Our sustainability strategy
Clear guidance for everyone
The Uhlmann Group, including Uhlmann Pac-Systeme, has developed a sustainability and climate strategy. It provides guidance for managers and employees and establishes a binding framework for the defined goals and measures. Our vision, mission and purpose form the basis of this strategy.
„With our sustainability strategy, we are continuing on our chosen path consistently and systematically. As a family-owned company, we have been committed for decades to bring together business, social and environmental interests.‟

Our sustainability strategy in detail
Our focus areas in five strategic fields of action
Uhlmann focuses its sustainability management processes on the issues that are most important to our stakeholders and shareholders. To identify these issues, we performed a materiality analysis, which was updated during the 2022/2023 business year. The results of this analysis led to our sustainability strategy, which is split into five areas of action containing a total of 14 different issues. These are reflected in our sustainability strategy, where they are assigned initiatives and goals.
