2025
In 2025, we publishing our first Sustainability Statement aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), covering reporting year 2024, based on our Double Materiality Assessment and released voluntarily basis.
2026
As part of this journey, Nactarome became a signatory to the IFRA–IOFI Sustainability Charter, reaffirming our commitment to responsible business practices and continuous improvement across our value chain.
In 2026, we published our FY2025 Sustainability Statement. This report marks a further maturity step in Nactarome’s sustainability journey, with an expanded reporting perimeter, improved Group-level data collection, and the first calculation of Nactarome’s Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.
