From the CEO:

“We are pleased to share the significant ESG progress made by our global team in 2022. We are actively working towards a more sustainable future by operating responsibly, reducing our carbon footprint and developing even more sustainable solutions for customers, consumers and patients. We also believe that our leadership in sustainability creates a key competitive advantage in addition to helping protect the environment,” said Stephan B. Tanda, President and CEO.

Sustainable progress:

Aptar focuses on collaboration as one of the pillars of its sustainability strategy. The company works with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, among many others. Aptar is an active member of the CE100 network and a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact. In partnership with these organizations, Aptar aims to include 10% recycled resin content by the end of 2025 and achieve 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable solutions in our personal care, beauty, home care and food and beverage solutions by the end of 2025. Corporate Sustainability 2022 / ESG Report highlights these important partnerships and many others.

For 2022, Aptar has once again achieved the prestigious platinum level rating in recognition of its EcoVadis sustainability efforts. The platinum rating places Aptar in the top 1% of nearly 85,000 companies rated by EcoVadis across all industries.

Scientifically based objectives:

Aptar exceeded its original science-based target (SBT) Scope 1 and Scope 2 in the first year of validation by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Therefore, in 2022 we began working with SBTi to modify the Scope 1 and Scope 2 target to a more aggressive ambition and aligned it with the requirements to keep global warming at 1.5 °C by 2030. We received official confirmation of this new ambition in March 2023. Aptar also has confirmed scientifically based targets to increase the annual production of renewable electricity and reduce of Scope 3 emissions.
