Boxon Releases 2024 Sustainability Report, Driving Green Transformation with Science-Based Practices
Boxon Group has recently released its 2024 Sustainability Report, presenting a comprehensive overview of key milestones in three strategic focus areas: fair and equal, climate neutral, and sustainable packaging solutions. According to the report, Boxon achieved a 33% reduction in CO₂e emissions compared to 2019 levels, driven by innovation and close collaboration across its supply chain. These efforts are contributing to a broader transformation toward sustainability across its entire value chain.
Ranked in the 99th Percentile and Top 1% Globally in Sustainability
Boxon has been awarded a Platinum Medal in sustainability rating by the independent sustainability rating organization EcoVadis. With a score that places it in the 99th percentile, Boxon ranks among the top 1% of more than 130,000 companies assessed across over 220 industries and 180+ countries.
EcoVadis’ methodology is based on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and ISO 26000.

Commitment to Gender Equality: Signatory of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs)
In 2024, Boxon became a signatory of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), reaffirming its commitment to gender equality and to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace — both within the company and throughout its supply chain.
The WEPs, developed by UN Women and the UN Global Compact, offer a framework for businesses to advance gender equality in the workplace, marketplace, and community, grounded in international labor and human rights standards.
Science Based Target initiative (SBTi)
Aligned with its commitment under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), Boxon reduced its CO₂e emissions by 33% across Scope 1, 2, and 3 (categories 1–3, 5–7) compared to its 2019 baseline. The company remains on track to achieve its 2030 goal of a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Joining the UN Global Compact’s “Forward Faster” Initiative

In 2024, Boxon established a comprehensive baseline for Scope 3 emissions across its entire value chain, including purchased goods and services, End-of-life treatment of products, and transportation & distribution.
The results revealed that 99.7% of its total CO₂e emissions originate from Scope 3, underscoring the critical importance of supply chain engagement and targeted reduction efforts.
