Greiner Highlights Annual and Sustainability Report 2025
The document is an excerpt from Greiner AG’s 2025 Annual and Sustainability Report. It opens with a thematic statement “Where COURAGE meets future!” and presents a structured overview of the report’s sections. The core of the text is a Q&A‑style interview with the Executive Board (CEO Saori Dubourg, CFO Hannes Moser, COO Marcus Morawietz) in which they reflect on a challenging macro‑environment, outline the group’s financial performance, strategic priorities, organisational restructuring, and the role of innovation, sustainability and leadership. A foreword by the family‑owned Greiner Council follows, emphasizing multigenerational values and responsible stewardship. The report then provides concise snapshots of the four operating divisions – Greiner Packaging, Greiner Bio‑One, Greiner Mediscan (now an independent division) and NEVEON – covering revenue, employee count, key technologies, 2025 highlights, product launches, awards and sustainability initiatives. Subsequent sections detail the group’s sustainability performance (environmental, social and governance pillars), including EcoVadis Platinum rating, climate‑risk analysis, renewable‑energy share, emissions reductions, circular‑economy projects, health‑and‑safety programmes, digital transformation (SAP S/4HANA, AI tools), talent development, gender‑equality measures, and governance updates (new unified Code of Conduct, whistle‑blowing platform, supplier sustainability screening). The narrative repeatedly ties back to Greiner’s core values – courage, responsibility, innovation – positioning them as the compass for long‑term, generation‑spanning growth.
