Aptar Earns Top Marks for Climate Leadership

AptarGroup, Inc., a global leader in drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing, and protection technologies, has secured a place on the prestigious CDP "A List" for its leadership on climate change topics. This recognition underscores Aptar's commitment to reducing emissions, mitigating climate risks, and advancing the low-carbon economy. The company's efforts have been validated through CDP's 2024 corporate questionnaire, which assessed over 24,800 companies worldwide.

Aptar's journey towards sustainability is marked by significant milestones. The company has set formalized science-based targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reductions, aligned with the requirements to keep global warming at 1.5° Celsius by 2030. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Additionally, Aptar has a renewable electricity target and a Scope 3 target, demonstrating its comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship.



One of the key initiatives driving Aptar's sustainability efforts is its Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in Europe and the US. These agreements provide localized sources of renewable energy dedicated to Aptar's operations, further reducing its carbon footprint. The company has also received the ISO 14046 certification, which assures the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes, particularly as it increases its renewable electricity purchases.

Aptar's commitment to sustainability is not just about reducing emissions; it's also about fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. The company's Chief Sustainability Officer, Beth Holland, emphasized the importance of continuous improvement and collaboration in achieving sustainability goals. "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," Holland stated.

The recognition by CDP is a testament to Aptar's leadership in corporate environmental ambition, action, and transparency. The company's efforts have not only improved its environmental performance but have also enhanced its brand image and investor confidence. As Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar President and CEO, noted, "Our actions that demonstrate our continuous efforts in this area, and the products and solutions we provide, play an important role in improving everyday life for consumers and patients around the world."

Aptar's sustainability initiatives are part of a broader strategy that includes care for employees, communities, and the environment, collaboration with customers and suppliers, and a focus on circularity. The company aims to include 10% recycled resin content and achieve 100% recyclable, reusable, or compostable solutions in its personal care, beauty, home care, and food and beverage solutions by the end of 2025.



Aptar's recognition by CDP is just one of many accolades the company has received for its sustainability efforts. It has also been named one of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies 2024 by TIME and one of America’s Climate Leaders 2024 by USA Today. These recognitions highlight Aptar's leadership in sustainability and its commitment to creating a more sustainable future.

In conclusion, Aptar's recognition by CDP for its climate change efforts is a significant achievement that underscores the company's leadership in sustainability. Its commitment to reducing emissions, mitigating climate risks, and advancing the low-carbon economy sets a high bar for other companies to follow. As Aptar continues to innovate and develop sustainable solutions, it is poised to make a meaningful difference in the lives of consumers and patients around the world.
