Pawi Group AG publishes 2023 Environmental Report – sustainability as a corporate mission
As a leading provider of packaging solutions in the food and non-food sector, Pawi is committed to creating a holistic sustainable future. Energy management is a key focus of the sustainability strategy. The decision to connect to district heating in Winterthur (Switzerland) and the use of photovoltaics in Singen (Germany) are key measures for reducing the environmental footprint. A further focus is on developing more sustainable packaging solutions. For example, Pawi is developing soy water-based films for paper strip window bags in collaboration with ETH Zurich. “Our aim is to make a significant contribution to environmental protection through the use of renewable energies and efficient technologies,” explains Edoardo Finotti, Co-CEO Operations of Pawi Packaging Schweiz AG. Pawi has also made great strides in social sustainability by introducing the sociocratic organisational structure at the production site in Singen as well. This structure aims to promote a positive corporate culture and strengthen employee participation and responsibility. “The introduction of sociocracy enables us to create a working environment in which every voice is heard, and every employee can actively participate in decisions,” says Ralf Kautzmann, Managing Director of Pawi Packaging Deutschland GmbH.

About Us
International confectionery association SWEETS GLOBAL NETWORK e. V. (SG) is an established network of over 300 member companies based in ten countries. SG is the leading communication platform for confectionery professionals in German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and beyond. Meanwhile, most companies involved in manufacturing and retailing confectionery (wholesalers, specialist retailers, importers, brokers, producers) are members. All enjoy huge benefits, such as a range of high quality services and invitations to exclusive, member only events. There are an additional 40 supporting members active in the confectionery industry supply sector.
The International Sweets Business Forum in Berlin has taken SG well beyond the traditional territory of conventional training seminars and workshops. Social events, such as the New Year Reception in Munich or the ISM WARM UP held on the eve of the ISM in Cologne now rank as must-attend fixtures in the confectionery business year.
While acknowledging the growing significance of the global information and knowledge community, SG never loses sight of what’s going on at a local level. Articles in SG-Magazin and sweets processing, the SG-Newsletter (several times a week), annual publication of the SG-Directory and worldwide contacts bear witness to the pronounced internationality of the association.
