CDP’s Supplier Engagement Rating evaluates how effectively companies engage with their suppliers on climate change. Performance is assessed based on governance, targets, Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement. The results are based on companies’ response to CDP’s comprehensive climate change questionnaire. The A- rating underlines Berry’s sustainability credentials – higher than the global average across 13,000 companies who participated in the CDP rating process for environmental transparency.

“Sustainable businesses need sustainable supply chains, and we take our role seriously in working with our partners to achieve a consistently high standard of proactive and positive action,” said Tarun Manroa, EVP and Chief Strategy Officer at Berry Global. “It is fantastic to be recognized by CDP for our engagement activities and we’re proud to add the status of Supplier Engagement Leader to our existing CDP rating.”

CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states, and regions to manage their environmental impacts. The world’s economy looks to CDP as the gold standard of environmental reporting, with the richest and most comprehensive dataset on corporate and city action.

“Our data shows that companies currently have blinkers on when it comes to assessing their indirect impacts and engaging with suppliers to reduce them,” said Sonya Bhonsle, Global Head of Value Chains & Regional Director Corporations, CDP. “Companies must act urgently to cascade action and manage environmental impacts throughout their supply chains to scale the level of action to secure a 1.5 degrees Celsius future. Many congratulations to the 400+ companies earning a place on CDP's 2021 Supplier Engagement Leaderboard. As a Supplier Engagement Leader, Berry Global is a trailblazer driving the transition towards a sustainable net-zero future.”

Spotlight: Customer Collaboration is Key to Bringing Circular Solutions to Market Faster

Berry Global partnered with Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc. to improve the recyclability of food packaging with MXD6, a high-performance barrier solution for extruded articles, such as thermoformed items and extruded plastic tubes and bottles. The MXD6 barrier is recyclable up to 12% and received Critical Guidance recognition from the Association of Plastics Recyclers (APR), validating its compatibility with the Polypropylene (PP) recycling stream. Using MXD6 helps eliminate the performance and compatibility limitations of Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH), including limited recyclability and reprocessing issues that cause degradation and contamination, and offers an alternative during material shortages.
