Making sustainability an integral part of our business
Successfully managing and executing a sustainability strategy requires a robust governance structure. One that facilitates decision-making and considers the long-term impact of actions and policies, while helping the company to measure and track performance. That’s why we chose a structure that aligns with the way Solina is organized as a company. This ensures sustainability is entirely embedded into our daily business activities, while it also promotes ownership and accountability.
Our 2030 targets
Publish a report in accordance with CSRD by 2026
We see the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive as an opportunity to better structure our performance measurement, and to accelerate our sustainability journey. Moreover, Solina will comply with the EU taxonomy and will closely follow the developments regarding the Supply Chain Due Diligence Directive.
Progress and highlights
Bronze medal by EcoVadis
To know where we are compared to other companies, we completed an EcoVadis assessment in 2023. This gives us insights into our performance in 4 key categories (environmental impact, labor and human rights, ethics, and procurement practices). The result: with a score of 64, Solina sits in the top 16% of all companies in the food manufacturing industry.
This recognition marks a huge improvement compared to 2022 and motivates us to do even better in 2024 and beyond.
Strong governance set-up
Our sustainability governance structure reflects the 5 sustainability domains and is fully aligned with the way Solina does business in general.
Performance focused on 5 SDGs
With our sustainability strategy, we direct our efforts at 5 SDGs in particular. These are the domains on which Solina can have the biggest positive impact.
“Transparent ESG reporting will soon be as important as financial reporting. It has to be about measurable KPIs, facts and data. It’s time for actionable goals and real progress – an evolution we fully embrace.”
Marieke Van Troys - CFO at Solina
