OUR CORPORATE

COMPASS

Our Corporate Compass forms the foundation of SIG and its future development. It puts the needs of customers and consumers first, and ensures we move closer towards our dream – to see every consumer in the world with an SIG pack in their hand, and a smile on their face, every single day.

Our dream is central to everything we do. It’s a vision of our products being accessible to everyone and everywhere. And our aspiration is for consumers to be assured that our

packages offer a great way to enjoy safe, healthy and great­tasting food and beverages.

Our dream goes hand in hand with our purpose. It’s therefore vital that we build meaningful relationships with our customers to truly understand their challenges and help them deliver great products in a safe, sustainable and affordable way.

The strategy to drive us forward

Responsibility to society and the environment is at the heart of our business strategy – in the way we run our company, source our raw materials, make our products and define our ambitions. And most importantly, in the way we help our customers to be more sustainable.

Our overarching ambition is to be net positive by contributing more to society and the environment than we take out – across our value chain. We call it going

Way Beyond Good. For natural resources, climate change, and for people and communities around the world.

It’s an initiative that helps our customers to source and partner responsibly, reduce the impact along the product lifecycle, minimise waste in their factories, gain smarter packaging solutions and increase recycling.

Creating a net positive future

GOING WAY BEYOND GOOD

A NEW ERA OF

DEMANDS

Global changes are reinventing the way we live and work. Digitalisation, urbanisation, a growing middle class and faster, more on­the­go lifestyles are just some of the megatrends dramatically impacting the food and beverage industry.

These global trends are revealing new opportunities in both developed and emerging markets. And together with SIG, you can be ready for the challenges and possibilities that lie ahead.

CONSUMPTION PATTERNS ARE CHANGING FASTToday’s consumers demand more from the products they buy – they want convenient packaging solutions that are easy to use, enhance their experience and reduce their impact on the environment. Producers are striving to keep pace with these ever­changing needs to create more innovative, sustainable and differentiated products.

INDUSTRY 4.0 IS TRANSFORMING PRODUCTION As filling plants operate on an unprecedented scale, producers are facing higher competitive pressures, decreasing profit margins, filling line complexity and ever­shorter production cycles. A new era of food and beverage packaging therefore demands smarter factory solutions that can utilise intelligence across the entire line.

CONSUMERS WANT MORE ENGAGEMENT & TRANSPARENCYAs the world becomes more connected, businesses are striving to understand and engage with digital consumers while securing supply chain transparency. Consumers are demanding more transparency, information and communication, driving a need for more efficient traceability solutions and creative digital marketing.

The global changes impacting the food and beverage industry

To help our customers overcome today’s industry challenges and seize future opportunities, we have created a customer­focused promise that captures the essence of SIG and our capabilities: “Excellence – Engineered. Solutions – Delivered.”

Our dedication to understanding customers’ needs goes beyond products and technology. We solve customers’ problems and offer new

possibilities through an intelligent, holistic overview of their business needs. This ensures we consistently provide end­to­end solutions that add real value – now and in the future.

With our promise, SIG is setting out into a new era of food and beverage packaging – ready to partner with customers and open up new opportunities for performing better and growing faster.

Our promise to solve every challenge

PACKS THAT PROTECTIt all starts with our unique lightweight packaging material, featuring up to seven protective layers that prevent light and air affecting a pack’s contents. This protective material comes in a range of barriers and structures to match different product types and consumer segments.

To create this material, it takes a lot of specialised processes, including coating, colour printing, creasing and cutting to produce preformed, ready­to­fill carton sleeves. These sleeves are easy to feed into SIG filling machines producing up to 24,000 packs an hour and are supported by more than 270 package options for formats, volumes and openings.

ASEPTIC TECHNOLOGYOur engineering expertise continues at the construction, installation and running of automated filling machines using aseptic technology. The aseptic process is one of the safest ways to package liquid food and beverages. It helps retain nutrients, flavours and colours, and results in a product with a shelf life of up to 12 months without refrigeration.

Our combination of aseptic technology and carton sleeves enables unbeatable change­over times for format, volume and design, and unique filling capabilities. This means customers can meet today’s product needs and quickly react to changing demands and trends, such as plant­based milks, yoghurt snacks with real fruit, breakfast drinks with cereal grains, and smoothie soups.

GLOBAL SERVICETo ensure each filling line runs like clockwork, we utilise a technical service network of more than 550 field service engineers with a range of flexible services designed to prepare, run and optimise filling operations.

Our services include everything from remote and digital services to customised agreements that get the best possible performance out of every line. This means customers can realise the full potential of their plants and focus on giving consumers the best possible product.

One promise.Unlimited solutions.

To help food and beverage producers meet increasing industry demands, SIG has created three value­adding segments that speak to the core challenges and opportunities of our customers. They are all part of what we call our Value Proposition.

SIG’s Value Proposition is a dedicated framework for adding value to customers and consumers. It expresses who we are as a company, outlines our core capabilities and demonstrates our solution­driven approach to seizing current and future opportunities.

Our three, main value­adding segments are Product Innovation & Differentiation, Smart Factory and Connected Pack. Each of these is supported by our unique portfolio of carton packages, filling technology and services. With these clearly­defined value segments representing distinct themes within the food and beverage industry, we are well placed to help businesses realise opportunities for performing better and growing faster in an ever­changing market.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD & BEVERAGE

FILLING

At SIG, we’re continually innovating our systems to deliver smarter filling line solutions and technical services that perfectly match our customers’ needs. Using IoT­enabled systems, data and automation, together with our production engineering know­how, we can transform filling plants into intelligent, connected factories that ensure the highest efficiency, flexibility and quality.

Our experience in projecting and implementing complete packaging lines means we provide everything from single­system solutions and optimised upgrade solutions to complete turnkey solutions for fully­conceived plants.

Single­system solutions help you get the most out of your individual filling lines. Upgrading one or more existing filling lines means unlocking their hidden potential. And for complete end­to­end plants, we conceptualise,

design and engineer a smart factory solution that’s intelligent, automated and fully integrated.

Using new digital technologies and unique track­and­trace solutions, SIG can deliver 100% connectivity and traceability for every single pack. With more traceability, you can have greater insight and control over your entire supply chain – from source to shelf.

Our interactive packaging and on­pack digital communication is helping producers win the hearts and minds of today’s consumer. This means delivering digital engagement and transparency for every pack – with interactive features such as augmented reality and smarter track­and­trace data that improve brand recognition and provide quality assurance.

Our unique on­pack QR codes, for example, allow consumers to view all relevant product

information on their smartphone, and also create more possibilities for digital marketing activities.
