Building on a CSR approach formally structured since 2023 around five pillars and rewarded by its progression from an EcoVadisEcoVadisA platform for assessing corporate CSR performance. Its assessment notably covers four themes: environment, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. It assigns a score and may award a medal depending on the result. 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 3Scope 3The category covering other indirect emissions across the value chain, such as purchased goods and services, transport, business travel, subcontracting, capital goods or product end of life. accounting for 92% of its emissions, a renewable energy share limited to 12.17%, responsible purchasingResponsible purchasingA purchasing approach that incorporates environmental, social, ethical and governance criteria, in addition to cost, quality and lead-time considerations, into supplier selection, assessment and engagement. 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 CSDDD), 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 ambition to become a recognized player in the environmental transition within its sector, the 2026-2030 strategy of MATISSART is built around six pillars aligned with the SDGs:
- Sustainable governance and leadership (annual sustainabilitySustainabilityAn organisation’s ability to operate over the long term while balancing economic performance, environmental protection, social considerations and sound governance. Sustainability describes the long-term outcome sought; CSR refers to the management approach through which a company organises its contribution to that outcome. report, maintaining EcoVadis Gold, diversity in recruitment),
- Climate and energy transition (targeting a 30% reduction in Scope 1Scope 1The category covering direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company.+2 emissions, 30% renewable energy, solar panels at the Labourse site),
- Circular economyCircular economyA model aimed at keeping the value of products, equipment, materials and resources in use for as long as possible through durability, maintenance, repair, reuse and recycling. 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 chainValue chainAll activities, stakeholders and flows upstream, within and downstream of a company, from raw-material purchasing through product use and end of life. (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 neutralityClimate neutralityA state in which the net impact of human activities on the climate is zero. At European Union level, this objective is set for 2050. 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, MATISSART focuses her actions on the Sustainable Development Goals where she, 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 improvementContinuous improvementA management principle based on measuring results, identifying gaps, implementing corrective or improvement actions, and regularly reassessing practices. approach.

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 transitionLow-carbon transitionThe progressive transformation of activities, technologies and organisational models in order to achieve substantial greenhouse gas emissions reductions. 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).

- Scope 2Scope 2The category covering indirect emissions associated with the generation of purchased energy consumed by the company, particularly electricity, heat or steam.: 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.

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 RightsHuman rightsFundamental rights recognised for every person, including dignity, non-discrimination, freedom of association, prohibition of forced labour and child labour, and working conditions that protect health and safety., Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.
