Driving Measurable Sustainability
Our Approach to Sustainability
Vision 2030 ESG Strategy
Our strategy is built around four pillars that span the full scope of our impact: the products we make, the way we operate, the suppliers we work with, and the people and governance structures that hold it all together.
These pillars are not standalone workstreams — they are interconnected, and progress in one reinforces progress in the others. Underpinning them are five operating principles that define how we work.
Phase 1
Foundations
Maturing governance structures, improving data quality and controls, and embedding sustainability into enterprise risk management.
Phase 2
Execution
Delivering against our SBTi-validated emissions targets, expanding the ECO Range
to 25% of portfolio by 2030, and embedding ESG requirements across our Tier 1 supply chain.
Phase 3
Value Creation
A fully transitioned product portfolio, carbon neutral Scope 1 and 2 operations by 2040, and sustainability performance that strengthens our position with customers and partners.

Sustainability Governance
Effective governance is the foundation of credible sustainability performance.
Our sustainability governance structure ensures clear accountability at every level of the organisation – from Board oversight to site-level implementation.
Sustainability risks and opportunities are monitored through Filtrona’s enterprise risk management (ERM) framework and escalated through this governance structure. In FY2025, the Executive Sustainability Committee was formally established, strengthening the integration of sustainability into senior leadership decision-making.

- Quality & HSE : ISO 45001 ZWTL tracking incident mgmt Environmental monitoring
- R&I, Tax & Manufacturing : Sustainable Product R&D Carbon Neutral Site Roadmap Risk Escalation
Sustainability performance KPIs — including GHG emissions reduction, zero waste to landfill, and safety metrics — are linked to executive and site-level remuneration. This ensures direct leadership accountability for sustainability outcomes and reinforces our commitment to delivering on our Vision 2030 goals.
The Filtrona Sustainability Report 2025 has been independently assured by SGS under the AA1000 Assurance Standard v3 (Type 2, Moderate Assurance), providing independent verification of selected sustainability performance indicators and the integrity of our reporting processes.
Filtrona holds an EcoVadis Gold rating, placing us in the top 5% of companies assessed globally on sustainability performance. EcoVadis is one of the world’s most widely used third-party sustainability rating platforms, evaluating companies across Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
Our score of 81 out of 100, published January 2026, reflects both the strength of our sustainability management systems and our performance across all four themes.
