Dear reader,
This year’s Sustainability Brochure reflects a strategic decision to focus our reporting exclusively on the environmental, social and governance matters that are most critical to the value creation at the CABB Group.
The reporting year has delivered measurable progress, leveraging the foundations established in 2024. We successfully finalized the validation of our near-term climate targets through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), underlining our commitment to continued, measured reductions in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions until 2030. Our decarbonization measures have delivered the measurable results described below: for example, our Gersthofen site in Germany achieved the “ISCC PLUS and ISCC EU RFNBO” certifications. This marks a major milestone in expanding the availability of products with verified carbon footprint data and certified renewable-input options.
The dedication of our people is key to the success of our transformation focused on emissions reduction, resource efficiency and responsible business practices. While employees’ safety remains a non-negotiable priority, we recognize that resilience is essential for navigating today’s increasingly complex environment. Therefore, in 2025, we kept improving the health and wellbeing of our employees by providing trainings on behavioral safety and implemented further efficiency projects in our production sites to reduce emissions and improve resilience of our business. In 2025, we continued advancing our enviromental intiatives in support of our defined 2030 targets. Additionally, we have joined a strategic partnership with Origin by Ocean, a Finnish company developing algae-based ingredients, to build a biorefinery in Finland, with the aim of commercializing ingredients from invasive brown algae at industrial scale.
«Sustainability is a core value that shapes our culture and strengthens our resilience. This is why, at the CABB Group, we are committed to turning our intentions into actions and our goals into measurable, scientific results.»
Looking ahead, we will continue to prioritize process efficiency and maintain local production across our global operations, advocating for both domestic industry strength and a fair playing field by taking into account the internationally acknowledged Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). By focusing intensely on material issues and fostering strong collaborations with our stakeholders, we continue the measures described in this report and disclose progress against them.
I invite you to explore the following pages to see how our teams have advanced the CABB Group’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities and achieved the measurable progress in 2025. For deep-dive technical information see the Annex to this Sustainability Brochure 2025 on our website.
Sincerely yours,
Tobias Schalow
CEO CABB Group
