Our commitments
to sustainability

Circularity

At newwen, every tiny aspect of our business is seen through the lens of efficiency and circularity. Like carefully choosing materials from suppliers to help us achieve our 100% recycled and reusable policy. Or by integrating environmental demands on our product development. 100% sustainability will very soon be the norm, the quicker we get there, the better for everyone.

Credibility

Our commitment to sustainability is absolute. Liking having LCAs (Life Cycle Assessment) completed by verified assessment companies for all our high-volume ranges to prove the environmental benefits. We also empower clients with the technology, data and equipment to ensure the credibility of their logistics, from repair maintenance to handling.

Efficiency

Efficiency cuts costs and helps to create a cleaner world. Something we do for clients across the globe. Like boosting load capacity and load carriers by 20%+, leading to less trucks, less miles, less costs and lower environmental impact. Through intelligent cooperation with clients, our specialists create the most efficient solutions to the most complex challenges.

Transparency

Loyalty, truth and transparency are everything to us, it’s why we share all our data with clients on custom dashboards. Calculation models, contracts, itemised cost breakdown of each product – everything. Such transparency reveals hidden efficiencies, reducing costs and helps create a cleaner world.

A brighter planet

Sustainable Supply Chains need to happen. We call have a responsibility to face the challenge and help solve them. In every aspect of our business we’re proactively creating circularity, to reduce, reuse and ensure 100% recyclability. Smarter designs and intelligent thinking equal a brighter future.

Transport efficiency

Research shows that 16 of the biggest sea freight vessels produce the same pollution as all the cars in the world together. It’s why we instigate multi-modal shipping methods, transporting products by train or manufacturing in Europe instead of Asia. Reducing emissions and costs for clients.

Smarter tech

Challenges breed innovation and data is the key to this. Amongst many other innovations, we develop both passive and active trackers, used right across the world. With data transparency comes greater efficiencies, reductions in waste, less CO2 and better productivity.

Innovative designs

Right now, we have 7.2 million products in use around Europe. All are sustainable, returnable, reusable, nothing we sell is single use. And we never use any materials that conflict with the Green Deal goals that we strive towards.

Reduced CO2

It’s our mission to bring the emissions for our products and services down drastically. By increasing efficiencies in Supply Chains, we greatly reduce environmental impact, CO2 emissions and costs. We also focus on the total product life cycle. From production to transport, from use to re-use.

Better packaging

We’re always on a quest to supply environmentally friendly products or services that replaces the demand for non-green products. Like eliminating the need for millions of single use carboard boxes by creating new reusable boxes made from 100% sustainable materials.

E
Environmental (Environment & Circularity)

Using energy and materials more intelligently

We are working toward concrete environmental goals such as CO₂ reduction, energy efficiency, and circular product development.

From energy consumption to energy awareness
Energy consumption targets – CS B.V. To operate sustainably, you must first understand your starting point. That’s why we map out our energy consumption in detail — per location and per work process. For each location, we have defined clear reduction targets, which we actively monitor. This makes sustainability measurable and achievable within our own operations.

S
Social (People & Community)

Human. Aware. Committed.
For us, sustainability isn’t just about circular processes, smart technology, or CO₂ reduction. It’s also
about people, about caring for one another, for today’s generations and those to come. That’s why we
actively support initiatives that make a real impact, both locally and globally.
Our social commitment is broad and intentional, from clean drinking water in Nepal to a warm holiday
season for those in need. We focus especially on:

  • People in vulnerable situations, such as the elderly or low-income families
  • Youth and sports
  • Arts and culture
  • Education and technology

The purpose behind our efforts
We believe in strong partnerships that go beyond the short term. Our focus is always on the long view and on the wider world. Social sponsorship is not an afterthought, but a conscious choice. Because giving back matters.

A Safe Workplace Starts with an Open Culture
A professional organization requires transparency and accountability. Through our Whistleblower Policy, we provide employees and partners with a safe and confidential way to report suspected misconduct. We have designated internal confidants and follow structured procedures to assess reports thoroughly and objectively.

Working Together Toward Globally Responsible Supply Chains
Modern Slavery Policy
Everyone deserves a safe and fair working environment. Our Modern Slavery Policy outlines how we identify, prevent, and address human rights violations, both within our organization and across our partner network. We actively screen suppliers for potential risks and take action when warning signs arise. Because economic growth should never come at the cost of human dignity.

G
Governance (Integrity & Compliance)

Our Governance Principles
Sustainability, for us, goes beyond reusable packaging and circular products. It’s also reflected in how we treat one another. At Newwen, part of Container Systems B.V., we deliver on our promises. With respect, integrity, and entrepreneurship, we build sustainable relationships with all our stakeholders and the communities around us.

Our Code of Conduct reflects our values and complies with relevant laws and regulations. It serves as a practical guide for responsible decision-making, from strategy to day-to-day operations. It helps us make fair, consistent, and forward-looking decisions.

We are proud to have earned the trust and respect of our customers, partners, and stakeholders. But trust is never a given, it’s the result of how we think and act every day. Even small violations of our Code of Conduct can harm our reputation and cause economic damage. That’s why we take our values seriously. We act in accordance with the highest European standards and embed our code in everything we do.
This is how we remain worthy of trust, today and tomorrow.

Our Responsibility Extends Beyond Our Organizanon
Our commitment to sustainability and human rights reaches far beyond our own operations. In our Supplier Code of Conduct, we clearly define what we expect from our suppliers in terms of environmental practices, ethics, and working conditions. Suppliers are selected and evaluated based on their active efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote fair labor conditions.
Because only by working together can we build a truly responsible supply chain.

Transparency in Every Relanonship
To prevent conflicts of interest, we apply clear guidelines on gifts, invitations, and entertainment. Employees are required to report anything above a set value. This ensures our partnerships remain professional, transparent, and ethical in every situation and with every stakeholder.
