Membership
Sustainability is a collective, synergistic path consisting of common goals. This is why we work together with the most authoritative international organisations that promote unambiguous standards and criteria for sustainable development.
We have officially joined the United Nations Global Compact, an initiative created to support companies worldwide to adopt sustainable policies and to make public the results of the actions taken.
CELAB-Europe is an international NGO composed of representatives from the self-adhesive industry that promotes circular economy in the sector. The Fedrigoni Group is actively involved in this working group to promote the innovation of its products in the Self-Adhesives division.
The partnership with the NGO Inspiring Girls International was born in 2021 to help raise awareness of their talent in adolescents, freeing them from gender stereotypes.
