“Since 2021, Aptar has achieved EcoVadis Platinum status reflecting our exemplary leadership, collaboration and commitment towards a more sustainable future,” said Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar President and CEO. “Our focus on sustainability affords us a competitive advantage. The world’s leading brands turn to us not only to support their sustainability commitments and strategy, but to benchmark best practices including our eco-efficient operations, sourcing of renewable energy and development of products that are more recyclable, reusable, refillable and incorporate more sustainable materials.”

EcoVadis is a global standard for business sustainability ratings and its methodology is aligned to several established frameworks and sustainability regulatory requirements. The EcoVadis Sustainability Scorecard illustrates company performance across four key themes: environment, labor and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement, with an additional ranking on carbon.

In addition, collaboration with responsible suppliers is one of the ways Aptar achieves more sustainable outcomes and the company works with EcoVadis to obtain data for its Supplier Screening Program. Formally integrating social and environmental screenings into Aptar’s existing purchasing program allows the company to better understand risks and performance areas, increase transparency and work on continuous improvement with suppliers.

Beth Holland, Aptar’s Chief Sustainability Officer, shared, “More and more customers seek an EcoVadis ranking as a key indicator for doing business together. We hear from our customers and key stakeholders about the importance of sustainability, not only in product strategy, but their need to partner with companies where a strong, overarching Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy is a business imperative. We are proud to be recognized by EcoVadis for our year-over-year sustainability progress and the unwavering commitment by our global teams to care for our planet and drive towards a more circular plastics economy.”

Aptar’s focus on sustainability is reflected in our core values as a company but also as our commitment to being a responsible, inclusive global corporate citizen.
