Our circular-economy business model

RDM Group’s business model is built upon the principles of the circular economy, focusing on regenerative resources and circulating materials.

We manufacture renewable, recyclable, and recycled cartonboard products.

 

Our commitment to the responsible management of resources extends throughout the entire value chain, promoting responsible consumption models within the communities in which we operate.

 

Our business model is built on circular principles to replace a system of wasted resources with a cycle of regenerative resources and circulating materials.

 

We demonstrate these efforts through initiatives and actions we have implemented in recent years, which are aligned with our long-term ESG goals.

An inclusive and supportive workplace

We firmly believe that the contribution of all our people is essential to compete in a rapidly changing business environment.

Therefore, we value the diverse skills and qualities of our employees. We are dedicated to cultivating an inclusive and supportive workplace where every individual can grow with a long-term perspective. Our goal is to help each person develop the key know-how necessary to continuously improve the Group’s ability to innovate. This enables us to provide high-quality products and services with industry-leading processes.

 

 

People Development

 

Creating lasting value is impossible without the key contribution of our personnel in mills, sheeting centers, and offices. We provide specific programs for the acquisition of new skills to ensure the strategic development of the Group and to enhance the potential of individuals. Working at RDM Group means being part of a long-term industrial project, where there are opportunities for growth within the company over time.

We have implemented mentoring programs and development plans to transfer skills and know-how from senior to junior employees, fostering the ingenuity that underpins the quality of our products. Additionally,  our employees area involved in career path assuring professional growth through assignment to roles operating in the various production stages that enable them to acquire knowledge and experience, ultimately with the opportunity growing into well-rounded managers.

 

 

 

Diversity & equal opportunities

 

At RDM Group, fairness and respect are embedded in our corporate culture, not just buzzwords. By embedding fairness, respect, and the promotion of equal opportunities into our corporate culture, RDM Group creates an inclusive environment where all employees can thrive based on their skills and contributions. We do not tolerate discrimination based on gender, age, religion, nationality or any other personal characteristic. We are dedicated to ensuring equal opportunities in all areas, including hiring, employee development, and management, to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

 

In the cartonboard industry traditionally characterized by a predominantly male workforce, our HR team is actively working towards creating a more inclusive workforce.

 

 

Multiculturalism

 

Cultural differences, especially for a company operating across multiple countries with diverse languages, traditions, and socio-cultural norms, sometimes lead to unintentional misunderstandings. We aim to create a positive and cooperative work environment where inclusion is seen as an asset. We encourage dialogue and understanding to create a positive work environment of cooperation. To support this process have established policies and tools to facilitate collaboration and leverage the valuable aspects of each culture.

 

 

Health & Safety

 

By setting a zero-accident goal and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration, we ensure the safety and well-being of all our employees. Our integrated approach to safety, supported by ongoing training and proactive safety programs like BBS (Behavioral-Based Safety), underscores our commitment to creating a safe and healthy workplace for everyone.
