Ontex Group, an international developer and producer of personal care solutions, has received an ‘A’ rating for the second year in a row from CDP, the global environmental non-profit, for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change.

In its 2025 CDP Climate Change assessment, Ontex received strong scores across key management and transparency categories, including governance, business strategy and value chain engagement. The assessment also highlights the clear priorities for the next phase of Ontex’s climate journey, including scaling energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions, strengthening emissions reduction initiatives and further embedding climate considerations into financial decision-making.

In 2025, Ontex further strengthened its climate performance through a number of concrete actions, including:

  • Achieving 100% renewable electricity across its operations;
  • Further embedding carbon transparency into product innovation, by expanding the use of its product sustainability scorecard to guide innovation and design decisions;
  • Deepening supplier collaboration on climate data, working directly with suppliers to obtain primary emissions factors and improve the accuracy of Scope 3 carbon reporting.

“We are proud to earn a CDP ‘A’ rating again,” says Annick De Poorter, chief innovation & sustainability officer. “It reflects the robustness of Ontex’s climate governance and the integration of climate-related risks and opportunities into strategic decision-making. Especially, since the sustainability landscape is shifting—while some reporting rules are easing, demands for transparency and proof of progress are rising. These challenges push us to keep raising the bar, working openly and together to drive real change across our value chain. That’s how we are ‘Here for you. Here for the better.’”
