Energy management – 100% of manufacturing plants, offices in Barcelona and Louvrette and five more sites use renewable electricity. Smart manufacturing – An Industry 4.0 project is being rolled out at Quadpack Wood, with Internet of Things (IoT) devices providing real-time data of the manufacturing process, giving process visibility and efficiency control of the equipment. This multi-year project will include more factories and system implementation. Business transformation – The first wave of Quadpack Connect, a long-term digitalisation project that includes the deployment of new ERP, CRM, data and analytics tools from the SAP HANA suite, has gone live in 2021. Supply chain – Thanks to the EcoVadis Buyer Module platform, Quadpack can support and follow its suppliers’ sustainable transformation.
