SBTi has officially approved our net-zero targets 2030-2050!    Climate change demands urgent action. The year 2023 was pivotal in laying the groundwork for the future. In December, we submitted our updated SBTi targets, to align with the net-zero framework. Preparing these targets was a real Spadel team effort, with involvement from different departments and business units.   Today, we are proud to announce that these targets were officially approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)! Concretely, Spadel commits to reaching net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050, versus a 2022 base year. More details on the near and long-term targets can be found at the SBTi website (https://lnkd.in/d6-Ef-3J)   This commitment reflects our determination to be part of the global movement for ambitious decarbonization and to encourage positive climate policies.   These goals are part of our overall sustainability strategy and demonstrate our long-term commitment. We thank all our partners and collaborators for their continued support and invite them to join us in our efforts for a more sustainable future.     #SBTi #Spadel #2030Targets #2050Targets #NetZero #CSR #Sustainability  

Here’s why all our plastic bottles now have attached caps 🌍💧 As our consumers have certainly noticed, all our plastic bottles are now available with feature caps that remain attached to the neck. This change has been implemented gradually over the past weeks and months. But why have we decided to make this change? 🔄 European Mandate According to the 2019 directive on single-use plastics, Europe requires that from July 3, 2024, plastic bottle caps must be attached to the neck. At Spadel, we are complying with this regulation: the caps on our bottles will now be “attached”. Bottle caps are a significant source of pollution, often found in nature and resulting in a loss of recyclable materials. With attached caps, they will stay connected to the bottle, making recycling easier and reducing environmental litter. The cap change is a meticulous process. Years of research and development have gone into improving our packaging, considering user experience, the amount of plastic required, and adjustments to bottle molds and production lines. Our new caps are the lightest yet, weighing only 1.3 grams despite the additional plastic link. At Spadel, we are more than ever actively committed to the environment and society through local and sustainable initiatives. We believe that better hydration means being more responsible towards nature. Our new attached caps represent a real environmental benefit. #Sustainability #Environment #Spadel #ResponsibleHydration #AttachedCaps

🇧🇪✨ Retour sur une collaboration belge exceptionnelle pour Pâques : BRU® x la Chocolaterie Galler ! ✨🇧🇪 Saviez-vous que les aliments et les boissons ont une énorme influence sur le goût du chocolat ? En mars, BRU® et Galler, Chocolaterie indépendante se sont unis pour offrir une expérience gustative unique à nos clients pour les fêtes de Pâques.
