中文All4Labels has released its 2025 Global Report, setting out the label group’s sustainability progress, key achievements and priorities across climate change, circular economy, people, responsible sourcing, business conduct and product quality. The Witzhave-based group used the publication to demonstrate that sustainability has moved from a side project to a core element of how it creates long-term value.
In 2025 the group operated 47 production sites worldwide, serving more than 13,000 customers and employing more than 5,500 people. During the year it advanced its energy and climate initiatives, expanded its portfolio of recyclable and recycling-compatible products to address the new requirements of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), strengthened responsible sourcing and governance practices, and developed a safe and inclusive working environment. The group cut its Total Recordable Incident Rate to 0.47, a 21 percent improvement on the previous year, with zero fatalities across its operations.
CEO Evelyn Hartinger framed the report as evidence that responsible growth and operational excellence must go hand in hand. “At All4Labels, sustainability is deeply embedded in our business strategy and in the way we create long-term value,” she said, adding that the progress reflects the commitment of teams worldwide and an ambition to contribute positively to the industries and communities the group serves.
On regulation, Juan Ramon Maiquez Varea, manager regulatory affairs and product compliance, said the PPWR is a significant step toward a more circular packaging economy. He described it not only as a regulatory challenge but as an opportunity to help customers rethink packaging in a way that combines compliance, performance and sustainability. Through its expertise, global footprint and continuous development of sustainable products, All4Labels said it is committed to supporting customers throughout every stage of the transition.
Innovation is presented as the key enabler of sustainable growth. Tobias Rug, vice president of the Starshine product line, pointed to developments such as Starshine and Stardirect as examples of how performance, product differentiation and sustainability can be combined to create tangible value for brands and consumers alike. The group said it will continue to strengthen its sustainability performance and transparency while investing in innovation and operational excellence.
The report arrives at a pivotal moment for the label industry. Converters across Europe are racing to qualify materials and constructions against PPWR thresholds, and brand owners are asking suppliers for evidence that decorative and functional labels will not undermine the recyclability of the primary pack. A group with 47 sites and 13,000 customers is well placed to standardise sustainable solutions at scale, and the report is as much a commercial signal as a compliance document.
All4Labels’ safety record also deserves attention. A 21 percent improvement in its Total Recordable Incident Rate, with no fatalities, is a meaningful operating result in a sector where presses, finishing lines and chemicals carry real risk. The group linked the outcome to a deliberate focus on a safe and inclusive working environment, suggesting that governance and culture, not just technology, drive the number.
For customers evaluating label partners, the 2025 Global Report offers a consolidated view of where a major supplier stands on the issues that now shape procurement: carbon, circularity, safety and responsible sourcing. All4Labels is making clear that it intends to compete on all of them simultaneously, not as separate initiatives but as one integrated strategy.
The group’s scale means small changes compound. With 47 sites, even incremental shifts in energy sourcing, substrate choice and waste handling translate into large absolute reductions, which is why a consolidated global report, rather than scattered site-level disclosures, is the right unit for measuring All4Labels’ progress and for holding the organisation to account. Customers increasingly treat such reports as a procurement filter: a major brand will not risk its own recyclability claims on a label supplier that cannot evidence its materials, and All4Labels’ PPWR-ready portfolio is the commercial payoff of the work described. The safety improvement is likewise strategic, because a converter that cannot protect its people struggles to protect its customers’ supply. What stands out in the 2025 figures is the combination of breadth and humility: the group reports across climate, circularity, people, sourcing and conduct rather than cherry-picking a single headline metric. That integrated framing is precisely what sophisticated buyers now expect, and it positions All4Labels to win share as regulation tightens across European packaging markets. The report also doubles as an internal management tool, aligning 47 sites behind common targets so that a win in one region can be replicated quickly in another, turning sustainability from a communications exercise into a operating discipline that compounds site by site across the year.
The 21 percent safety improvement, paired with zero fatalities, is the kind of operating result that reassures both regulators and the group’s own people that sustainability includes how workers are treated, not only carbon and materials. All4Labels is clearly betting that integrated reporting, not single-metric marketing, is what wins demanding multinational accounts.
