Tetra Pak has reported a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain and a 54% cut in emissions from its own operations since 2019, according to its newly released 2024 Sustainability Report.
The progress keeps the company on track to reach net-zero emissions in its operations by 2030, with a long-term goal of net-zero across the full value chain by 2050.
In 2024, 94% of the company’s operations ran on renewable energy. Tetra Pak also helped customers reduce their own emissions through energy-efficient equipment like the new Tubular Heat Exchanger, which cuts electricity use by up to 40%.
CEO Adolfo Orive emphasized the need to balance rising global food demand with lower environmental impact: “We are driving more secure and sustainable food systems while mitigating climate impacts.”
Key highlights include:
-
A 13% year-on-year drop in GHG emissions from delivered ambient dairy lines

Support for 66 million children in 49 countries through school feeding programs
