Berlin Packaging, the world’s largest Hybrid Packaging Supplier®, is proud to announce that its science-based net-zero greenhouse gas emissions targets - both near-term and long-term - have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This places Berlin Packaging among a select group of companies worldwide with climate goals aligned to the most ambitious 1.5°C pathway.

Berlin Packaging is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. The company’s validated targets include:

  • Reducing Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 44.8% by 2030, and by 90% by 2050 (from a 2022 baseline)

  • Reducing Scope 3 emissions intensity by 51.6% by 2030, and by 97% by 2050 (per US dollar of revenue, from 2022 baseline)


Berlin Packaging has already reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by over 23% since 2022, established a comprehensive Scope 3 reduction strategy, helped more than 80 brands launch sustainable packaging solutions, and supplied nearly 13,000 metric tons of post-consumer recycled material.

SBTi validation is more than a milestone—it’s independent proof that our climate goals are real, measurable, and aligned with the highest global standards.
