TETRA PAK LAUNCHES 25TH SUSTAINABILITY REPORT SHOWING COMPANY IS ON TRACK TO MEET ITS 2030 NET ZERO GHG EMISSIONS TARGET
Denton, Texas (June 5, 2024) - Today, Tetra Pak launches its 25th Sustainability Report, which tracks the progress the company has made against its global sustainability agenda. It focuses on five interdependent areas: food systems, circularity, climate, nature and social sustainability.
Launching on the United Nation’s World Environment Day, June 5, the company’s Sustainability Report FY23[1] shows a 20% reduction in value chain[2] GHG emissions and a 47% reduction in GHG emissions across its own operations since 2019. The latter puts Tetra Pak on track to meet its target of net-zero GHG emissions in its own operations by 2030[3] and supports the company’s long-term ambition to work together with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050.[4]
Accompanying the organization’s global report is a supplement highlighting achievements in the U.S. and Canada during the same time period.
A sampling of achievements featured in the supplement include:
- Expansion of the Denton, Texas, Technical Training Center to provide hands-on training for Tetra Pak employees and customers to improve operational efficiencies while minimizing downtime and production waste at customer sites
- 330% year-over-year increase in packs delivered with plant-based plastics in the U.S. and Canada
- Elevating the importance of sustainable food systems during a featured panel and pop-up experience at the 2024 Fast Company Grill at SXSW
