Sustained Excellence in Sustainability
Aptar’s consistent recognition as a climate leader underscores its dedication to environmental stewardship. The company has implemented a comprehensive climate transition plan aligned with the latest climate science, aiming to support the transition towards a low-carbon economy. By year-end 2024, Aptar achieved significant milestones, including sourcing more than 95% of its total global electricity consumption from renewable sources. In addition, the company was recognized for its actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and further the low-carbon economy, by environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its prestigious “Climate A List” for 2024.
Recognition and Methodology
USA Today’s recognition of Aptar as one of America’s Climate Leaders is based on a rigorous evaluation process conducted in partnership with Statista. Over 2,000 US-based companies with revenues exceeding $50 million in 2022 were assessed based on their publicly available environmental records, including Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and a Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) score of at least C. The final rankings were determined by each company’s annualized reductions in emissions intensity calculated between 2021 and 2023.
Aptar’s Broader Impact
Aptar has been actively reducing emissions for much longer than the two-years that this ranking considers. Since the Company’s baseline year 2019, Aptar has achieved a reduction of more than 75% of Scope 1 + Scope 2 absolute emissions, as monitored toward their validated science-based target.
In addition to this recognition from USA Today, Aptar has also been named among America’s Most Responsible Companies 2024 by Newsweek for six consecutive years and one of Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies for seven consecutive years. These accolades further validate Aptar’s leadership in sustainability and its commitment to making a positive impact on the environment.
Beth Holland, Aptar’s Chief Sustainability Officer, expressed pride in the company’s achievements: “We have made significant strides along our Climate Transition Plan since our baseline year, which means it is increasingly difficult to show progress in the short period evaluated by this ranking. Nevertheless, we are honored to be named to USA Today’s list of America’s Climate Leaders for the third consecutive year. Our commitment to sustainability remains unwavering as we innovate to create more products that are fully recyclable, reusable, or made from sustainable materials. We also continue to collaborate with top organizations throughout our value chain to drive meaningful impact.”
