“Aptar is honored to be part of TIME’s inaugural list of the World’s Most Sustainable companies which reflects our transparent data reporting and continued commitment to advancing sustainable practices. As a global company with a presence in 20 countries, a strong, overarching Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) strategy is a business imperative. Our efforts to source more renewable energy, certify more of our sites as landfill free and develop products that are more recyclable, reusable, refillable and made with more sustainable materials not only contributes to better outcomes for people and our planet, but serves as a competitive advantage.”

For this recognition, the ranking process included a selection from over 5,000 of the world’s largest and most influential companies, taking into account factors such as revenue, market capitalization and public prominence. TIME, in partnership with Statista, selected the top 500 companies based on a multi-step process and more than 20 key data points that evaluated Carbon Disclosure Project scores, GRI and SASB reporting, emissions and energy intensity, employee turnover, safety and more.

The company was also named a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader for the fourth consecutive year, placing Aptar among 450 companies based on our 2023 CDP disclosure; cited for its contributions to emissions reductions throughout the value chain.
