Sustainability
Message from the Chief Executive Officer
At Zalaris, sustainability is fundamental to how we create long-term value for our customers, employees, shareholders, and society. It is embedded in our strategy and guides the way we innovate, operate, and grow as a responsible business.
As expectations for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance continue to evolve, we remain committed to integrating sustainability into our business and delivering solutions that help our customers achieve their own sustainability ambitions.
Our progress is driven by the dedication of our people and the trust of our customers and partners. While sustainability is an ongoing journey, we remain focused on continuous improvement, responsible growth, and creating lasting value for all our stakeholders.
Together, we are building a more resilient and sustainable future.

Message from the Chief Sustainability Officer
At Zalaris, sustainability is at the heart of how we create long-term value for our customers, employees, shareholders, and society. We continue to embed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into our business, driving measurable progress through responsible decision-making and continuous improvement.
Addressing climate change remains a key priority. We are committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, supported by our science-based emissions reduction targets and initiatives that improve energy efficiency, promote responsible procurement, and reduce emissions across our value chain.
We are also committed to transparent and reliable sustainability reporting. By strengthening our governance, data quality, and internal controls, we continue to enhance our disclosures in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
In June 2026, our commitment to responsible business practices was recognised with the EcoVadis Silver Medal, reflecting our progress across environmental, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
While we are proud of our achievements, we recognise that sustainability is a journey of continuous improvement. Together with our employees, customers, suppliers, and partners, we remain committed to building a more resilient and sustainable future.
