The World's Most Sustainable Companies 2025 ranking recognizes leading companies in corporate social responsibility from around the globe. Companies were evaluated in more than 20 key performance indicators related to sustainability, such as compliance with international reporting standards, emissions, or commitment to goals and initiatives. Based on this multi-layered analysis, a score was determined for each company. Out of over 5,000 of the world's largest and most influential companies assessed, the top 500 were awarded based on revenue, market capitalization and public prominence.
As outlined in the Company's 2024 Corporate Sustainability Report, Aptar has made considerable progress advancing key areas of its global sustainability strategy. Aptar achieved the Platinum level rating in recognition of its sustainability efforts from EcoVadis for the fifth consecutive year, placing the Company among the top 1% of the more than 150,000 companies rated by EcoVadis across all industries. In recognition of the Company's actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate risks and further the low-carbon economy, Aptar was named to the global environmental non-profit CDP 'A List'.
At year-end 2024, 97.5% of Aptar's global electricity was from renewable sources. As a complement, Aptar entered into renewable supply agreements in Europe and North America to reinforce its commitment to sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and provide a more localized source of renewable energy dedicated to the Company. In addition, 86% of operational waste avoided disposal to landfill through reuse, recycling and recovery and over 60% of Aptar's sites have earned Landfill Free Certification through Aptar's internal program.
