Nilörn’s climate targets validated by SBT

We are proud to announce that Nilörngruppen’s climate targets have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This milestone confirms that our goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions are aligned with the latest climate science and the Paris Agreement’s ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Nilörngruppen AB commits to:

• Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 63.0% by 2035 from a 2024 base year.

• Reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 37.7% within the same timeframe.

• Reduce absolute scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions 50.0% by 2035 from a 2024 base year.**

Nilörngruppen AB commits to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities, with a target date of December 31, 2025.

“This is a strategically important milestone that strengthens Nilörn’s position as a sustainability leader in the global label and trims industry,” says Krister Magnusson, CEO Nilörngruppen AB.

“It reflects our commitment to transparency and accountability,” adds Mridu Surendran, ESG Compliance Coordinator.

Packaging with Purpose: Nilörn x WILDPLASTIC®

WILDPLASTIC® is building a system to recover plastic from nature and bring it back into the loop. Their work tackles plastic pollution through recovery in some of the world’s most affected regions, while also strengthening informal waste collector communities through fair partnerships.

Through this collaboration, Nilörn expands preferred material options within our packaging portfolio. The material is available for protective packaging solutions such as polybags (garment bags) and e-commerce mailers, either in 100% WILDPLASTIC® or in blends with PCR/PIR LDPE.

“Partnering with WILDPLASTIC® supports Nilörn’s mission to offer more futureproof material choices. By integrating plastic recovered from nature into our packaging, we contribute to reducing plastic pollution and strengthening circular material flows.”

Christina Heines,
Material and Innovation Specialist, Nilörn

”We see WILDPLASTIC® as a value-adding ingredient brand. With NILÖRN’s client relationships and design capabilities, we can create standout, co-branded packaging elements that resonate with end customers and strengthen brand identity.”

Marten Kronemeyer,
Head of Sales, WILDPLASTIC®

Paper or Plastic – Key considerations for brands

Driving progress through responsible and transparent supply chains

Meet us at Performance Days 18-19 March 2026

“It’s a privilege to be part of a company that values progress, collaboration and responsibility – and to help drive that forward throughout our supply chain.”

Deepening transparency through traceability 

One of Beatrice’s key focus areas is strengthening product and material traceability through the Retraced platform.

“We’re working to map our supply chain more deeply, tracing where our raw materials originate,” she explains. “It gives us valuable insight and strengthens our ability to ensure materials are sourced responsibly.”

This work supports Nilörn’s broader goals around transparency, compliance and circularity — providing both clients and internal teams with the clarity needed to make informed, sustainable decisions.

Looking ahead, Beatrice expects the scope of CSR and sustainability to continue expanding. “The field is growing every year,” she says. “I believe our team will continue to develop, adding more specialists to meet new challenges and opportunities.”

Connecting labels with data and digital experiences

Preparing for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)

Right now, one major topic is the Digital Product Passport.

Collaborating – with shared goals and purpose

As technology, legislation and sustainability goals continue to evolve, so does Martin’s team. “We keep track in different ways – both internally and through external networks,” he explains. “Right now, one major topic is the Digital Product Passport. The detailed requirements for textiles are still to come, and something we’re following closely.”

The RIS team works across many functions within Nilörn – from sales and production to IT, compliance and sustainability. “We act as technical sales support for the sales teams when it comes to variable data labels and digital solutions,” Martin says. “We also provide our production teams with solutions for efficient processes and work closely with IT and compliance.”

They are also introducing AI where it can add real value. “We’re implementing AI for suitable tasks, for example to improve efficiency and quality control,” Martin adds. It’s another step towards working smarter while keeping people and collaboration at the centre.
