Aptar was named a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader, for the sixth consecutive year. This assessment, based on information reported within the 2025 CDP reporting cycle, highlights companies that are engaging their suppliers on climate change and supporting efforts to address emissions throughout the value chain.
By evaluating supplier engagement and recognizing best practices, CDP aims to accelerate global action on supply chain emissions and the transition towards a more sustainable economy. Aptar received an ‘A’ score on the Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA), which is in the leadership band. As part of Aptar’s global sustainability strategy, the Company is working to cultivate a supply chain that is both socially inclusive and environmentally conscious, in support of customer and consumer needs.
In recent years, Aptar has continued to work with suppliers to support emission-reduction efforts aligned with its validated science-based targets and Carbon Transition Plan. More than 90% of Aptar’s total emissions are Scope 3 emissions, with over 80% of these linked to purchased goods and services, primarily raw materials such as plastics. For this reason, Aptar collaborates with suppliers, particularly those providing raw materials, to identify potential lower-carbon alternatives and advance circularity through product design and material selection.
Aptar’s Purchasing teams engage suppliers through both one-on-one collaboration and structured forums such as the Aptar Global Supplier Summit. The 2026 summit further strengthened collaboration through targeted challenge briefs, innovation exchanges, and dedicated working sessions that connected suppliers with Aptar teams to address operational and sustainability priorities. These interactions are designed to support alignment with Aptar’s sustainability strategy while advancing practical, supplier-led solutions. In parallel, Aptar continues to strengthen expectations for supplier performance and transparency. Aptar’s expectations of suppliers include sharing environmental data, participating in assessments and screening programs, and contributing to initiatives focused on materials, emissions reduction, and responsible sourcing.
The Supplier Engagement Assessment methodology provides a score which assesses supplier action as reported by a company’s CDP response. The score assesses the level of detail and comprehensiveness of the content, as well as the company’s awareness of climate change issues, management methods and progress towards action taken on climate change as reported in the response. The highest-rated companies are recognized as Supplier Engagement Leaders on the CDP website.
