The flexible packaging manufacturer is one of 200 high-performing companies out of over ten thousand scored.
“Sustainability and climate-related topics play an essential part of Constantia Flexibles' business focus/objectives. By fully integrating environmental considerations we can create long-term value.

An award for environmental awareness
CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. In 2021, over 590 investors with over 110 trillion USD in assets and 200 major purchasers with 5.5 trillion USD in procurement spend, requested companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks, and opportunities through CDP’s platform. A record-breaking 13,000 companies responded.
A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these companies, allocating a score from A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of disclosure, awareness, and management of environmental risks and demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
Paul Simpson, CEO of CDP, said: “Congratulations to all the companies on this year’s A List. The scale of the risk of businesses to climate change, water insecurity, and deforestation can no longer be ignored. Our A List celebrates those companies who are preparing themselves to excel in the economy of the future by taking action today.”
