The group said it achieved “significant results” in climate governance, improved environmental performance, responsible management of people and the supply chain, while also consolidating its European presence through the strategic acquisition of Cartindustria Eurocarta.
Francesco Pasquini, Chief Executive of Lucart, said: “For Lucart, sustainability is not a separate chapter from growth, but the way in which we build long-term industrial competitiveness.
“The year 2025 clearly demonstrates this: we strengthened our European presence, obtained scientific validation of our climate targets, improved our environmental performance and consolidated our commitment to people and the supply chain. In an energy-intensive and complex sector such as paper manufacturing, these results confirm that innovation, responsibility and industrial solidity can move forward together.”
