Sustainability

Making the right decisions for a sustainable future

Our Sustainability Approach & Goals

Our commitment to sustainability drives us to continuously seek innovative solutions that reduce our environmental footprint.

Our Sustainability Goals

People

Sustainability begins with nurturing our most valuable asset – our people. At Synchron, we build caring and inclusive teams, fostering a values-based culture that focuses on diversity, equity and continuous growth. By creating an environment where individuals can thrive, we empower not only our team members but also contribute to a resilient, equitable society for future generations.

Responsible sourcing

Our global partners:

Our partnerships with companies like KURZ, Serge Ferrari and Chiyoda are rooted in shared values of innovation and sustainability.These organisations have long histories of technological advancement, coupled with a deep commitment to sustainable practices. By collaborating with partners who prioritise sustainable innovation, we bring value to our markets across Africa, ensuring that sustainability is not just an initiative, but a core element of our culture.

LEONHARD KURZ

Leonhard Kurz’s environmental strategy achieves a material reduction in emissions and impacts climate positively. Paper and cardboard decorated with KURZ transfer finishing (0,0002mm) can be recycled without restriction. Furthermore, KURZ transfer decoration has been proven safe for biological degradability and compostability of packaging. KURZ has also integrated strict ISO standards into their environmental management systems driving initiatives such as PET recycling, exhaust air disposal, energy saving and recuperation, and the overall alignment of KURZ products to sustainability.

SERGE FERRARI GROUP

The Serge Ferrari Group is driven by the motto “Act now to build a better tomorrow”. Serge Ferrari’s 2022-2030 sustainability strategy is based on the principle of “Do better with less”. From this new mission statement, a simple principle is derived: to do more with zero additional impact. Their commitment spans three key pillars – Human, Environmental and Sustainable Innovation, which collectively aim to reduce impact, promote diversity and support eco-design.

Waste Management

Waste

Synchron takes proactive responsibility for waste management. We engage our teams through education and training and collaborate with a specialised waste management partner to categorise, measure and recycle our waste. As members of the PRO Fibre Circle under the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable print and packaging industry in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

At Synchron, sustainability is woven into the fabric of our organisation. Through focused efforts on our People, Responsible Sourcing and Waste Management pillars, we’re paving the way for a more sustainable future – one choice at a time.
