Controlant received a B- rating in its first-time disclosure, recognizing that the company has addressed the environmental impact of its business. The B- rating for good environmental management is an affirmation of Controlant’s journey towards zero-waste supply chains for pharma. Our scores are particularly strong in areas of renewable energy, climate-related risk management processes, carbon emission verifications, and value chain engagement.

Environmental disclosure is a critical first step in addressing current and future risks and opportunities associated with climate change. By disclosing through CDP, Controlant responds to the increasing demand for environmental transparency from its stakeholders, including investors, customers, employees, suppliers, and partners. Controlant is one of more than 23,000 companies to disclose their CDP rating, making environmental impact disclosure a business norm.

Gísli Herjólfsson, CEO and co-founder of Controlant:

“On our path to realize our vision of zero-waste pharma supply chains, we are committed to transparency in the way we report on our progress to our stakeholders, and excellence in the actions we take to eliminate waste in one of the world’s most critical supply chains. By disclosing our environmental impact through the world’s leading platform on the matter—CDP—we have taken yet another step to enhance transparency and thereby facilitate collaboration with all our partners in realizing zero-waste pharma supply chains.”
