Navigator strengthens its commitment to a sustainable future with ESG projects worth 164 million euros

The Navigator Company reaffirms its commitment to promoting efficiency in the use of resources with sustainable investments which, over the last 18 months, have totalled around 164 million euros, around 60% of the total amount allocated.

The investment mainly includes projects aimed at decarbonisation, modernising equipment and improving efficiency. These include the new Recovery Boiler in Setúbal – which will reduce direct fossil carbon dioxide emissions by around 136,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to a quarter of the Group’s emissions in 2022; the new Tower and Washing Presses in Aveiro; the new biomass Lime Kiln in Figueira da Foz; the conversion of the Lime Kiln in Setúbal to burn biomass; and the new Photovoltaic Plant in Figueira da Foz.

In addition, the company has invested in sustainable packaging solutions. After launching a new line of packaging products at the end of 2021 under the gKraft™ brand, the company aims to develop innovative packaging solutions that replace current fossil-based plastic packaging with renewable, biodegradable, recyclable and carbon-neutral products based on endogenous raw materials from planted forests.
