Tetra Pak has been recognised for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change by global environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its annual ‘A List’.
As part of its climate change mitigation strategy, Tetra Pak is working with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across scopes 1, 2, and 3 by 2050 across its value chain. As of 2023, the company reduced the total absolute GHG emissions across the full value chain by 20% compared with a 2019 baseline. Over the same period, it reduced emissions from its own operations by 47%, as well as upstream emissions by 21% and downstream emissions4 by 17%.
Francesca Priora, Vice President Climate & Nature, Tetra Pak, said, “Food processing and packaging play a vital role in transforming global food systems. For over 70 years, our technology has helped provide food access, reduce food waste, enhance food safety, and extend shelf life – even in the most remote areas. But our work doesn’t stop there; we are steadfast in our commitment to driving down carbon emissions and reducing environmental impact. As a leader in our industry, we have a unique opportunity to influence and support stakeholders across the value chain. This is why the transparency promoted by CDP is so essential. Our commitment to reducing environmental impact is deeply intertwined with our goals in climate action, circularity, social sustainability, and food systems. We are proud to be recognised on the CDP A List once again and look forward to continuing this journey.”
The company also reported on forests and, for the second year, water security. Recording an ‘A-‘ score in both categories cemented Tetra Pak’s inclusion in the CDP leadership band once again.
