Our best practices fora better future

Ecodesign consists of introducing environmental criteria in the conception and development phase of your packaging project, with the aim of reducing the ecological footprint of your folding box at the different stages of its life cycle: from the choice of raw materials to the end of its useful life. Our proposals on ecodesign are as follows : optimizing of packaging size and volume; reduction of cardboard weight; prescription of mono-material solutions (to facilitate the recyclability of the cartons); plastic-free metallisation; support in the choice of more eco friendly materials, inks, films, glitter (ecoglitter) and varnishes.

Carton is a clear example of a circular economy. It is a recyclable material, which is made from natural, renewable raw materials from transparently, ethically and sustainably managed forests. We offer our customers the possibility to use FSC® certified materials; recycled materials (with a variable % of recycled fibres, they are usually also FSC® certified); materials made from organic waste (such as cocoa, coffee, maize, seaweed…) and lastly, wood-free materials (cellulose fibre from wood is not used for its manufacture, but fibres from other renewable annual crops such as bamboo or cotton).

The inks that we use at EGISA do not contain mineral oils in their formulation. It is also possible to use 100% vegetable-based inks (free of mineral oil and volatile organic compounds), bio-based inks, low-migration inks, depending on the technical characteristics of the projects. As well as water-based varnishes (acrylics). Special water-based varnishes to create barriers (e.g., greasing instead of grease-proof film).

Since 2017, 100% of the electricity used by EGISA has come exclusively from 100% renewable energy sources certified by the Spanish National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC). EGISA has thus become an actor in the energy transition. All our folding boxes are produced in our facilities with green electricity.

Thanks to an optimization of our production processes and an investment in innovative and more efficient production technologies:renovation of the offset park with the acquisition of a 10-colour Heidelberg press with a cold stamping module 4 years ago; gradual replacement of UV dryers by LED dryers; purchase at the end of 2021 of a new 4-colour offset press (operational from September 2022).

Thanks to more efficient facilities: energetic rehabilitation of our warehouses (facades); LED lighting in all our facilities; replacement of the air conditioning system with a new, much more efficient equipment from an energy point of view in 2021. This last project is subsidized by the aid program for energy efficiency actions in SMEs and managed by the Catalan Energy Institute.

Implementation of a gender equality plan in EGISA (2021); positive actions to balance the composition of the managerial/executive and technical positions from a gender perspective (in 2020, of 6 managerial positions, 2 are occupied by women); measures to balance work, personal and family life for all employees (flexible working hours, teleworking, digital disconnection).

Continuous professional training is the key to developing the skills of our employees, contributing to their professional + personal development and fostering the acquisition of collective skills.

For all of our employees, for a more sustainable daily life and future (in collaboration with our environmental department)

• We have supported the United Nations Global Compact since 2024, adopting its 10 principles on human rights, labour standards, the environment, and anti-corruption.

• We integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our strategy.

• We have an Ethics Code in place since 2014, updated in 2024, as well as specific Codes of Conduct for employees (since 2023) and suppliers (since 2024).

Since 2023, we have implemented a crime prevention and detection model to ensure regulatory compliance at all levels. This model includes:
✔️Criminal Offense Prevention and Detection Policy
✔️ Ethics and Compliance Training for Our Team
✔️ A Confidential and Anonymous Whistleblowing Channel to Report Irregularities

At EGISA, we regularly review our policies and processes to ensure their effectiveness and alignment with international standards. Continuous improvement and transparent communication with our stakeholders form the foundation of our commitment to good corporate governance.

At EGISA, information security is a priority. We have a robust risk management and data protection framework that ensures regulatory compliance and the resilience of our systems.

• We implement strict data protection policies aligned with international standards.

• We have a preventive approach based on risk management and business continuity to minimize potential disruptions.

• We ensure regulatory compliance in cybersecurity and information protection.

Our vision is clear: to protect the information of our clients, employees, and partners through a proactive, innovative, and continuously evolving approach.

In 2025, EGISA carried out a cybersecurity consultancy project aimed at defining a security plan tailored to its business activity and aligned with ISO 27001 and the Spanish National Security Framework (ENS), reinforcing its commitment to information protection and continuous improvement.
