Tetra Pak has achieved the highest EcoVadis sustainability rating, earning the distinguished Platinum medal in this globally recognized assessment. This accomplishment exemplifies the quality of Tetra Pak’s sustainability management system and its unwavering commitment to transparency across the entire value chain. As a result, Tetra Pak now ranks among the top 1% of over 130,000 assessed companies1, marking a significant milestone in its sustainability journey within the food and drink packaging industry.
This prestigious rating highlights Tetra Pak’s continuous efforts to embed sustainability into its core business strategy across all four EcoVadis assessment categories: environment, labor and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement.
The achievement reflects Tetra Pak’s mission: to ensure food safety and availability everywhere and to protect what is valuable—food, people, and the planet. This mission informs their sustainability agenda, which focuses on five interconnected areas: food systems, climate, nature, circularity, and social sustainability. By adopting a whole value chain approach, the company collaborates closely with suppliers, customers, and stakeholders to integrate sustainability into every aspect of its operations. In 2024, Tetra Pak established a dedicated Sustainability Excellence team, enhancing capabilities in processes, systems, data, and personnel, thereby embedding sustainability further into daily operations.
A key factor behind this success was the emphasis on transparency and robust cross-functional collaboration. For instance, in 2024, Tetra Pak’s supplier engagement program, Join Us in Protecting the Planet, enabled 29 suppliers to set validated science-based climate targets. As a result, emissions from purchased materials decreased by 15% compared to the 2019 baseline, driven by improved volume allocation and close cooperation with suppliers through this initiative.[1]
In addition to its supplier engagement program, Tetra Pak launched a new Supplier Code of Conduct. This code, built on 15 fundamental principles, is designed to reinforce human rights and promote environmental due diligence within the supply chain.
Lars Holmquist, Executive Vice President, Tetra Pak, states: “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.”
