Tetra Pak has been recognized for its leadership in corporate transparency and climate change performance by the global environmental non-profit, Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), securing a spot on its prestigious annual ‘A List.’
CDP, an internationally renowned organization promoting environmental transparency, evaluates data from over 22,000 companies worldwide and ranks them based on their climate disclosures, tangible action and environmental leadership.
Tetra Pak achieved an ‘A’ score in the 2024 climate change assessment, the fourth time in five years, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.
The recognition comes amid growing global concerns over climate change.
The World Meteorological Organization has warned that record-breaking greenhouse gas (GHG) levels are driving extreme weather, rising sea levels and melting ice.
With nearly one-third of global GHG emissions linked to inefficient food systems, Tetra Pak is leveraging its role as a leading food processing and packaging company to drive meaningful change.
As part of its climate action strategy, Tetra Pak aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its entire value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 2050.
By 2023, the company had already reduced its total absolute GHG emissions by 20 per cent compared to its 2019 baseline, cutting emissions from its own operations by 47 per cent, upstream emissions by 21 per cent and downstream emissions by 17 per cent.
Francesca Priora, Vice President of Climate & Nature at Tetra Pak, emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainability beyond packaging.
She highlighted the importance of transparency in environmental action, noting that CDP’s assessments help drive accountability and continuous improvement in sustainability efforts.
In addition to its top ranking for climate change, Tetra Pak also received an ‘A-’ rating in both forest protection and water security, reinforcing its position as an industry leader in environmental responsibility.
CDP also scores companies based on their disclosure of climate, deforestation and water security impacts.
Companies receive ratings from A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of their disclosures, awareness of environmental challenges, management strategies and progress toward sustainability goals.
Those that fail to disclose or provide insufficient data receive an ‘F.’
As CDP continuously refines its scoring criteria to reflect scientific advancements and stakeholder expectations, Tetra Pak’s consistent ranking in the ‘A List’ underscores its ongoing commitment to environmental leadership.
By maintaining transparency and innovation in sustainability, Tetra Pak is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also setting a benchmark for the industry, proving that corporate responsibility and environmental progress go hand in hand.
