01 Feb 2023 --- Coveris has signed a ten year purchase agreement with Neoen and is investing in green energy that meets the electricity needs of its European plants. The energy will be generated by a future wind farm in Storbrännkullen, Sweden. “Renewable energy is a major pillar of our committed [environmental] sustainability strategy. In the past couple of years, we have already gradually switched to green energy, most recently in our plants in Austria, Hungary and Egypt,” Christian Kolarik, CEO at Coveris tells PackagingInsights. The new virtual power purchase agreement is now “instrumental” in helping Coveris achieve zero scope 2 CO2 emissions and an improved overall Environmental, Social and Governance status, explains Kolarik.
