Ontex Receives A- Rating for Transparency on Climate Action
Aalst, Belgium, February 8,
2024 –Ontex (Euronext: ONTEX) is proud to have received an
A- rating for leadership in corporate transparency and performance
on climate change for its 2023 contributions. Ontex received the
rating among 23,000 companies evaluated by global environmental
non-profit Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), ranking Ontex in the
top 6% of evaluated companies.
Gustavo Calvo Paz, CEO of Ontex said: "I am
thrilled to share that Ontex has successfully reduced carbon
emissions from its operations by over 50% in just 3 years. Our
commitment to sustainability helps both our customers, who are
reducing carbon in their supply chains, and our consumers, for
generations to come. Together, we are closer to achieving net zero
emissions and securing long-term business success."
Ontex earned its A- climate action rating by
being transparent about how it emits carbon and where it is
reducing emissions, and by sourcing more than 90% of the
electricity used in its factories worldwide - 100% in its European
factories - from renewable sources.
Ontex's climate action efforts are part of the company's 2030
sustainability strategy, which also includes actions towards
driving positive change throughout the supply chain.
This year, Ontex reaffirms its positive CDP B score for Forests
Disclosure, indicating the company's ability to measure and manage
forest-related impacts, risks and opportunities. Ontex sources a
range of forest-derived raw materials, from viscose and pulp to
wood-based packaging. The company's internal due diligence system
mechanisms help to assess, mitigate and prevent risks associated
with deforestation or other unsustainable practices throughout the
vulnerable supply chain of these materials. One of Ontex's key
safeguards is to ensure that 100% of wood-based materials are
sourced from certified or controlled sources. Year on year, Ontex
shows solid progress in increasing the share of certified
materials, culminating in over 90% in 2023.
CDP’s annual disclosure process is widely
recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental
transparency. Over 25,000 organizations around the world disclosed
data through CDP in 2023, with more than 23,000 companies –
including listed companies worth two thirds global market
capitalization.
