SUSTAINABILITY
Packaging with positive impact
Our mission, our vision and our values are the three axes for fulfilling our goal: to provide packaging with the least environmental impact possible.
Our strategy is divided into 4 areas.
Sustainable packaging
Comexi is strongly in favour of reducing the impact of its activity on the environment, by following the line of the market trend, and not only in reducing its own impact, but also the final impact of its products and the end products in the value chain
Therefore, Comexi responds to the market with sustainable technological innovations such as the solvent-free technologies and more energy efficient machines.
Solvent reduction
Solutions like solvent-free laminating or printing with Electron beam inks both in flexography and offset. The work with partners like Gelflex is key to innovating and launching solutions onto the market that help to create monomaterials, which are much more recyclable and solvent-free.
Reduction of energy consumption
Innovations to minimise the cost of the energy that is used in the drying processes in the laminating and printing machines, such as Genius Dry.
Reducing material
Waste and ink usage using solutions that make the job setup as simple and fast as possible allowing for control and a reduction of inks and coatings.
Usage for everyone
Ergonomics, intuitive use, easy accessibility… We design our solutions so that everyone can use them. Reducing the weight of the components facilitates equity in accessing the work and accessibility and intuitive use through screens, which can be operated by people of all abilities.
Packaging eco design
Did you know there is a more circular version of your flexible packaging?
At Comexi we have teamed up with AIMPLAS – Instituto técnico del plástico to create CIRCULAR PACK, a service through which we can help you design, objectively, the most sustainable packaging solution.
To do so, we carry out neutral studies and analyses by combining our knowledge in the study and selection of materials and in the implementation of sustainable and efficient processes. This is the only way we can find the best alternative for you!
This service is something new in the market, but a fair few companies have already placed their trust in it.. One of our latest success stories is BIMBO Mexico.
Packaging circularity
R-Cycle is a Project, with stakeholders from the whole flexible packaging value chain, that creates a Digital Passport for the flexible materials used in packaging. A system that brings traceability to the material to facilitate its reciclability. Do you want to know all about the project? Check this!

People
Diversity is enriching. We work to protect it
and create a safe and inclusive environment for all.
Comexi is fully aware of its responsibilities and commitment to its geographical and social environment. It condemns all forms of discrimination and violence, while contributing to the creation of employment, wealth, and economic development:
Ethical code
The Ethical code is the manifest of the ethical values, principles and rules that prevail in the COMEXI GROUP organisation and, on which the development and growth of the companies within the group is based. At the same time, an Ethics Committee is created, responsible for ensuring compliance with the Code and its implementation. Do you want to know more? Download our ethical code.
Volunteering commission
10 Comexi colleagues make up the volunteering commission. They lead and promote volunteering and co-operation activities with NGOs and other associations to make donations or to work together for fund raising. Some of the associations we work with include La Oncolliga, the Ramon Noguera Foundation, Red Cross, among others.
Transmission of knowledge and talent development
Education holds a vital position for us. And we don’t just say it. Our Ctec (link) is both a space for training our clients, and also a classroom for future generations. Proof of this is the training co-operation between the training cycle and the Santa Eugènia Institute in Girona, where the students do part of their training on our premises, learning with state-of-the-art technology. Also very important are the Manel Xifra Boada awards, which recognise the work and career of professionals and students in the scientific and technological field.
Business culture and HR actions
The COMEXI integrated management system is designed to respond to the indicated commitments, taking as a reference the areas of excellence, sustainability, preventive culture and innovation:
- The client. To ensure the satisfaction of our clients and all the relevant interested parties.
- Safety first. Adapting activities and program development to eliminate hazards or reduce possible risks for people and/or products.
- Continuous improvement. The continuous improvement of the integrated management system as a tool for obtaining greater sustainability, competitive leadership, operational excellence, and to move towards zero accidents at work.
- Compliance. Compliance with the law and applicable rules in each specific area and any aspect of the company, as well as other internal requirements that exist or are subscribed by the organisation.
- Team. Ensuring equal opportunities for all workers, without discrimination against gender, race or religion, promoting their participation and opinion. The professionals and the management activities they carry out follow the criteria of the ethical code, being fair, and applying common sense and humane approaches and using very good communication.
Transparency Our sustainability reports show our strengths and our improvement points.
Our sustainability reports show our strengths and our improvement points.
The reports are carried out using materiality studies, where we base ourselves on prioritising the actions that have the greatest impact for our stakeholders (workers, suppliers and clients) and our business.
They include and detail all the actions carried out in issues on environment, people and governance.
