Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) has been high on the agenda in the manufacturing industry in recent years, and thus also at Lamifil. Questions from stakeholders and legal obligations such as the CSRD have inspired the company to develop an ESG strategy and roadmap focusing on its biggest impacts, risks and opportunities. As copper and aluminium are important materials for the company, topics related to critical raw materials and reliable supply chain partners were obvious. Given its close ties to the energy sector, other questions also presented themselves: What does the energy transition mean for a player like Lamifil? How does Lamifil position itself concerning its own CO2 emissions? How can it play its role as a driver of the green transition? Based on extensive research into those questions, combined with a thorough stakeholder analysis, Pantarein further developed the ESG strategy together with Lamifil’s management.

In 2023, we started the double materiality analysis and wrote Lamifil’s ESG report, which was integrated – together with the financial results – into the Annual Report for the first time. From the beginning of our collaboration, a major emphasis was placed on the carbon footprint. The first step was to calculate scope 1 and 2 emissions, a challenging task for such a large manufacturer. Because Lamifil requires high temperatures to melt metals, the share of natural gas in the company’s emissions is significant.

With its products, the company supports the global energy transition and helps reduc across various sectors. We integrated these opportunities into theESG roadmap, aptly named: ‘Connecting with the Future, Each Other, OurEnvironment and Our Customers’.
