Tetra Pak has been recognised for leadership in corporate sustainability by global environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its prestigious ‘A List’ for the third year running for tackling climate change, as well as acting to protect forests – two of the three environmental themes covered by CDP. With this accolade, Tetra Pak cements its position as the only company in the carton packaging sector to be included in the CDP leadership band for six years in a row.
Lars Holmquist, Executive Vice President – Sustainability & Communications, Tetra Pak, said, “We believe that decarbonising the food sector is vital in the race to net zero, and a key enabler for this ambitious goal is being transparent in our own actions. We’re delighted to be included in the CDP leadership band for the sixth time, as it recognises we are taking the right steps on combatting climate change and minimising deforestation risks. Last year we pledged to reach net-zero GHG emissions in our own operations by 2030 while setting ourselves a net-zero ambition across the value chain by 2050. Our revised SBTi-approved target across all scopes 1, 2 & 3 means – amongst other things – reaching 46% GHG reduction across value chain by 2030, in line with a 1.5°C pathway. This is what the latest climate science has told us is needed to prevent the most damaging effects of climate change, and we are fully committed to play our part.”
