Published on a voluntary basis, the report is prepared as a Sustainability Statement in accordance with the We Are Europe Mid-Cap Sustainability Reporting Standard, providing a full alignment with VSME and with additional selected elements of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards. It provides a consolidated overview of UNITED CAPS’ sustainability approach, performance, governance framework and key priorities across its operations in Europe and Asia.
From Activity to Accountability
The publication marks an important step in UNITED CAPS’ sustainability journey, moving from individual sustainability initiatives to a more structured and comparable reporting framework. It covers all entities included in the Group’s financial reporting perimeter and reflects UNITED CAPS’ ambition to strengthen transparency, accountability and long-term value creation. This perimeter gives the report Group-level weight, covering operations across Europe and Asia and reflecting 2025 turnover of EUR 181 million and a balance sheet size of EUR 214 million.
In 2025, UNITED CAPS conducted a double materiality assessment, identifying its material impacts, risks and opportunities across areas including climate change, pollution, biodiversity, circular economy, own workforce, consumer and end-user safety, governance, cybersecurity and corruption risk. This assessment provides the foundation for the report’s structure and for future sustainability priorities. The report also sets UNITED CAPS’ progress in the context of external sustainability frameworks and validation. The company is a participant in the United Nations Global Compact, has set SBTi near-term targets aligned with a 1.5°C pathway for Scope 1 and Scope 2, and holds an EcoVadis Bronze Medal.
The Group has also established dedicated governance structures to support accountability. Objectives linked to the Group’s sustainability priorities were also included in Chief Officer targets and cascaded through departments as part of individual incentive frameworks.
“Publishing our first Group Sustainability Report is an important milestone for UNITED CAPS,” said Benoît Henckes, CEO of UNITED CAPS. “It reflects our ambition to move beyond individual initiatives and provide a clearer view of where we stand, where we are making progress and where further work is required. Sustainability is a continuous improvement journey, and this report helps us strengthen accountability across our operations, our value chain and the way we create long-term value for customers, employees, partners and society.”
