LUXEMBOURG, April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardagh Group's
continuous efforts to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions have been recognised with a B-level rating from the
Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). CDP is a global environmental
impact non-profit that drives companies and governments to reduce
their greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water resources and
protect forests. Ardagh has worked with CDP since 2011.
Based on a rating scale from A to F, Ardagh's 2018 CDP rating
places Ardagh in the "Management" tier, the second-highest rating
awarded by CDP. This rating positions Ardagh's performance above
the general average by reporting companies. CDP reviewed close to
7,000 companies as part of their annual Climate Change
Questionnaire.
"The improvement in our climate change score and maintenance of
our good rating for water underlines Ardagh's continuous commitment
towards environmental issues and management," said Annelene
Ikemann, Ardagh Group CSR & Sustainability Manager. "The
submission of the CDP questionnaire is one of our key tasks each
year. Our CDP results show that the work and efforts by our team
are invaluable, not just for Ardagh but for our customers."
In 2017, Ardagh set a range of sustainability targets for 2025.
Most importantly, a reduction of CO2 emissions by 17
