Sustainability at Masterpress

At Masterpress, we believe that responsible business is about creating value not only for customers and shareholders, but also for employees, local communities, and the natural environment.

Although, as a privately held company, we are currently not subject to the mandatory sustainability reporting requirements introduced under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), we have voluntarily decided to prepare and publish ESG and sustainability reports. Our objective is to provide transparency to customers, business partners, financial institutions, employees, and other shareholders.

In 2025, we developed our Sustainability Strategy for 2025-2030 and adopted a Climate Transition Plan. We also implemented key policies and codes covering environmental protection, human rights, business ethics, anti-corruption, and occupational health and safety.
