We are committed to environmental protection and putting sustainability at the core of our business
Our Approach to ESG
In 2024, Filtrona and SWM co-organised a networking event at InterSupply 2024 in Dortmund, Germany where tobacco suppliers and trade visitors were introduced to the range of available sustainable filter materials.
The Filtrona Sustainability Report 2024 demonstrates our unwavering commitment to sustainable, efficient, and socially responsible business practices.
It serves as a vital communication platform, fostering meaningful engagement with our stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors, regulatory bodies, suppliers, and the broader public.
