Aluberg
Aluberg is an Italian centre of excellence in the production of aluminium packaging materials and flexible laminates. Its products are critical components for safety and preservation in the pharmaceutical and food sectors at international level — markets where compliance, traceability and responsibility throughout the supply chain are not optional, but enabling requirements.
Since 2024, Circularity has been accompanying Aluberg as an ESG partner in a structured, multi-year journey integrating sustainability strategy, reporting, emissions management and supply chain assessment.
The context
The aluminium packaging sector is characterised by intensive material use and a complex supply chain spanning raw material procurement, thermal transformation processes and distribution to highly regulated international markets. In this context, ESG criteria are increasingly becoming enabling requirements for maintaining and developing commercial relationships with major players in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
Aluberg already had a corporate culture oriented towards quality and responsibility. The next step was to transform this sensitivity into a structured system: measurable, reportable and communicable with authority to clients, partners and international stakeholders.
The objectives
To define a multi-year ESG strategy; report sustainability performance annually according to GRI Standards; measure the carbon footprint across all emission Scopes; develop a Carbon Management Plan oriented towards decarbonisation; and assess supply chain sustainability to identify risks and opportunities along the value chain.
Circularity's intervention
Since 2024, Circularity has been supporting Aluberg across four integrated workstreams:
Sustainability strategic plan
Circularity supported Aluberg in defining a structured ESG strategy, identifying intervention priorities, medium-to-long-term objectives and the concrete actions to achieve them. The plan integrates the operational specificities of the packaging sector with the growing expectations of the pharmaceutical and food markets in terms of environmental and social responsibility, building a coherent vision oriented towards continuous improvement.
Annual Sustainability Report (GRI Standards)
Each year, Circularity supports Aluberg in drafting and publishing its Sustainability Report according to GRI Standards, ensuring continuity in reporting and transparency towards all stakeholders. The document is the primary tool through which Aluberg communicates its ESG performance to international clients, commercial partners and financial institutions.
Carbon Footprint measurement and Carbon Management Plan
Circularity measured the company's greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3, analysing every phase of the production cycle: from aluminium procurement to thermal transformation processes through to distribution. Building on the data collected, a Carbon Management Plan was developed that integrates emissions reduction objectives with the company's development plan, tracing a concrete decarbonisation trajectory and alignment with Science Based Targets.
ESG supply chain assessment
Aluberg's significant supply chain was assessed through Circularity's digital tool, developing a supplier evaluation model that identifies risks and opportunities along the entire value chain. The objective is to ensure that every link in the supply chain meets high environmental and ethical standards, reducing reputational risks and strengthening operational resilience.
The results
The journey initiated in 2024 has equipped Aluberg with an integrated and operational ESG system. The company now has a multi-year sustainability strategy, an annually published Sustainability Report according to GRI Standards, a structured carbon footprint measurement across all Scopes and a Carbon Management Plan oriented towards decarbonisation.
The ESG supply chain assessment has strengthened control over indirect impacts and reduced risks along the value chain. On the competitive front, the journey consolidates Aluberg's positioning as a reliable and responsible partner in the international pharmaceutical and food markets, where ESG credibility is increasingly a factor of strategic differentiation.
