Responsible Supply Chain
Building Resilience Beyond Our Own Operations
Responsible Supply Chain
Filtrona’s supply chain spans materials, logistics and services across multiple geographies. Managing it responsibly means embedding environmental, social and ethical standards into procurement — from how we source wood-based materials to how we assess new suppliers.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct and Global Sustainable Procurement Policy set clear expectations for suppliers and help ensure that responsible practices are embedded into sourcing decisions. This includes ESG due diligence, supplier assessments, responsible sourcing requirements, human rights expectations, environmental criteria and ethical business conduct.
Our Achievements
In 2025, Filtrona strengthened supplier governance and ESG due diligence, applying responsible sourcing standards through a risk-based approach.
100% of new suppliers assessed for ESG due diligence.
All new suppliers complete Filtrona’s ESG due diligence questionnaire.
100% of Tier 1 suppliers reviewed for ESG risks.
All Tier 1 suppliers are subject to annual ESG risk review using a risk-based scoring methodology.
100% of suppliers communicated on the Supplier Code of Conduct.
284 new suppliers informed about the Supplier Code of Conduct.
424 new third parties vetted.
20% of procurement spend sourced locally.
No significant environmental or social risks identified through supplier audits in 2025
Outlook
Filtrona will continue strengthening supply chain management through risk-based supplier assessment, enhanced data visibility and deeper engagement with key suppliers. We will further integrate ESG considerations into procurement decisions and reinforce expectations on environmental, social and ethical performance.
Biodiversity refers to Filtrona’s responsibility to manage direct and indirect impacts on ecosystems, especially through its upstream value chain. Since Filtrona’s products rely on wood pulp derivatives, paper and other bio-based materials, sustainable forestry, certified sourcing and responsible land use are important to long-term supply continuity.
Our Achievements
Filtrona continued to strengthen biodiversity-related oversight through responsible sourcing and supplier engagement.
88% of wood-based materials sourced from FSC or PEFC certified or controlled sources.
100% of suppliers communicated on biodiversity and no-deforestation commitments.
Biodiversity considerations integrated into supplier risk reviews.
Continued prioritisation of certified and responsibly sourced inputs.
Approximately 80% recycled content in paper-based packaging materials.
No operating sites identified within or adjacent to legally protected areas or areas of high biodiversity value.
Outlook
Filtrona will continue strengthening biodiversity management by improving supplier engagement in higher-risk geographies, enhancing data traceability and reinforcing certification requirements for relevant wood-based materials. We remain committed to achieving 100% wood-certified material purchases by 2030 for tow, plugwrap and packaging materials.
