Act responsibly
Strengthening partnerships with our employees and the communities we operate in and integrating their diverse perspectives is essential for the sustainable growth of Aluflexpack as a company.
Our employees
Skilled, engaged and committed employees alongside long-term partnerships with local communities are the main assets in pursuing our ambition of becoming a packaging leader in the global market. We remain committed to supporting the growth of our employees and ensuring them a safe and meaningful work environment with an emphasis on the achievement of a healthy work-life balance. Our core values reflect the environment we support – ambitious, proactive, empathic, systematic, passionate and with a drive to create.
To demonstrate our commitment and passion to improving the overall work experience at Aluflexpack, in 2023 we created an ambitious employee wellbeing strategy and accompanying implementation plan for the period 2023 to 2025. The strategy is founded on three pillars – Health, Social and Life – aimed at creating a supportive and safer working environment while driving a positive impact upon communities.
Health and safety as the top priority
Prioritising health and safety (H&S) and protecting employees from HSE related accidents, injuries, and illnesses by implementing health and safety protocols not only leads to higher productivity and efficiency but is one of the key elements of overall satisfaction with working conditions.
The year 2023 was foundational for Aluflexpack in this segment, with a detailed three-year HSE road map developed encompassing key HSE pillars aligned with our 3-WIN strategy. We are steadfast in our pursuit of creating a safer, healthier and environmentally sustainable workplace.
Our integrated HSE Management System will serve as the backbone of our endeavour, establishing a unified standard to which all our locations are held. This system is crafted to manage all HSE elements uniformly, ensuring a cohesive approach across our global operations. The primary strategic objective in this segment is to minimise the occurrence of injuries per working hours and to drive the lost time injury rate (LTIR) to 2.0 by 2030 (4.6 in 2023).
Sustainability in the Supply Chain
Aluflexpack recognizes that a sustainable supply chain is essential for long-term resilience and responsible resource management. Adhering to sustainability principles, we aim to generate value for stakeholders, reduce risks, foster innovation, and support a prosperous, fair, and environmentally sound future.
Our network includes over 1,300 suppliers, with more than 90% based in the EU. We have developed of a Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure adherence to legal, social, and ethical standards. This Code mandates supplier commitment to legal compliance, integrity, non-discrimination, ethical conduct, responsible sourcing, human rights, health and safety, environmental protection, and data privacy.
We collaborate with suppliers on projects that reduce our combined environmental impact. A 2023 initiative aims to recycle and repurpose scrap aluminium in our production, exemplifying our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
A Great Place to Work
At Aluflexpack, we believe that our employees are our main asset. This is why we have decided to go “from good to great”, and make our company a great place to work!
We listened to our employees and have developed an action plan aiming to increase employee satisfaction, in topics ranging from workplace benefits, through communication, to strengthening team spirit and the feeling of pride.
Constant improvements in the workplace result not only in better work performance, but also make a friendlier, happier environment that is recognised even beyond our factory walls!
Employee activities
Within our Great Place to Work project, we are continuously committed to systematically building and investing in improving the satisfaction of our employees and enhancing our culture.
With this in mind, we support projects that promote sports activities and encourage our employees and their families to live a more active and healthier lifestyle, socialise with one another and spend time in nature. Some of the events in which our employees participated in 2023:
"Together Event" in Krašograd with over 600 employees, International Women’s Day trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina, summer team competition in the Swiss mountains with go-karting, annual team building with sports in Türkiye, participation in Wings for Life Run, participation at the Vienna City Marathon, Đirada Pašman trail, Promina Trail, Jazavac Trail and Zira Brač trail, Christmas charity for abandoned animals and many more.
Community investments
"Future in your neighbourhood"
We want to encourage and contribute to positive changes in society through the project of training, guidance and employment of young people entitled Future in Your Neighbourhood.
The aim of this project is for high school and university students to recognise Aluflexpack as an esteemed and desired employer and guide them towards in-demand professions, to employ young people of all professions, to facilitate professional development and career development in new generations and strengthen society and local communities.
GOOD Fest
As a successful socially responsible company, we encourage excellence and creativity in everything we do. For many years, we have been supporting projects in the communities surrounding our sites, especially those related to our employees, children and youth, culture and art and environmental protection.
GOOD Fest is an excellent opportunity that completes our vision of how to contribute to the community in which we operate in the best possible way: a theatre and music festival organised by Theatre Moruzgva and the Tourist Board of the Town of Drniš, where we act as a partner supporting the art programme.
