In 2024, over 700 financial institutions with over 142 trillion USD in assets requested companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks, and opportunities through CDP's platform. A record-breaking 24,800 companies responded. Through significant demonstrable action on climate, Aptar is a leader in corporate environmental ambition, action and transparency worldwide. "We are proud to be recognized by CDP as a leader on climate related topics.

In addition, the Company has a renewable electricity target, as well as a Scope 3 target. Aptar's targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

"It is encouraging that Aptar's progress is recognized by CDP, especially given our ever-changing global environment. As companies across the globe aim to become more transparent, we believe it is important to share our progress with the world and reduce our carbon emissions year-over-year. This is why our focus at Aptar has been on continuous improvement and collaborating with our teams around the world as we make the next steps on our journey," said Beth Holland, Chief Sustainability Officer. A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies, allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks as well as demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
