CDP evaluates an organization’s engagement with their suppliers
on climate change. Purchasing organizations have the potential to
incentivize significant environmental changes through engagement
with their suppliers. By evaluating supplier engagement and
recognizing best practice, CDP aims to accelerate global action on
supply chain emissions.
Aptar received an ‘A’ supplier engagement rating which is in the
leadership band and higher than the Global average of ‘C’, and
higher than the plastic product manufacturing sector average of
‘C’. As a part of Aptar’s global sustainability strategy, the
Company collaborates with thought leaders to cultivate an
innovative supply chain that is both socially inclusive and
environmentally conscious, to meet customer and consumer needs.
In recent years, Aptar has worked with suppliers to strategize
around emission reduction that affects Aptar’s validated
science-based targets within its Carbon Transition Plan. More than
90% of Aptar’s total emissions are scope 3 emissions, and of that,
more than 80% are from purchased goods and services - raw materials
(namely plastics). For this reason, Aptar collaborates with
suppliers, especially those supplying raw materials, to identify
lower-carbon options and source materials with more recycled
content and more recyclable materials in the design of our
products.
Aptar’s Purchasing teams work closely with their suppliers
through one-on-one collaboration and through discovery sessions
that are hosted during Aptar’s Global Supplier Summit. The summit
provides further opportunity to align on Aptar’s Sustainability
strategy and vision for the future. In addition to the focus on a
more environmentally sustainable supply chain, Aptar has a Supplier
Diversity Program that is expanding Aptar’s network of diverse
supply chain partners. New in 2023, Aptar released a Supplier
Sustainability Playbook to give suppliers information to fulfill
the Company’s expectations on sustainability and collaboration in
these key areas.
“Our fourth consecutive year as a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader
reflects the strong collaboration between our Sustainability,
Innovation and Purchasing teams where we strategically align with
suppliers that are participating in our Supplier Screening process
through platforms like EcoVadis,” said Beth Holland, Aptar’s Chief
Sustainability Officer. “Our sustainability efforts also provide us
a competitive advantage in the marketplace, as many of our products
are fully recyclable, made from more sustainable materials, or in
some cases, reusable. Our company is run in a sustainable manner
with more than 90% of our energy coming from renewable sources and
over 60% of our facilities certified as landfill free through our
internal program.”
CDP’s annual Supplier Engagement Rating (SER) evaluates
corporate supply chain engagement on climate issues. By engaging
their suppliers on climate change they are playing a crucial role
in the transition towards the net-zero sustainable economy. The
highest-rated companies are celebrated on CDP’s Supplier Engagement
Rating Leaderboard. For more information on Aptar’s ESG progress,
