A company engaged in pallet restoration and production, industrial packaging sales, and recycling plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable development, improving environmental performance, supporting employee well-being, and enhancing corporate governance.
Developing and implementing an ESG strategy (Environmental, Social, and Governance aspects) enables a company not only to meet modern market demands but also to strengthen its reputation, improve economic performance, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
KA is a small enterprise, meaning that CSRD reporting is not mandatory for us. However, we voluntarily implement sustainability reporting in collaboration with key clients and partners, following EFRAG guidelines (Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for non-listed companies).
Most importantly, we have established our ESG goals and strategy for 2025–2035, aiming for carbon neutrality and the achievement of social and governance objectives.
As a responsible next-generation circular economy company, we are committed to developing sustainable solutions that benefit our clients, partners, society, and the planet.
We strive to prove that sustainability can be a mutually beneficial agreement with the environment.
According to our data, as of today, more than 30% of all types of wooden pallets end up in landfills, while another 30% are incinerated. Only 40% of pallets from the total volume (including non-standard pallets) are restored and reintroduced into circulation.
We have set ourselves an ambitious goal – to return an additional 15,000 m³ of wood per year back into circulation in the form of transport packaging made from recycled/restored materials.
Additionally, we aim to increase the reuse of industrial plastic packaging by 40% and industrial metal packaging by 30%.
Reducing environmental impact is our core mission, and this is where we can maximize our contribution and achieve real positive results.
People have the greatest impact on a company’s results, which is why we strive to align company values with societal interests in everything we do daily. We aim to create equal opportunities that motivate growth, learning, and the development of an optimal work environment.
We strengthen our company’s position by keeping our promises and ensuring reliable management, transparency, and ethics for our partners. Our favorite words at all levels of management are COLLABORATION, RELIABILITY, and CONVERSION INTO ADDED VALUE FOR THE CLIENT.
E – 100% closed-loop wood recycling, increase renewable energy production, introduce more eco-friendly transportation, and improve production energy efficiency by 30%.
S – Increase the number of jobs by 30%, focusing on local communities. Implement employee retraining programs for transitioning to sustainable work methods and process automation.
G – Annual publication of ESG reports under VSRS, FSC-Recycled certification, EcoVadis certification, as well as ensuring responsible forestry practices among wood suppliers according to FSC standards and integrating ESG metrics into our business processes.
FINAL GOAL IN 10 YEARS: Become the industry leader in pallet repair and recycling, achieving a 100% sustainable production model with minimal environmental impact, while actively contributing to social development and natural resource conservation.
