Creating a Cooler, Circular future
At Coolpack, sustainability is not an afterthought, but a conscious course of action. Our role in the chain obliges us to look beyond the product alone. We work on solutions that are designed smarter, last longer and fit within a circular chain in which raw materials are reused. In this way we strengthen innovation and cooperation in the entire cold chain. From choice of materials to return flows. The goal is a cold chain that is cleaner, more efficient and future-proof.
This is how we are building a cold chain that is future-proof: with circular design, cleaner choices and smart innovations that create value for our customers, our people and the community around us.
- Our ambition -
Net Zero in 2050
Every step towards a cleaner chain starts with taking responsibility for our own impact. Therefore, like our Bunzl sisters, we are working towards climate neutral operations: by 2030 for scope 1 & 2, and by 2050 for all our emissions. We do this by investing in circular materials, energy-efficient processes and solutions that cause less waste. The result: refrigeration and freezer solutions that perform better, emit less and contribute to a safer and more sustainable cold chain.
Together we make the cold chain cooler, cleaner and future-proof.
Our 2025 Sustainability Report is ready!
Coolpack’s new 2025 sustainability report is online. In this report, we show how we are performing in the areas of the environment, social responsibility and good governance (ESG). The document provides transparent insight into our impact on people and the environment as well as our ambitions for the coming years.

Our four strategic pillars
Circular Economy
We are accelerating the transition to a circular cold chain: less waste, more reuse and circular materials. Our refrigeration solutions and packaging are carefully designed so they last longer, are easily separable and reduce environmental impact at every link in the chain.
Carbon smart
To reduce our climate impact, we actively steer for both reduction and transparency. With data-driven insights such as LCAs, dashboards and product passports, we make our performance measurable and continuously improve it. In this way we achieve progress in design, production and transport.
Community
For us, sustainability starts with people. A healthy, safe and inclusive work environment is the foundation. We also contribute to social projects and initiatives that add value to the environment in which we work. This is how we build a community in which everyone can grow with us.
Co-creation
Together you get further. That is why we develop solutions in close cooperation with customers, suppliers and chain partners. Sharing knowledge and aligning processes creates a transparent and future-proof chain from which everyone benefits.
Where do we stand anno 2026
Solar Panels
Conscious Energy & Buildings
In 2023, we installed 780 solar panels. Since then, our electricity consumption is structurally 45% lower. We buy the rest 100% green. All lighting consists of energy-efficient LED. We still use gas for heating. Only for the warehouse. In 2026 we will start with a concrete plan to replace this completely before 2030.
Powerful, focused and transparent. That’s how Coolpack becomes sustainable.
Electric
Clean Mobility & Transport
Our leased car fleet is now 78% electric or hybrid. New cars? Always electric. We expect to drive entirely electric by the end of 2026.
Our own transport runs on 100% HVO diesel, good for 90% less COâ‚‚ emissions. We send external shipments climate-neutral and offset the remaining emissions through certified climate projects.
This is how we keep the chain cool and clean.
Less COâ‚‚
Carbon control
Since 2019, we have reduced our COâ‚‚ emissions (scope 1 & 2) by more than 50%, despite solid growth. In 2025, we launched our own COâ‚‚ dashboard, through which we measure, analyze and adjust scope 1, 2 and partly 3 emissions in detail.
Grip on data = grip on impact.
Audits
Conscious Supply chain
Responsible purchasing and fair working conditions are standard for us. From our parent organization Bunzl, we carry out hundreds of audits of our suppliers every year.
By 2025, that would be 1,430 audits, aimed at excluding child and forced labor, among other things.
A strong chain starts with a clean chain.
Recyclable
Circular Waste Reduction
More than 75% of our waste is recyclable. By separating smartly and tightly, we have reduced our residual waste by 72% in five years. And we continue to build: every additional percent of circularity counts.
From waste to value.

Care for community
At Coolpack, work is all about meaning. Everyone counts. We offer a safe, healthy work environment and invest in growth through education and GoodHabits training. Since 2024, we have been recognized as a Great Place to Work.
We are growing as a team and taking everyone with us.
Continuous improvement
Quality and sustainability reinforce each other. Thanks to our ISO 9001 certification, we have been ensuring for years that our processes are safe, efficient and reliable – essential for delivering high-quality refrigeration and freezing solutions. At the same time, ISO 14001 certification ensures that our environmental impact is structurally reduced and raw materials are used more intelligently.
So we continue to improve every day, without compromising on performance or service. Because every optimization, large and small, contributes to better products, a cleaner supply chain and a stronger future for our customers.
Always the best solution for the customer. Today, tomorrow and every step after.
