-24% CO2 EMISSIONS, 18% TO 42% RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY AND -9% ACCIDENTS AT WORK: THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE RESULTS OF THE LATEST SUSTAINABILITY REPORT. THE ROLE OF INNOVATION IS STRATEGIC, LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTS MADE FROM RECYCLED AND ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS AND LIGHTENED COMPONENTS
September 17 2026 (Bodio Lomnago, Italy) — The Sustainability Report 2025 tells the story of a year of profound transformation for the Group: product innovation, investments in renewable energy and growing attention to people and customers.
Among the most significant results is the sharp increase in the use of electricity from renewable sources, which rose from 18% to 42% of the Group’s total needs, thanks to investments in photovoltaic production, process electrification and energy efficiency. These initiatives have contributed to the reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions (direct and indirect emissions related to purchased energy) by 24% compared to 2024 and reinforce the goal of building a less carbon-intensive future.
Alongside environmental aspects, the report highlights the role of innovation. In 2025, Crealis expanded its portfolio of solutions with reduced environmental impact. Innovations include the Virtuo recycled tin capsule , the TOP -L cork liner for crown caps, which allow significant reductions in the carbon footprint* compared to conventional products . Both are included in Green Tech line, which offers solutions that use recycled materials, lightweight components and alternative materials , such as the Symbiosis foil, made primarily of paper, an example of design that combines aesthetics, technical performance and sustainability.
Great attention was also paid to people with the satisfactory result of a reduction in accidents at work equal to -9% and 5 of the 8 European production sites certified ISO 45001 (international standard for occupational health and safety management systems). The launch of the first Group -wide Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) survey made it possible to collect valuable information on employee engagement and future priorities in terms of leadership and talent development.
At the same time, in addition to the strengthening the safety culture, the importance of responsibility in the supply chain continues, with 81% of strategic suppliers having signed the Crealis code of conduct and 20 of strategic suppliers have been assessed on the basis of ESG criteria.
“2025 – comments Enrico Bracesco , CEO of Crealis – represented an important year of transformation for Crealis. In a context characterized by new economic and environmental challenges, we have continued to strengthen the Group and transform our sustainability commitments into concrete actions. Looking ahea d to 2026, we will continue to accelerate the path of integration, innovation and decarbonization to create value for our customers while reducing environmental impact.”
(*) The reported 61% carbon footprint reduction is based on a comparison between a conventional TinClass capsule and a TinClass capsule made from 100% recycled tin. The conventional capsule’s footprint was determined through an independent Life Cycle Asses sment (LCA)conducted in 2024 with Deloitte. The carbon footprint of the recycled tin capsule is an estimated value based on data from a supplier of 100% recycled tin material.
(*) The 12.5% carbon footprint reduction is based on a comparison between a crown cap with a polyethylene liner and one fitte d with a cork liner. The environmental impacts of both the crown cap with polyethylene liner and the crown cap with cork liner were determined through an independent life cycle analysis conducted in 2025 by Consilia Associati.
