The pillars of Pyroll Packaging's responsibility
As a trusted supplier of packaging solutions, it is our responsibility to ensure that our supply chain holds strong. We make sure that our suppliers are committed to our and our customers’ responsibility, food safety, and quality requirements. Packaging safety is our foundation.
For us, responsibility means a commitment to product safety, community and environmental welfare, and their continuous improvement as part of long-term business. We are present in people’s everyday lives and we want our packaging to promote people’s well-being and health, while minimizing environmental impact.
All our operations are guided by Pyroll Packaging’s own responsibility program, which was modernized and republished at the beginning of 2025.
1. Responsible chain
As a trusted supplier of packaging solutions, it is our responsibility to ensure that our supply chain holds strong. We make sure that our suppliers are committed to our and our customers’ responsibility, food safety, and quality requirements. Packaging safety is our foundation.
As a packaging manufacturer, we combine different materials, so minimizing energy use and waste are important parts of our carbon footprint. Through investments and development projects, we improve the energy efficiency of our production processes and units and increase the share of renewable energy.
As a packaging supplier, we have a responsibility to ensure that our supply chain holds strong. We ensure that our suppliers are committed to our and our customers’ responsibility, food safety and quality requirements. Ensuring the safety of our packaging materials and solutions is our core principle.
For our customers, we create recyclable and resource-efficient packaging solutions that protect packaged products at different stages of supply chains and reduce food waste. Our solutions promote the transition to circular economy and carbon neutrality, while also helping to minimize environmental impacts throughout the value chain.
We maintain packaging safety through the continuous operation and development of food safety groups at our units. We fulfill the statutory requirements for packaging in cooperation with the testing laboratory MeasurLabs, and through the compliance certificates provided to our customers.
2. Certifications
Responsibility is part of our everyday life
Our certifications demonstrate that our operations meet the strictest requirements in terms of quality, environment and food safety. They are not just documents – they are promises to our customers, our personnel and the environment.
For us, responsibility is not just a promise – it is a systematically managed and verified part of our operations. All our units are certified with internationally recognized standards:
ISO14001 – Environmental management
FSSC22000 Certifications
3. Environment
We participate in Finland’s national Energy Efficiency Agreement, coordinated by Motiva. We have already exceeded the targets set for the 2018–2025 agreement period. As a member of Rinki — Finland’s national packaging recycling system — we ensure that all our packaging is properly recycled, and we cover our share of the packaging recycling fees. We offer alternative solutions to SUP (single-use-plastic) – ask our experts for more information.
In 2025, we updated the carbon footprint calculation for Pyroll Packaging’s units according to the GHG protocol (scope 1, 2 & 3). Our goal is to reduce our own carbon footprint by over 50% by 2030.
We can offer our customers a product-specific carbon footprint and provide alternatives regarding the climate impact of different raw materials and packaging solutions – contact our account managers if you want more information.
4. Employees
Enhancing personnel well-being is achieved through our employees’ esteemed supervisory work and leadership, alongside actions to minimize accidents and hazardous situations.
Occupational safety is an absolute right of every employee. We have charted the equipment hazards and mechanical dangers of machinery and production facilities and continuously collect safety observations, and handle adverse event situations with units and management, which help us develop our operations towards zero accidents.
We operate reliably, ethically and responsibly as an employer and cooperation partner. In our operations, we follow the principles of the UN Global Compact and ILO related to human rights, working life, environment and anti-corruption activities. The operating principles are described in our Code of Conduct policy. See link.
Harassment in any form is prohibited. We respect each person’s right to self-determination. We ensure that no harassment or other inappropriate behavior occurs in our organization. Our employees and all stakeholders have the opportunity to report inappropriate behavior anonymously through the whistleblow reporting channel. See link.
5. Management
EcoVadis
As a comprehensive system for monitoring and developing responsibility themes, we use the internationally recognized EcoVadis peer assessment. We have been part of the program since 2021 and our goal is to achieve gold level by 2026. The EcoVadis program already includes over 150,000 companies globally. In this comparison, we have already reached the top 6% at silver level. Learn more about the EcoVadis program
Deforestation Regulation EUDR
The EU’s deforestation regulation aims to guarantee that products consumed in the European Union do not cause deforestation or forest degradation globally. At the same time, the goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the decline of biodiversity.
The regulation obliges operators to verify that products placed on the EU market and exported from the EU comply with the regulation. The operator must have a due diligence system (DD system), based on which the required checks are made.
Products must be:
- Deforestation-free, i.e., produced on land that has not been subject to deforestation after December 31, 2020;
- Wood products must not have caused forest degradation produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production and must have a due diligence statement (DD statement) completed.
Our fiber-based products fall under the deforestation regulation. As a SME operator, we have the responsibility to provide the DD number received from our raw material suppliers to customers, so that the wood used in products can be traced. Read more about the deforestation regulation
We use 100% green electricity
From the beginning of 2025, all Pyroll Packaging Group units have switched to 100% green electricity.
6. Packaging from renewable and recyclable materials
Our aspiration is always to offer the most suitable and sellable packaging for our customers’ products as well as packaging material best suited for the intended use. Proper product preservation and protection are our primary goals. As a multi-material solution provider, we can offer our customers alternatives in material choices that combine excellent packaging appearance, product protection, efficient packaging, recyclability, use of recycled material, minimized CO2 emissions and possibly even reusability.
We actively monitor markets and regulatory requirements and continuously develop alternatives for future packaging solutions for our customers.
All our manufacturing units servicing fibre-based packaging materials have either FSC or PEFC Multisite certification Multisite certification, which enables us to offer customers paper and cartonboard (folding carton / paperboard) produced from responsibly managed forests.
