Tetra Pak on the Supplier Climate A List by CDP​

Tetra Pak has ​today (Monday 29th January)​ been named on the CDP Supplier Climate A list for the second time, as well as being announced as a CDP Forests A list in December, also for the second time. We have been reporting to the CDP Supplier Climate programme since 2009 and to the Forests programme since it was first established in 2015. Reporting to CDP highlights Tetra Pak’s commitment to transparency and measurement of its sustainability positioning.

In the Supplier Climate programme Tetra Pak has been recognised for implementing a range of actions to mitigate climate change by receiving an A score. Only 2% of companies participating to the programme achieved an A score.

The factors that have enabled us to achieve this are:
•Transparency and quality of disclosure
•Emissions inventory validated by a third party
•Approved Science Based Targets
•Use of internal price for carbon
•Highest responsibility for climate change lies with the Tetra Pak board

Mario Abreu, Vice President Environment Tetra Pak, adds: “Sustainability is an integral part of the business decisions we make and the actions we take. That’s why we’re proud that ​Tetra Pak was one of only six companies to make the CDP Forests A-list, for the second year in a row, and now also the Supplier Climate A-list. Across the company, we understand the tangible business benefits of disclosing our activities to our customers and third parties. Among other things it helps us measure and improve on our performance across the whole value chain.”​

No Added PFAS Puts Pregis Flexibles Ahead of Environmental Legislation

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is likely to publish a final ruling in January 2023, requiring manufacturers (including importers) to report information on PFAS manufactured or imported since Jan. 1, 2011. If the rule is finalized as proposed, manufacturers will have to report use of any materials with PFAS and stop using new products containing intentionally added PFAS. Anticipating these and future legislative limits regarding PFAS, Pregis implemented processes in its high-performance blown film operations to ensure they eliminated PFAS from incoming materials and do not include within the manufacturing process. Pregis Performance Flexibles customers can be confident that our film solutions have no added PFAS, meeting new legislative standards.
