Essentra Achieves Prestigious CDP ‘A’ Score for Environmental Leadership
Essentra has been recognised by CDP, the global environmental non-profit, for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on Climate, securing a place on CDP’s respected annual ‘A’ List.
CDP operates the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system and assesses thousands of companies each year. In 2025, nearly 20,000 companies were scored, out of more than 22,100 reporting through CDP’s platform. Achieving an ‘A’ places Essentra among the global leaders demonstrating comprehensive disclosure, mature environmental governance, and meaningful progress towards environmental resilience.
CDP’s scoring draws on a rigorous and independent methodology, aligned with the TCFD framework. It evaluates companies’ depth of reporting, understanding of environmental risks, and evidence of best practice - including ambitious target-setting and verified action. CDP maintains the world’s largest repository of environmental information and is widely relied on to guide investment and procurement decisions that support a net-zero, sustainable and earth-positive global economy.
In 2025, 640 investors with $127 trillion in assets asked CDP to collect data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities.
Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP, said:
“Congratulations to all companies on CDP’s A List. Businesses earning an ‘A’ score are proving that environmental ambition and commercial strength go hand in hand. High quality data gives leaders the confidence to make earth-positive decisions that secure long-term competitiveness, attract capital and safeguard natural systems. These organisations show what is possible when transparency becomes the foundation for action.”
