Gender Diversity
We take pride in having a balanced gender distribution with 46% female and 54% male colleagues in our global network. The aim of gender equality in the workplace is to provide equal opportunities and outcomes for everyone, irrespective of their gender.

Health & Safety
With over 4,000 people, the safety of the employees is the most severe element to consider at FPS Flexible Packaging Solutions. No operation is more important than the safety and health of our colleagues, therefore there is a priority in all FPS workplaces to ensure this.
- Each facility holds an annual Safety Week intending to raise safety awareness. All production employees in FPS receive safety training, ensuring our safety culture is understood and practised daily.
- We aim to reach a Medical Case Rate of Zero in all facilities by 2025.
- Ensuring safety also applies to our colleagues working in the offices; despite the perception that their roles might not involve physical hazards. Our colleagues are obliged to participate in training about fire safety, and cybersecurity, and are encouraged to pay attention to their mental health.
- To consistently highlight the importance of safety, every large team meeting is commenced with a safety minute, focusing on one important element of daily safety measures.
Employee Satisfaction
- Our company’s greatest assets are our people – but in reality, this is only valid for the colleagues who are engaged. Our colleagues cooperate to improve the company and are committed to their work, they drive our innovation and move the company forward.
- Measured via the Gallup engagement score, engagement percentages for FPS are consistently improving. We take great pride in that overall employee engagement was at 89% manufacturing percentile in 2021 with 98% of colleagues participating in the survey.
