Tetra Pak Vietnam has achieved remarkable achievements in three main areas: protecting food, promoting the circular economy and combating climate change.

Recently, Tetra Pak released its Fiscal Year 2022 Sustainability Report, which highlights the company's progress on various aspects of sustainability.

This 24th report shows that sustainable transformation remains at the core of the company's strategy and continues to be a priority in its business decision-making.

In 2022, Tetra Pak has achieved significant milestones, by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 39% in its operations, with 84% of its energy use coming from renewable energy sources.

This will help the company achieve net zero emissions of its operations by 2030.

In addition, the sale of 8.8 billion plant-based packages and 11.9 billion plant-based caps has also saved 131 kilotons of CO2.

Tetra Pak also invested nearly 30 million euros to promote the collection and recycling of used beverage cartons and partnered with food technology incubators and startups to explore the future of sustainable food.

This comes in the context that 2022 is a year marked by uncertainty, as a result of COVID-19, supply chain issues as well as geopolitical challenges.

The combination of all these factors has resulted in significant financial challenges for businesses and consumers, increasing the cost of living and leading to food insecurity for many people.

Mr. Adolfo Orive, the President and CEO of Tetra Pak, said: “The current operating environment requires integrated, systemic solutions. This is the only way we can meet the scale and speed of change needed to increase food access while reducing our environmental impact, in a way that leaves no one behind.

So we took a holistic approach to five interconnected and interdependent areas where we can contribute the most – including food systems, circular economy, combating climate change, protection of nature and sustainable development of society”.

Sustainable development remains at the core of Tetra Pak's strategy.

Mr. Adolfo has also concluded: “With our achievements in environmental protection and a strong commitment to the future, we will continue to promote closer cooperation with partners and find sustainable solutions to the challenges we and the society will face up to.

After all, this is our core purpose: “Committed to making food safe and available everywhere. And we promise to protect the good quality of these: Food, People, and Earth.”
