Swedish food packaging multinational, Tetra Pak, has been recognised for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change. In the latest disclosures, Tetra Pak achieved an ‘A’ score, for the fourth time in five years, reflecting the firm’s compliance in promoting environmental transparency.

“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,” said Francesca Priora, Vice President Climate and Nature, Tetra Pak.

He added, “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.”

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a global non-profit that assesses data from over 22,000 companies, ranking them on their transparency, action and environmental leadership. CDP promotes environmental transparency by encouraging organisations to disclose their environmental impact.

As part of its climate change mitigation strategy, Tetra Pak says it is working with 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 percent compared with a 2019 baseline. Over the same period, it reduced emissions from its own operations by 47 percent, as well as upstream emissions by 21 percent and downstream emissions by 17 percent.

“Food processing and packaging plays 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,” added Francesca Priora.
