Tetra Pak strengthens top-tier sustainability rating with higher EcoVadis score

Tetra Pak has retained EcoVadis’ highest sustainability rating for a second year in a row, after improving its score to 87 out of 100 from 85 in the previous assessment.

According to the company, the result keeps it in the top 1% of more than 150,000 businesses evaluated by the ratings provider worldwide. EcoVadis assesses companies across environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement, making the medal one of the most closely watched benchmarks of ...

The stronger score was supported by gains in the environment, ethics and sustainable procurement categories. Tetra Pak said the uplift followed a series of changes to its reporting and procurement practices during 2025, including more detailed sustainability disclosures, expanded reporting on sustainable purchasing activity, additional performance indicators and tougher supply-chain due diligence.

The company has also been broadening supplier engagement through its Join Us in Protecting the Planet programme, which it says now includes 145 suppliers representing most of its spending. The initiative is intended to push progress on climate action, nature, human rights and transparency across the value chain.

Martin Scott, executive vice-president for sustainability and communications, said the award underlined the company’s long-term commitment to building resilience in food systems at a time when climate pressures, resource shortages and supply-chain disruption are making food production more difficult. He said the recognition reflected the efforts of employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders in embedding sustainability across the business.

The latest EcoVadis result sits alongside a broader sustainability push from the Swiss packaging group. In its most recent sustainability reporting, Tetra Pak said it had cut greenhouse-gas emissions across its value chain by 25% since 2019 and reduced emissions from its own operations by 54% over the same period, while reaching 94% renewable energy consumption in its own operations.

Tetra Pak’s reporting framework is built around five linked priorities: food systems, circularity, climate, nature and social sustainability. The company says its wider aim is to help customers produce, process, package and distribute food more efficiently and securely, while reducing environmental impact.

The EcoVadis result is likely to bolster Tetra Pak’s claims that it is making measurable progress on sustainability, even as the company and its customers face growing pressure to improve resilience and cut emissions across global food supply chains.
