Aptar recognizes that caring for the environment means reducing climate emissions. Aptar has set formalized science-based targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reductions that are in line with requirements to keep global warming at 1.5° Celsius by 2030. In addition, the Company has a renewable electricity target, as well as a Scope 3 target. The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) has validated Aptar’s targets for emissions reduction and sustainability. The Company also improved its risk and opportunities disclosures in accordance with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). In addition, Aptar received the ISO 14046 certification, assuring the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in all scopes, especially as it increased renewable electricity purchases. Aptar has signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) in Europe and the US to provide more localized sources of renewable energy dedicated to Aptar.
“It is encouraging that Aptar’s progress is recognized by CDP, especially given our ever-changing global environment. As companies across the globe aim to become more transparent, we believe it is important to share our progress with the world and reduce our carbon emissions year-over-year. This is why our focus at Aptar has been on continuous improvement and collaborating with our teams around the world as we make the next steps on our journey.”
Beth Holland, Chief Sustainability Officer, Aptar
CDP uses a detailed and independent methodology to assess companies, assigning a score from A to D-. The evaluation considers disclosure comprehensiveness, awareness, and management of environmental risks. It also recognizes companies that demonstrate best practices in environmental leadership by setting ambitious and meaningful targets. CDP disclosure and the A List rankings help organizations on their journey of continuous improvement. CDP, in collaboration with other leading frameworks, set the bar on what qualifies as environmental leadership and increased transparency in line with emerging science, stakeholder feedback, and market needs.
“As the founder of environmental reporting, CDP is dedicated to building a world where people, planet and profit are truly balanced. We greatly appreciate the support of Aptar in our efforts to continue pioneering transparency, powering corporate environmental action. Transparency drives action at all levels…. Disclosure is far more than a box to tick. It’s a tool to see clearly, act decisively and create change.”
Paul Simpson, Chief Delivery Officer of CDP
