restore, protect, or improve management of an additional 100% of biodiverse sustainable forest area on top of what is required. This will mean an additional 650,000 hectares of biodiverse sustainable forest by 2030.
We will also continue to ensure that all our aseptic cartons can carry the FSC™ label (trademark licence code: FSC™ C020428) and help our customers effectively communicate this.
Resource+
Accelerating innovation on circularity.
Our Resource Positive commitment is to lead the way towards a fully circular packaging system. Our ambition for our packs is that one day, they will be made exclusively from renewable or recycled materials, and that every pack we make will be recycled.
Food+
Improving access to nutrition & cutting food waste.
Our Food Positive commitment is to bring to people even more safe and nutritious food and beverages, wherever it is needed, at prices they can afford, and reduce the amount of waste during filling, storage, and transport.

Future+ Ambassadors
Sustainability is a journey and at SIG, we believe in walking the talk and making a difference at both a personal and professional level.
Our Future+ Ambassadors lead the way by organizing local activities that have a positive environmental impact, touch people’s lives, and help local communities.
They inspire every SIGer to make a difference in their own way. From planting more trees and organizing flea markets to cooking for the local community and promoting recycling, every little bit counts.
