PAWI Group AG publishes 2023 Environmental Report – sustainability as a corporate mission

Energy management remains a key part of the sustainability strategy. For example, the connection to district heating in Winterthur (Switzerland) significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. In addition, the use of photovoltaic systems in Singen (Germany) helps to lower energy consumption from non-renewable sources. As a result, the environmental footprint of production can be reduced step by step.

Another important focus is the development of more sustainable packaging solutions. In this context, PAWI is working together with ETH Zurich to develop soy-water-based films for paper strip window bags.

Social sustainability through sociocratic organisational structure

PAWI has also made further progress in the area of social sustainability. The sociocratic organisational structure, which has been successfully applied at the Winterthur site for several years, has now also been introduced at the production site in Singen.

This organisational model promotes transparency and strengthens employee participation. At the same time, it supports a positive corporate culture and helps to encourage a conscious sense of responsibility within the organisation.

Long-term goals and commitment

PAWI reaffirms its long-term commitment to the environment and society. In addition to the goal of contributing to the carbon neutrality of the city of Winterthur (Switzerland) by 2040, Science Based Targets (SBTi) will be introduced in the medium term. Other measures include a planned roof renovation with a photovoltaic installation at the production site in Winterthur and the integration of electric trucks into the fleet.
