“We are honored to be recognized with the #1 spot on the Green
Growth 50 list by Forbes. This is a tremendous recognition of our
progress to both drive earnings growth and become a more
sustainable, diverse and inclusive company that is focused on
furthering a circular economy. In fact, it is these very efforts
that help grow our business,” said Stephan B. Tanda, Aptar’s
President and CEO. “We look at everything we do through a
sustainability lens because our patients, customers and consumers
are actively seeking more sustainable solutions.”
Tanda is featured in the Forbes article Green Growth 50:
Learning from Companies Boosting Profits While Cutting Emissions,
which highlights the company’s progress toward Landfill Free
certification through its internal grassroots program started by
employees. By year-end, Aptar aims to have more than 60% of its
manufacturing facilities certified internally as Landfill Free. In
addition, the article highlights Aptar’s mono-material, fully
recyclable lotion pump called Future.
Aptar’s Vice President, Global Sustainability, Beth Holland,
explained, “We have made great progress at reducing our
environmental impact and increasing the use of renewable energy. As
we are part of the plastics industry, we focus on the pillars of
recyclability and reusability, resin conversion and sustainable
design. Much of this work is aligned to that of experts and
partners, such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the Science
Based Targets Initiative, who have a vision to innovate products
and supply chains in an environmentally conscious way while also
reducing emissions.”
To create the Green Growth 50 list, Forbes partnered with
Sustainalytics, a division of Morningstar, to review American
public companies according to their emissions reductions. The
search was limited to companies with more than 100,000 annual tons
of emissions and market cap greater than $5 billion. Using data
from FactSet Research Systems, Forbes also looked at profitability
and companies who had increased profits since 2017, mostly measured
by cash flow or EBITDA, but in some cases, net income.
