Tetra Pak has achieved the highest EcoVadis sustainability rating, earning the prestigious Platinum medal in the globally recognised assessment. This demonstrates the quality of its sustainability management system and commitment to transparency throughout the value chain, placing Tetra Pak among the top 1% of over 130,000 companies assessed1 and representing a major milestone in its sustainability journey.
The rating underscores Tetra Pak’s efforts to integrate sustainability into the core of its business across all four EcoVadis assessment categories: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
This success illustrates Tetra Pak’s purpose: to make food safe and available, everywhere, and to protect what’s good – food, people and the planet. This purpose forms the basis of their sustainability agenda, which focuses 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. 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. Emissions from purchased materials were reduced by 15% compared to the 2019 baseline, driven by improved volume allocation and close collaboration with suppliers through the Join Us in Protecting the Planet initiative.[1]
Beyond the Supplier engagement programme, Tetra Pak launched a new Supplier Code of Conduct, built on 15 fundamental principles and designed to enhance human rights and environmental due diligence efforts in the supply chain.
Lars Holmquist, Executive Vice President, Tetra Pak, comments: “This achievement reflects the determination of everyone at Tetra Pak to drive our sustainability transformation, together with stakeholders across the value chain. 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 value chain.”
