AMSTERDAM — Global ingredients supplier Corbion earned an A- score for its climate change mitigation efforts from environmental non-profit CDP.

Every year, CDP evaluates more than 20,000 companies on their environmental disclosure, and it is considered the gold standard of environmental reporting.

Corbion submitted data in response to CDP’s 2023 climate change, water and forest questionnaires. After reviewing the data, CDP recognized the company’s ongoing actions to cut emissions, mitigate climate and water risks, and strengthen its forest-related policies. Within its sector, Corbion ranked among the 26% of companies at the Leadership level (A- score) on climate change that are implementing current best practices.

“We value the CDP’s assessment as an important gauge of how well we at Corbion are maintaining our focus, commitment and leadership role in shaping a more sustainable future,” said Olivier Rigaud, CEO of Corbion. “Maintaining a high level of performance over time is very challenging, as requirements increase every year. We are proud of the work we’ve done to maintain momentum on our sustainability journey and look forward to what we can accomplish in the coming year; that’s the mindset we must hold onto over the long term because that’s what this journey requires.”

Corbion has committed to achieving net-zero value chain emissions by 2050 and has received external validation of science-based targets aiming to limit global temperature rise to 1.5˚C.

The ingredients company recently shared strategies to help bakers tell their sustainability stories.

“As CDP continually raises the bar for what represents environmental leadership, the work of all companies should be celebrated, but is never complete,” said Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP. “We must see corporate ambition ramp up on climate and nature-positive action. This has never been more crucial.”
