CEO statement
As I look back on 2025, I feel a deep sense of pride in what we have accomplished together with our valued partners. This has been a year of meaningful progress made possible by the dedication of our employees, the confidence of our customers and investors, and the strength of our partnerships. Once again, we saw that strong performance and responsible growth are not separate goals, but part of the same journey. Across our operations in Europe and North America, we continued to support leading brands with the reliability, flexibility, and care they need, while also taking important steps to build a stronger and more sustainable business for the future.
Our work continues to be guided by three priorities that are deeply connected to who we are and how we grow: People, Planet, and Packaging. In 2025, we made real progress in each of these areas. We expanded renewable energy sourcing, reduced electricity consumption in Europe beyond target, advanced waste reduction and recycling efforts, and continued investing in a more inclusive and engaged workforce through leadership development, training, and well-being initiatives. We also strengthened governance, supply chain accountability, and our participation in recognized ESG frameworks. These steps matter because they help us build a company that is not only more resilient and responsible, but also better prepared to serve our stakeholders for the long term.
As we look ahead, I am encouraged by the opportunities in front of us and by what we can achieve together. Our customers are navigating increasingly complex supply chains and changing expectations, and they need partners who can turn ambition into practical results. Our investors expect growth that is thoughtful, disciplined, and built to last. We take both responsibilities seriously. By continuing to invest in customer relationships, productivity, innovation, transparency, and responsible business practices, we are working every day to create lasting value while contributing to a more sustainable future for the industries and communities we serve.
Thank you for the trust you continue to place in Truvant.

Our history
Truvant’s story started in 1994 when Prairie Industries began helping brands with contract packaging and related services in the American Midwest. Over time, the platform expanded its capabilities and footprint to support more complex supply chains.
The Halifax Group invested in Prairie Industries and Nu-Pak, accelerating expansion in contract manufacturing and packaging.
In late 2020, the company acquired Sonoco’s European contract packaging business, established in 2004 in Poland, adding blue-chip FMCG customers and sites in Poland and across Europe.
In June 2021, former organizations united under a single global brand, Truvant, to deliver integrated services across North America and Europe. As the network grew, Truvant established a global headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, strengthening leadership across regions.
Between 2023 and 2025, the Board was strengthened by the appointment of new Directors and strategy was revised and refreshed.
Today Truvant is successfully continuing its contract manufacturing (food and liquids) and packaging operations for many of the world’s leading brands, while advancing sustainability through dedicated ESG programs and initiatives in Europe and the United States.

Individuals employed by Truvant under employment contracts, collaborating under non-employment contracts, or working based on agreements with temporary employment agencies.
Business partners delivering materials, packaging, components, machinery, and services necessary for Truvant to provide packaging services.
Truvant engages with its key stakeholders by regular meetings, satisfaction surveys, audits, the Trunews employee magazine, newsletters or webinars.
Business strategy
Our business strategy is built on four pillars. Open each one to see what it commits us to.
Sustainability strategy
Our ESG journey began in 2021 with the TruGreen Project, an initiative that brought together employees from various departments and locations across Europe. Their ideas, insights, and passion helped us define our mission and lay the foundation for what would become our ESG strategy.
Through this collaborative effort, our teams identified three key pillars that reflect our values and ambitions: People, Planet, and Packaging. These pillars evolved into a structured ESG program that we have been continuously developing across all regions, expanding knowledge, strengthening engagement, and delivering measurable improvements in our performance.
Building on this foundation, we formalized our sustainability strategy, redefining it into three core areas: Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance, fully aligned with our values. The ambitions and goals set within this framework take into account the nature of our services, customer needs, market characteristics, and the expectations of key stakeholders.
By setting ambitious targets in our ESG Strategy, we have committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular:

ESG policy
Truvant Europe’s ESG Policy defines our key ambitions and objectives in the areas of environment, society, and corporate governance. As the primary sustainability framework for our European operations, it sets strategic directions and measurable KPIs to monitor progress, with the intention to apply these principles wherever possible across other regions, including the United States.
Our commitments focus on reducing environmental impact, promoting circularity, and addressing climate change through energy efficiency, renewable energy use, and emissions monitoring. We also prioritize diversity, fair treatment, health and safety, and respect for human rights throughout our value chain. In governance, we uphold the highest ethical standards and actively manage sustainability risks.
This policy reflects our responsibility as an employer, partner, and corporate citizen, driving continuous improvement and collaboration with customers to achieve shared sustainability goals.
EcoVadis plays a crucial role in advancing our policies and practices by providing a comprehensive sustainability assessment that evaluates our environmental, social, and ethical performance. Since 2023, Truvant Europe has been making constant progress year over year, aligning with global sustainability standards, and becoming an even better business partner for our customers.
The CDP rating supports our sustainable development strategy by promoting transparency and accountability in environmental practices. Disclosing data on climate change helps us track and manage our environmental impact, in line with goals such as monitoring and reducing carbon emissions and enhancing resource efficiency. CDP’s data collection enables us to drive continuous improvement, support our customers on their sustainability journey, and contribute to a net-zero future.

Governance structure and sustainability management
Board of Directors
6members at the end of 2025
Truvant’s highest governing body is the Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for setting the company’s strategic direction, overseeing management, and ensuring compliance with legal, ethical, and governance standards. It approves major policies, monitors performance, manages risk, and safeguards stakeholders’ interests. The CEO also serves as Chairman of the Board.
ESG Committee
Composed of the Executive Team, including the Chief Financial Officer, Senior VP Global Operations and Innovation, and Chief Customer and Market Success Officer, supported by the VP of ESG and HR Europe. The committee implements the ESG strategy and translates Board directives into actionable plans.
What the committee does
The Executive Team composition reflects the structure as of June 1, 2026.
Double materiality assessment
The assessment follows the double materiality principle: issues are assessed from both the impact and the financial perspective. Any sustainability issue associated with a significant impact, risk, or opportunity was considered material.
In 2025 and early 2026, we revised the double materiality assessment to include our global operations. In March 2026, we conducted an ESG workshop with the Truvant Europe ESG Team, the Senior Management Team and representatives of U.S. operations.
The goal was to better understand Truvant’s impacts, risks, and opportunities (IRO) across both regions, with a focus on own workforce, water, and consumers and product safety. The discussions resulted in the identification of additional material impacts and risks. The final IRO graphics, covering the material ESG topics for Truvant Europe, Truvant U.S. or global operations, open the Environment, Social and Governance chapters.
