As a major user of paperboard, we have a responsibility to ensure the world's forests are managed in a socially, environmentally and economically sound way. We ensure than 100% of the paperboard in our packages comes from Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) certified or controlled sources. We do this by joining up with suppliers, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders to promote responsible forest management and strengthen traceability through certification and labelling.
The FSC license code for Tetra Pak is FSC™ C014047.
Tetra Pak has been on the CDP A-List Forests Programme for the last four years in recognition for our work in managing and mitigating risks associated with the sourcing and production of timber. During 2019, we were 1 of only 08 companies, from out of total 543 companies, to be identified as a global leader in tackling deforestation in our supply chain. We also achieve this year A list score for our Climate Disclosure.
In sourcing paperboard for liquid-based packaging, we follow two main principles:
- all the wood fibre in our paperboard should come from forests independently certified as being managed in accordance with the principles of sustainable forest management; and
- we should be able to prove traceability from the forests all the way to the packaging material we produce at our sites globally, which can only be achieved through independent certification of the total Chain of Custody.
The positive impact of certification
We have long recognised the value of independent certification in the transition to a sustainable future. During 2017, as founding members of the Value and Impact Analysis (VIA) initiative we collaborated with the likes of Kingfisher and IBH, to review the scientific evidence of the positive impact of the certification of forests and the application of sustainability standards. We found that when several companies commit to a sustainable forest standard – such as the FSC™ – it has measurable on-the-ground impact on protecting and securing biodiversity.
