Strong CDP rating underscores Selecta’s climate leadership

Cham (Switzerland), February 18, 2025 – Selecta Group, a FoodTech company with a leading route-based, self-service distribution network in Europe has recently earned a “B” rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a leading global platform for environmental disclosure. This rating highlights Selecta’s strong approach to managing emissions, climate risk, and transparency. 

Selecta’s “B” rating in “Climate” reflects the company's proactive approach to addressing its environmental impacts, surpassing basic climate criteria, and demonstrating solid environmental management. This rating, which is the second-best available on a scale ranging from D to A, indicates that the company is taking meaningful action to minimize its environmental footprint. Furthermore, the “B” rating is above the average for the food industry, highlighting Selecta’s commitment to sustainability.

 

Christian Schmitz, CEO of Selecta Group, said: “Sustainability is not a destination – it is a continuous commitment to progress. This CDP assessment underscores our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint and driving positive change in our industry.” 

 

Adrian Mourarach, Group Environmental Specialist at Selecta, added: “At Selecta, accountability means more than just reporting. It’s about reflection, recalibration, and progress. Each disclosure is an opportunity to measure where we stand and how we can improve, not just for ourselves but also for our stakeholders who rely on us to lead with integrity.”

 

The CDP framework is globally recognized, offering a clear benchmark for companies working to improve their sustainability practices. It evaluates how companies measure, manage, and reduce emissions across governance, climate strategy, risk management, and emissions reduction. 

 

According to CDP and environmental experts, data plays a crucial role in driving the transformative change our planet and economy need. Disclosures are now being used by a growing number of stakeholders, including those in finance, procurement, investment, and government, to turn transparency into actionable steps.
