Sustainability at the CEWE Group

At the CEWE Group, all employees are dedicated every day to turning precious moments into lasting memories. We view sustainable action as an investment in our company’s future viability and as a key driver of resilience and competitiveness. Sustainability is a central component of our strategy. We consider our responsibility across the entire value chain—from materials and energy, through production and shipping, to employees, suppliers, customers, and our social engagement. We have anchored this strategy in five dimensions of sustainability.

Sustainability Reports

We were one of the first SDAX companies to establish transparent sustainability reporting: Since 2010, we have been reporting on and documenting our activities in an annual, group-wide sustainability report. Since 2024, we have been reporting in accordance with the CSRD and have integrated the sustainability report into our annual report.

Strategy & Collaboration Meeting

Our Sustainability Ambassadors (SAMs) recently gathered for a digital strategy meeting. The workshop sessions focused on the joint sustainability strategy, the role of the cross-site network, and planning for the coming year.

In addition, participants discussed how the network can work even more closely together in the future, share knowledge, and motivate colleagues to act sustainably. In this way, the Sustainability Ambassadors make an important contribution to making the CEWE Group’s sustainability strategy visible and effective in everyday work.

Think globally, act locally

In early September, the CEWE Group held its Europe-wide Sustainability Week. Employees at various locations came together to discuss current developments, learn about new perspectives, and gain inspiration for sustainable practices in their day-to-day work.

The program combined strategic topics with concrete real-world examples. In keynote speeches and webinars, knowledge on the topic of sustainability within the CEWE Group was shared and discussed, while hands-on activities got employees involved. Sustainability Week once again highlighted the diverse nature of sustainability at the CEWE Group and the importance of exchanging ideas across national, location, and departmental boundaries.
