Tetra Pak has been recognised for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change and forests by global environmental non-profit CDP<\/a>, securing a place on its prestigious \u2018A List\u2019 for the fourth year running.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tetra Pak is one of a handful of players that achieved a double \u2018A\u2019, out of nearly 15,000 companies that were scored based on data submitted through CDP\u2019s 2022 Climate Change and Forests questionnaires.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDP\u2019s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. In 2022, over 680 investors with over US$130 trillion in assets and 280 major purchasers with US$6.4 trillion in procurement spend requested companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP\u2019s platform. A record-breaking 18,700 companies responded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies, allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets. Those that don\u2019t disclose or provided insufficient information are scored an F. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDP\u2019s scoring for forests is conducted through the lens of four commodities: timber, cattle products, soy, and palm oil. Companies need to score an A on at least one of these forest-risk commodities to earn a place on the Forests A List. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilles Tisserand, Vice President Climate & Biodiversity, Tetra Pak, <\/strong>said:<\/strong> \u201cWith food systems responsible for about a third of global GHG emissions, global players like us must collaborate across the value chain to accelerate action. That\u2019s why we are extremely pleased to be included in CDP \u2018A List\u2019 for the fourth year running, as it recognises that we are taking the right steps on combatting climate change and minimising deforestation risks.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s world, decoupling climate impact and economic growth is becoming increasingly challenging, whilst corporate transparency is more and more seen as the \u2018make it or break it\u2019 for business success \u2013 and rightfully so. We recognise the long journey ahead, but future proofing our business to be aligned with a 1.5\u00b0C pathway is essential, and we are fully committed to play our part.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The double \u2018A\u2019 score highlights Tetra Pak\u2019s longstanding commitment to environmental action. For example, the company reduced operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 36%1<\/sup> in 2021, with 80% of electricity coming from renewable sources, while accelerating work with the 44 raw materials suppliers that are part of its \u201cJoin Us in Protecting the Planet\u201d initiative. As part of the \u201820 actions for 2030\u2019 as detailed by the programme, the prioritised one for them is to cut their carbon footprint by 50% by 20302<\/sup>. As a further demonstration of how collaboration is critical to address global warming, in early 2022 Tetra Pak launched an industry-first land restoration initiative in Brazil, joining forces with local NGO Apremavi. The aim is to restore up to 7,000 hectares of the Atlantic Forest by 2030 for biodiversity recovery, carbon removal and climate change mitigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, in August 2022, Tetra Pak\u2019s target to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050 has been approved by Science Based Target initiative (SBTi)3<\/sup> under its Corporate Net-Zero Standard4<\/sup>. For the company, this means a 46% reduction of absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by 2030, and a 90% reduction across the same set of scopes by 2050. Looking\u202fahead, Tetra Pak has set\u202fadditional\u202fambitious\u202fcommitments, such as\u202fhalving food waste, water consumption and carbon footprint of its best practice processing lines by 20305<\/sup>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dexter Galvin, Global Director of Corporations and Supply Chains at CDP <\/strong>said:<\/strong> \u201cCongratulations to all the companies on this year\u2019s A List; environmental transparency is the first vital step towards a net-zero and nature-positive future. In a year of ever-increasing environmental concerns around the world \u2013 from extreme weather to unprecedented losses to nature \u2013 the need for transformational, urgent and collaborative change is more critical than ever. We must decarbonize half of global GHG emissions and eliminate deforestation by 2030, alongside achieving water security on the same timescale \u2013 there is no route to 1.5\u00b0C without nature. As CDP continues to raise the bar on what qualifies as climate, forests and water leadership, we hope to see the ambitions and actions of companies on the A List \u2013 and those wanting a place on it \u2013 do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
