Multinational plastic packaging producer RETAL has earned its first A- score from the globally-recognised CDP, rewarding the company’s improved management of climate change after getting a B score during 4 years in a row.
As ‘the gold standard of climate change management evaluation, CDP represents the reference for investors, to assess companies, cities, state and regions performance in this area but is also becoming the mainstream tool for private companies to evaluate their suppliers.
Emmanuel Duffaut, Chief Sustainability Officer at RETAL, is clear that an A- score from CDP illustrates how the company puts climate change management at the forefront of its CSR action. “Our A- score is a great achievement and it sends a strong message to our people, our customers and all our stakeholders regarding our commitment to sustainability and it is very positive for our business. This rating ascertains RETAL’s leadership (top 18% of companies in our sector reporting to CDP) in terms of climate change management and gives all our partners the confidence to know that our products are manufactured in a sustainable way.”
RETAL’s A- CDP score has been achieved through our continuous effort to embed climate change into our long-term strategy, management and operations, materialized recently by setting science-based targets validated by SBTi, performing a risk assessment following the TCFD guidelines and reducing our GHG emissions.
