Tetra Pak, the global leader in food processing and packaging solutions, has achieved the Platinum Medal from EcoVadis, the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings.
The recognition places Tetra Pak among the top one percent of over 130,000 companies assessed globally – a testament to its deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices.
Executive Vice President, Tetra Pak Global, Lars Holmquist, said, “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.”
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 further 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 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. 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.
This milestone is particularly significant for Tetra Pak West Africa, where the company continues to partner with governments, food producers, and stakeholders across the value chain to advance food safety, reduce environmental impact, and support inclusive, sustainable development.
Tetra Pak is a world-leading food processing and packaging solutions company.
In West Africa, the company partners with food producers to ensure millions of people have access to safe, nutritious food daily. With over 24,000 employees globally and a strong regional presence, Tetra Pak promises to “Protect What’s Good” – food, people, and the planet.
EcoVadis is a globally recognized platform that rates companies’ sustainability practices across more than 220 industries and 180 countries.
The Platinum Medal is the highest distinction awarded, recognizing outstanding performance in corporate sustainability.
