Giving Back to Our Communities and Teams

TekniPlex is committed to building a healthier, more sustainable world through active community engagement and social initiatives. In 2020, we established TekniGives, a global program that partners with charitable organizations to advance social equity, environmental stewardship, food security, and public health in the communities where we operate. Our focus is on creating long-term, meaningful change through collaborative efforts with our partners.

Our commitment extends to supporting our own employees through the TekniGives Employee Relief Fund, which provides financial assistance to those facing unexpected hardships. Since its launch, this fund has provided vital support to employees, underscoring our dedication to their well-being.

The TekniGives Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity, embodies our commitment to social responsibility. By collaborating with customers, partners, and employees, we aim to create lasting, positive impacts.

Climate & Impact

Climate & Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Managing our carbon footprint is a core part of our environmental strategy. In FY25, TekniPlex's total greenhouse gas footprint was 1,293,437 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent – spanning Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions across our global operations and value chain.

We continue to expand our primary data collection and refine our measurement methodology, building the foundation for future reduction efforts.

Climate & Impact

Waste

Across our global sites, we use recycling solutions tailored to local operations. For example, fiber-based scrap and certain shipping materials are recovered and recycled into our molded fiber processes, while manufacturing scrap is recycled back into production streams where possible. These closed-loop practices help reduce raw material demand and minimize waste sent to disposal.

Waste reduction is actively embedded within site-level operations – from process improvements to employee-led initiatives that find new uses for manufacturing byproducts.

Product Design & Innovation

Sustainability in product design begins with a question: what does sustainability mean to our customer?

At TekniPlex, we recognize that the answer varies across customers, industries, and end markets. For some, the priority is recyclability or recycled content. For others, it is carbon reduction, reusability, or the transition to renewable materials. Our role is to understand those priorities and engineer solutions that meet them precisely, reliably, and at scale.

From ISCC PLUS certified materials to bio-based and post-consumer recycled content, we are expanding the range of sustainable material options available to our customers, without compromising on performance or functionality.

Our sustainable approach

Governance

Strong governance supports ethical decision-making, regulatory compliance, and effective risk management across our global operations.

Sustainability Governance & Oversight

ESG is embedded within our Global Innovation organization, reflecting its connection to product stewardship, regulatory compliance, and materials science. It is led at the Director level, reporting through the Global Head of Product Stewardship and Sustainability, with regular review by senior leadership. Cross-functional collaboration across operations, EHS, finance, legal, HR, and commercial teams ensures ESG is integrated into business decisions and risk management.

Ethics & Anti-Corruption

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, supported by global policies, applies to all employees and is reinforced through training and communications. Governance and compliance oversight are embedded within legal and leadership structures, with as-needed review of policies and controls to address evolving risks and regulatory requirements.

Supply Chain Management

Our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines expectations for labor practices, workplace safety, and human rights, including prohibitions on child and forced labor. We conduct due diligence to assess supplier compliance and maintain processes to address concerns.

Cybersecurity

We manage cybersecurity risk through a centralized model aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, supported by a 24/7 Security Operations Center. Key measures include multi-factor authentication, network security controls, endpoint protection, and employee training such as phishing simulations.
