Building on a CSR approach formally structured since 2023 around five pillars and rewarded by its progression from an EcoVadis Bronze medal (2022) to a Gold medal (2025), MATISSART, a specialist in extrusion blow molds since 1990, enters the 2026-2030 period with a solid foundation but clearly identified challenges: Scope 3 accounting for 92% of its emissions, a renewable energy share limited to 12.17%, responsible purchasing covering only 30% of inputs, and no gender diversity in its governance.
Against a backdrop of accelerating European regulation (VS ESRS voluntary standards, the anti-greenwashing directive applicable from September 2026, the PPWR packaging regulation, and due diligence requirements), the company views these obligations as opportunities for differentiation as much as constraints, since its solutions directly contribute to material optimization and to the environmental performance of its customers.
Guided by its unchanged corporate purpose — “Innovative extrusion blow molds designed to contribute to a more efficient use of resources” — and by its ambition to become a recognized player in the environmental transition within its sector, the 2026-2030 strategy is built around six pillars aligned with the SDGs:
- Sustainable governance and leadership (annual sustainability report, maintaining EcoVadis Gold, diversity in recruitment),
- Climate and energy transition (targeting a 30% reduction in Scope 1+2 emissions, 30% renewable energy, solar panels at the Labourse site),
- Circular economy and product innovation (90% of waste recycled or recovered, systematic eco-design, extended mold service life),
- Human capital (zero workplace accidents, 100% of employees trained, 30% of women in recruitment),
- Responsible purchasing and value chain (signing of the RFAR charter in 2026, a 20% reduction in Scope 3, 80% of inputs sourced in Europe)
- and, as a new pillar, Responsible digital innovation (robotization, cybersecurity, responsible use of AI).
Implementation relies on SMART objectives steered by the CSR Committee, a consolidated KPI dashboard for each pillar reviewed annually, and milestones staged through 2030 with a mid-term review in 2028 — all within a trajectory compatible with European climate neutrality by 2050.
The strategy is shared with the company’s entire ecosystem (employees, suppliers, customers, financial partners, and the local community) and is intended to enable MATISSART to structure its contribution to the SDGs, meet reporting requirements, strengthen its overall performance, and turn its commitment into a lasting competitive advantage.
Adherence to the Sustainable Development Goals
Of the 17 priorities adopted by the United Nations, we focus our actions on the Sustainable Development Goals where we, as an SME, can take concrete and measurable action. Progress on these goals is presented in our annual CSR report.
These SDGs, linked to the practices and measures implemented within our company, help us build the future and pursue a continuous improvement approach.
They also convey strong messages.e practices and measures implemented within our company, help us to build the future and to be in a process of continuous improvement. They also convey strong messages.
A continuous improvement approach integrated into our working methods, partnerships and industrial solutions
Matissart, Leading Blow Mold Maker, has initiated its environmental transition by carrying out an assessment of its greenhouse gas emissions (direct and indirect) and by initiating a low-carbon transition approach, thanks to the Diag Décarbon’Action, a system supported by @Bpifrance with @ADEME, @Association Bilan Carbone and @Vizea.
The study covered the implementation of all direct and induced activities at each of the company’s sites, over one full year of operation (Scope 1 to 3).
Greenhouse gas methodology
- Reference year: 2022
- Scope: Scopes 1, 2 and 3
- Methodology: Bilan Carbone® / Diag Décarbon’Action
- Total emissions: 1,263 tCO₂e (uncertainty: 13%)
- Scope 1: 85 tCO₂e
- Scope 2: 22 tCO₂e
- Scope 3: 1,156 tCO₂e
MATISSART aims to reduce its relative greenhouse gas emissions by 4% per year until 2050. This target is based on the Decarbon’Action assessment and is monitored regularly. This trajectory is consistent with the principles of the French Low-Carbon Strategy and international climate objectives. The main reduction opportunities depend on the availability of closer suppliers and lower-carbon industrial equipment while remaining economically viable.
Working together to reduce our climate impact !
A ambition for continuous improvement
Following a Bronze medal in our first assessment in 2022, MATISSART was awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal in 2025, recognising the progress of our sustainability management in the areas of Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
