SWITZERLAND | Tetra Pak has achieved the highest possible EcoVadis sustainability rating, earning the prestigious Platinum medal in the globally recognised assessment.
This reflects its sustainability performance and progress during 2024, placing Tetra Pak among the top one percent of over 130,000 companies assessed and representing a major milestone in its sustainability journey.
The company's overall score rose to 84 out of 100, a 10-point increase from the previous year. This reflects the way Tetra Pak has integrated sustainability into the core of its business model, showing a strong commitment to transparency across all four EcoVadis assessment categories: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
This result is a reflection of Tetra Pak’s purpose: to make food safe and available, everywhere, and to protect what’s good – food, people and the planet.
Translating this into a focus on five interconnected areas - food systems, climate, nature, circularity and social sustainability - the company takes a whole value chain approach to sustainability, working closely with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to embed it into every part of its business.
In 2024, this included the formation of a dedicated Sustainability Excellence team, building capabilities in processes, systems, data and people, and integrating sustainability more fully into daily operations.
A key driver of the result was the identification of opportunities to deepen transparency and a strong cross-functional collaboration to drive sustainability throughout the value chain.
For example, in 2024, Tetra Pak’s supplier engagement programme, Join Us in Protecting the Planet, supported 29 suppliers to set validated science-based climate targets.
The programme also includes a new Supplier Code of Business Conduct, which outlines specific requirements related to due diligence, biodiversity and responsible sourcing.
Emissions from purchased materials were reduced by 15 percent compared to the 2019 baseline, driven by improved volume allocation and close collaboration with suppliers through the Join Us in Protecting the Planet initiative.
“This achievement reflects the determination of everyone at Tetra Pak to drive our sustainability transformation, together with stakeholders across the value chain,” said Lars Holmquist, Executive Vice President, Tetra Pak.
“The resulting Platinum EcoVadis rating demonstrates our shared passion for continuous improvement and commitment to embedding long-term sustainability across every part of our operations and supply chain.”
