- EnvironmentClimate change, resulting from anthropogenic factors, is currently one of the most pressing environmental problems and challenges of the modern world.
Looking after our planet and its resources is our primary concern. With this in mind, we are doing everything we can to optimise our processes, measure our environmental impact and implement proactive solutions.


We have developed our ESG Agenda 2030 strategy. Its goal is to support the development of the Velvet CARE Group through responsible management, informed decision-making and building long-term organizational value. Key initiatives in this area include improving energy efficiency, responsible water management and the use of sustainable raw materials.
Carbon Footprint

The carbon footprint is the most important and measurable aspect of a company’s environmental performance. In terms of us, measuring it is one of the activities that we conduct on an ongoing basis and draw conclusions from.
Velvet CARE has been taking numerous initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. The first basic one was to equip the TM7 paper machine built in 2018 with a gas boiler located near the steam collection point; it allowed to reduce the amount of gas needed to produce it to the minimum. In 2018, the company replaced a coal-fired boiler room with a gas-fired boiler room at the “old” TM6 paper machine.
Within these efforts, the MP8 paper machine, built in 2021, was equipped with a modern gas boiler.
We also consistently implement our decarbonization and energy efficiency strategy. Our newest MP9 paper machine – like its predecessors – is a modern and energy-efficient system, utilizing advanced technological solutions to reduce raw material consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Certified forests
As a company which is conscious of its impact and responsibilities, Velvet CARE uses only certified and renewable raw materials (forests must be renewable and managed responsibly).
In consequence, the company has been awarded the following certificates:
FSC® (C119667) and PEFC (PEFC/32-31-086).
