Questions? We love giving answers.

Why do I need to start with Pickler now?

The upcoming EU law on green washing will prohibit green claims that are not backed up by good evidence. ESG Reporting legislation (CSRD) requires annual improvement in input data. Since we see that raw supplier data is not widely available across the packaging industry, it can easily take 6-12 months to get high quality data from your supplier. Pickler helps you start already in an efficient manner to collect the right amount of data and help you to fill in the blanks in the meantime with market average impact data. Front runners already start requesting reliable footprint data from their suppliers, since they know it can take some time.

What is Pickler's mission?

99% of the packaging industry sells and makes environmental decisions based on gut feelings instead of credible emission data. Even though ESG reporting legislation and anti-greenwashing demands (B2B and B2C) increase every month. Pickler's mission is to help the packaging industry reduce 100 million tons of CO2-eq in 2025. We do so, by enabling packaging suppliers and buyers to make informed environmental decisions about packaging - based on transparant, up-to-date environmental impact data. Because without credible emission data, it is impossible to report and know where to focus our efforts to reduce emissions.

Making Pickler a trusted partner to reach your own- as well as support your customers' impact reduction targets over time.
