In addition to its own ESG performance, Masterplast Group also focuses on the sustainability competence of its supply chain. The Company increasingly considers ESG performance as a component of business resilience to reduce environmental impacts, social and environmental risks also in its engagement with suppliers. It also enhances the Masterplast brand reputation and financial benefits can be realised by the parties through the implementation of responsible sourcing policies.
The company’s assessment of its environmental and climate change impacts also includes an environmental assessment of its suppliers, and the company is also affected by its own activities and as a result of its business. The Masterplast Group avoids potential negative environmental impacts in its supply chain by communicating its expectations towards its suppliers.
The Masterplast Group is committed to shortening the supply chain. Besides the countries where the production bases are located fossil raw materials are sourced from other European countries and the Middle East. In the case of non-fossil raw materials, the Far East is also a supplier of fiberglass, which in this case represents the most optimal sourcing option. Packaging materials, both fossil and non-fossil origin, are sourced from the countries of the base along a short supply chain.
