Sustainability
Our Commitment to Sustainable Manufacturing
Our Commitment …
In our sustainable business strategy, OPM Group has identified four areas of commitment.
- People
- Supply Chain
- Solutions
- Environment
We believe that by integrating these areas in our daily business agenda, we will improve our environmental, economic and social impact. Our daily operations and packaging solutions have a direct impact on the environment and on individuals– from creating jobs, to protecting, preserving and safely transporting all sorts of products, including pharma. We believe in producing our products in an environment that respects people and the planet.
Our Commitment…Environment
OPM is committed to reducing its environmental footprint in areas such as energy, waste and water as well as driving progress toward a circular economy.
We expect our suppliers to support us in achieving our goals and to set themselves targets that are as ambitious as our own.
Our Commitment … People
We aim to use our position to improve well-being for the individual, working environment and economic growth on a wider scale. OPM is responsible for the wellbeing of its employees, partners and the local communities.
As a proud family business, great working relationships form the heart of OPM Group – we consider each and every employee a member of the OPM Family. Our people are our greatest asset, therefore we make sure we provide safe, healthy and satisfying working conditions.
At OPM Group, we believe that development should never stop – particularly when it comes to skills and talents. We have a strong focus on nurturing our team and creating beneficial opportunities for personal and career growth within all areas of the company.
To formulate and track personal development goals, we implemented the OPM Training Academy in 2012 as a way to encourage learning, share insight and help every member of the team develop market knowledge and skills.

Our Commitment … Supply Chain

Through Sustainable production: By improving the efficiency of OPM production processes, we contribute to sustainable development & growth.
Responsible sourcing: OPM strives to create supply chains with complete traceability. Our suppliers must ensure sustainable and ethical business practices through policies, targets, management systems and processes for continuous improvement of their sustainability performance.
Sustainable partnership: OPM has built long-term relationships with suppliers and customers ensuring stability. We have been doing business with some of our customers and suppliers for more than 30 years. OPM Group assesses and audits suppliers in fields such as environmental performance, health & safety, human rights, ethics and fair competition.
We work with our strategic suppliers and customers to continuously improve sustainability standards in our value chain.
Our Commitment … Solutions
Develop sustainable packaging solutions
At OPM Group, our customers rely on us to stay one step ahead of changing plastics and packaging regulations, including the UK Plastic Tax, EU Packaging Levies and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). As a business, we strive to offer our customers the most sustainable packaging solutions that meet market performance and cost throughout their lifecycle.
Sustainable Materials: We are always improving our packaging solutions with the goal of creating labels and packaging that excels and delights shoppers while using fewer resources. We work closely with our suppliers to understand where sustainable materials, that may offer better biodegradable and recyclable solutions, can be introduced.
Sustainable solutions: In our quest to offer our customers the most sustainable label and packaging solutions and help to create a zero-waste commercial sector, we also want to make sure their valuable products reach the marketplace intact and aren’t wasted, defective and sent to landfill. To accomplish this, we ensure the solutions offered still provide the necessary barrier methods and strength to provide the functionality that brands needs innovate and compete. We do this by working closely with our suppliers to develop new high-performance materials that seamlessly blend quality with sustainability.
Innovation: We believe in the power of transformation, innovation and optimisation. At OPM Group, our fantastic working relationships with clients in every sector pushes us to deliver future-proof solutions and arm our partners with all the tools for commercial success.
For our experienced team, the spirit of innovation in print and labelling is key for the future of our company, employees, partners and customers.
