Coster Group, a global leader in the aerosol and dispensing packaging industry, has transitioned to 100% electricity from renewable sources across all its operations worldwide.
This milestone reflects Coster Group’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and underscores its responsibility to all the company’s stakeholders, said the company.
Since 2017, the business has focused on reducing energy consumption and adopting renewable energy solutions to meet internal and international energy and emissions targets.
From 2017 to 2023, the company implemented a range of significant energy-saving initiatives, achieving an energy efficiency improvement of nearly 7 GWh in electricity consumption across its global sites.
In addition to these energy-saving efforts, Coster Group has focused on reducing its carbon footprint by transitioning to renewable energy sources, utilising both direct access to renewable energy and internationally recognised renewable energy certificates (iRECs and GOs), ensuring that its entire electricity consumption comes from renewable sources.
"Sustainability is at the core of Coster Group’s business strategy," said Andrea Raineri, chief innovation & sustainability officer at Coster Group.
"We are committed to having a positive environmental impact while continuously challenging ourselves to improve. Our sustainability roadmap will guide us toward achieving ambitious goals by 2030, strengthening our dedication to a more sustainable future."
Since 2018, the company has been actively investing in the self-consumption of renewable energy through the installation of solar panels at its manufacturing sites.
Currently, four of Coster's plants are equipped with solar power systems, and the company plans to expand, where it is possible, this renewable energy infrastructure in the future. This expansion will help further reduce energy costs and environmental impact.
