Leading labelling and print specialist Vollherbst has been recognised by the sustainability programme FAIR’N GREEN for its role in advancing sustainable value chains, receiving the Carlo Business Award 2026 as “Most Sustainable Value Chain Partner”.
The recognition reflects a broader shift across industries, where the environmental footprint of the value chain is coming under increasing scrutiny.
Matthias Vollherbst, owner of Vollherbst, elaborates on the significance of the award: “Sustainability is not theory – it is practical application. It defines how brands are experienced as tangible objects, through materials, processes and production decisions.”
Labelling and print are among the final acts in the value chain — where product and consumer meet, and where impact happens. It is here that environmental decisions become visible, measurable and directly tied to brand perception. This is the point of brand interaction where Vollherbst operates, and where its efforts have now been recognised by one of the leading sustainability programmes globally.
As a fourth-generation family business with more than 100 years of experience in label production and printing, Vollherbst adds value through deep technical and industry expertise, enabling brands to embed sustainability into the product itself — in ways that are visible, measurable and scalable, and without compromising brand presence or perceived quality.
