Tetra Pak
- 2009/2010 in brief

Progress on our climate goal
As a partner to the WWF Climate Savers programme we actively work on our commitment to achieving our five-year carbon reduction goals. Our goal is to reduce carbon emissions 10 per cent between 2005 and 2010 in absolute terms. We are in a good position to meet the challenging climate goal by 2010 if we continue to deliver improvement as done to date. Our 2009 energy use was a similar level as in 2002, despite a 33 per cent increase in packaging production over the same period. Mitigating climate change is a global responsibility and our commitment to drive the business in an environmentally sound way is an integral part of our company culture.

Climate award
Tetra Pak received the 2010 Klimatpris (Climate Award) from the Swedish Forest Industry Federation. The award was delivered by H.R.H. Prince Carl Philip, to Finn Rausing at a ceremony in Stockholm on April 20, 2010.

Global launch of Tetra Brik Edge
On 29 June 2009, we announced the global launch of Tetra Brik Edge, the packaging solution for chilled liquid dairy products designed for consumers of all ages. The Tetra Brik Edge package is easy to use – whether you are young or old – so much so that it is endorsed by the Swedish Rheumatism Association, which also chose it as their ‘Package of the Year’. The 34 mm diameter SimplyTwist screw cap is designed to be easy to open, pour and reseal for everyone. As well as adding to the package’s visual appeal, the sloping top panel provides optimal pouring and its angulation makes it extremely easy for the hand to grasp the cap. Tetra Brik Edge is an excellent vehicle for branding. The sloping top also provides extra space for additional messages.

New school milk programmes
On 30 September 2009, World School Milk Day, we announced our support of two additional school milk programmes – in Ecuador and Morocco – as well as the expansion of existing programmes in Romania, Thailand, Mexico and Iran. Through the Food for Development Office (FfDO) we work in close partnership with governments, development agencies, NGOs, local dairies and farmers to deliver almost six billion packages of milk to 45 million children in schools in over 50 countries around the world. School feeding programmes can have a considerable impact on the local community and economy. Not only do they improve the health and learning capabilities of children, they often act as a catalyst for agricultural and economic development.

New generation of Tetra Therm Aseptic Drink combines economy with ecology
The next generation of Tetra Therm Aseptic Drink pasteurizers enables beverage producers to cut water consumption by up to 80 per cent, energy by up to 30 per cent and product losses also by up to 30 per cent, compared to other solutions on the market. This gives higher operational efficiency while lowering environmental impact.
