Nolato's sustainable development strategy
Nolato’s sustainable development strategy is an integral part of Nolato’s overarching strategy for profitable growth and is based on the Global Compact and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is focused on addressing challenges in the near future, while equipping ourselves to respond to future expectations and requirements.
UN Global Compact
In 2010, Nolato endorsed the UN initiative for responsible business conduct, the Global Compact. Through the Global Compact, Nolato endorses ten basic principles in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. In 2016, Nolato linked its Group targets to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
About United Nations Global Compact
UN Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals.
The Sustainable Development Goals presented by the UN in 2015 are now also connected to the Global Compact.
Science Based Targets Initiative
During 2023 Nolato developed science-based climate ambition targets and submitted these to SBTi for validation. In 2024 Nolato´s near-term targets was validated and approved by SBTi.
About the Science Based Targets initiative
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The SBTi enables businesses to set ambitious emissions reductions targets in line with the latest climate science. It is focused on accelerating companies across the world to halve emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050.
EcoVadis
In 2022, Nolato decided to pursue a group-level assessment of Nolato AB group. As all Nolato companies at minimum follow the group guidelines they are covered by the group assessment. The first assessment on group level, 2022, resulted in a Bronze Medal and the assessment 2023 resulted in an improved rating to Silver Medal. Now 2024, only two years after our first assessment, Nolato has been awarded a Gold rating, placing us in the 96th percentile, among the top 4% of companies evaluated.

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
Nolato has been reporting according to CDP since 2015 and reports all three different areas of focus; i.e. Climate Change, Forests and Water Security. In the 2023 evaluation Nolato improved the rating with two levels from C to B in Climate Change. Nolato holds the ranking C in Water Security.
About the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
CDP is an independent sustainability index that analyses environmental impacts from over 18 000 companies each year. The companies that report their sustainability work to CDP are assessed on disclosure, awareness and management of risks and opportunities.

According to GRI requirements, Nolato publishes an index that indicates the use of the standards and disclosures included in the sustainability report. The sustainability report is presented in Nolato's Annual report, where the complete GRI index register can be found.

Europe's Climate Leaders 2024
Nolato is included in this list and proud to be named as a Climate Leader and appreciate that our commitment to combat climate change is recognized.
The list focuses primarily on businesses that have achieved the greatest reduction in their Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity over a five-year period (2017-22 for this edition). Scope 1 and 2 emissions — “core emissions” in the table — come respectively from a company’s own operations and from the energy it uses, while intensity is defined as tonnes of emissions of CO₂-equivalent per €1mn of revenue. Other factors are considered, too, such as companies’ transparency on Scope 3 emissions, which arise elsewhere in their value chains, and their collaboration with sustainability assessors, such as CDP and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

The zero-sum game of bio-based plastics
Bio-based plastics possess the same qualities as plastics made from oil, but emit sustainably lower amounts of CO2 over its lifetime. One way for Nolato to ensure that we create positive change is to innovate how we produce our products to minimize carbon emissions, and bio-based plastics have shown great potential for becoming the plastic material of a sustainable future.
