Review summary

Tetra Pak has submitted its Approach to Nature to ‘It’s Now for Nature’ and met all the review criteria.

Reviewed June 2026

  • Tetra Pak’s materiality assessment addresses nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities across the value chain.
  • Drivers of nature loss in Tetra Pak’s value chain include: land use change, direct exploitation of natural resources, climate change and pollution.
  • Sourcing of raw materials – particularly paperboard, other packaging materials, polymers, and aluminium foil were found to have the most significant negative impacts on nature.

    • The company’s SMART targets cover their upstream, direct, and downstream operations as well as “transform” that covers nature restoration and voluntary initiatives.
    • For example:
      • Upstream, their targets are by 2027, aim to achieve traceability to the product unit of origin or sourcing area for 100% of the paper-based materials, aluminium foil and plant-based polymers that are sourced from high-priority locations.
      • Tetra Pak aims to place 7,000 hectares of land under active restoration by 2030.

    • Actions are aligned with the findings of their 2025 risk and opportunity assessment and spam across land, water, and circularity.
    • Each target is accompanied with a description of implemented and planned actions.
    • For example:
      • Tetra Pak will ensure that 100% of  paper-based material originates from FCS-certified and other controlled substances and that 100% of plant-based polymers are Bonsucro-certified.
      • Tetra Pak will work with high-impact suppliers to reduce total water withdrawal intensity in the upstream value chain

  • The Nature Approach is an inherent part of Tetra Pak strategy owned and approved by their executive leadership team which oversees its implementation.
