Our newly published report tracks the progress we have made towards our sustainability agenda, focusing on five interdependent areas: food systems, circularity, climate, nature and social sustainability. It shows a 20% reduction in value chain¹ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a 47% reduction in operational GHG emissions² since 2019. The latter puts Tetra Pak on track to meet its target of net-zero GHG emissions in its own operations by 2030³ and supports the company’s long-term ambition to work together with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders and achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050.⁴
Another major milestone in 2023 was the launch of an aseptic beverage carton featuring a paper-based barrier, reducing the carbon footprint by a third (33%)⁵ and bringing us one step closer to developing the world’s most sustainable food package.⁶ This world-first was a result of a €100 million investment in packaging research and development in 2023, with the same investment planned annually over the next five to ten years.
President & CEO Adolfo Orive says: “Collaboration across the food industry is ever more important to feed a growing population sustainably. Our global presence and end-to-end solutions give us opportunities every day to collaborate with stakeholders across the value chain, from farmers and food producers, to suppliers, policymakers, consumers and others. We understand the responsibility that comes with this role. We remain committed to playing our part to transform the world’s food systems, to ensure they are more secure, resilient and sustainable.”
