Climate goal

We have reached our latest global climate goal for our operations. The target for 2010 was to reach an absolute 10% reduction of CO2 emissions as compared to 2005 in absolute terms. Confirmed by an independent audit by Ecofys, we achieved an absolute cut in carbon emissions of 12.9% while increasing production by more than 23% during the last five years. (The term 'absolute' means we will reach the 10% reduction even as production continues to grow during the same period).

The climate goal is achieved through improved energy efficiency and increased use of green power, eg electricity generated from renewable energy sources. The green power must meet the WWF high criteria for renewable energy.

The climate goal covers all Tetra Pak sites; it includes the direct emissions from the sites as well as the indirect emissions from the power suppliers that provide electricity to Tetra Pak’s sites.

We systematically audit and invest in improved energy efficiency throughout our operations.

We are currently developing a new climate goal that will be launched in the near future.
