Products are at the core of TAKKT’s business model. As a trading company, TAKKT actively shapes a more sustainable portfolio together with its suppliers and creates transparency for customers. This is based on a product classification system established in 2021, which systematically evaluates environmental, social and economic aspects.

In 2025, the share of revenue generated from sustainably rated products remains stable at around 30%. This reflects the continuous development of the portfolio as well as the close collaboration with suppliers to improve data quality and sustainability performance.

The assessment is based on clearly defined criteria: Mandatory minimum requirements are aligned with the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and lead to the exclusion of products in cases of non-compliance. Beyond that, products are evaluated across the categories of circularity, climate impact, biodiversity, economic efficiency and innovation. The assessment is based on both product master data and supplier-specific information, ensuring an objective and transparent evaluation. Products with a score of 3.0 or higher are classified as sustainably rated.

As a next step, TAKKT is further advancing its portfolio: The objective for 2026 is to systematically enrich products of the Industrial & Packaging division with Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs), providing reliable and comparable emissions data. This creates the foundation for informed customer decisions and actively supports the reduction of Scope 3 emissions across the value chain.
