Aptar Recognized with Prestigious ‘A’ Score on the CDP Climate Change Assessment

AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE: ATR), a global leader in drug delivery, consumer product dispensing and active packaging solutions, has been recognized for its leadership in corporate sustainability by the global environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its prestigious ‘A List’ for tackling climate change.

Aptar was recognized for its actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and further the low-carbon economy, based on the data reported by the Company through CDP’s 2020 climate change questionnaire. Aptar is one of a small number of high-performing companies out of 5,800+ that were scored. Through significant demonstrable action on climate, Aptar is leading on corporate environmental ambition, action and transparency worldwide.

“We are extremely proud to be recognized by the CDP as a leader in corporate sustainability. Our actions that further a low-carbon economy, and the products and solutions we provide, play an important role in everyday life for patients and consumers around the world,” said Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar President and CEO. “As we manage our company for the long-term, we will continue to focus on reducing climate risks and advancing ever more sustainable solutions.”

Earlier this year, Aptar formalized its science-based targets setting an emissions reduction goal consistent with requirements to keep global warming well below 2° Celsius by year 2030 and these targets were validated by the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). The Company also improved its risk and opportunities disclosures in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). In addition, Aptar received the ISO 14046 certification, assuring the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in all scopes, especially as it increased renewable electricity purchases.

“Making the CDP A List is a testament to the outstanding collaboration from our teams around the world who have improved our carbon emissions scores year-over-year with these and other initiatives, and are working to establish a net-zero energy strategy as a next milestone along our sustainability journey,” said Beth Holland, Vice President, Sustainability.

CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. In 2020, over 515 investors with over US $106 trillion in assets under management and more than 150 major purchasers with US $4 trillion in procurement spend requested companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP’s platform. Over 9,600 responded – the highest level ever.

Two Sides North America Launches “Love Paper” Campaign

Two Sides North America today announced the launch of Love Paper, a new campaign designed to raise consumer awareness of the unique and inherently sustainable characteristics of print, paper and paper-based packaging. The centerpiece of the campaign is a consumer-friendly website, lovepaperna.org, where the click of a mouse reveals surprising facts about how print and paper products contribute to a sustainable future for us all. “As consumers become increasingly concerned about the environmental impacts of the publications they read, the products they buy and the packaging those products come in, they need factual, science-based information to make informed purchasing decisions,” says Two Sides North America President Phil Riebel. “But all too often, they have little more than unsubstantiated marketing claims like ‘go green, go paperless’ or ‘going paperless saves trees’ to guide them. We created the Love Paper campaign to make it easy for anyone to get verifiable facts about the sustainability of print and paper products from a wide variety of trusted sources.”
