II. About Tetra Pak: A Swedish Story of Global Impact
Tetra Pak's journey began with a simple but brilliant idea in Lund, Sweden. In 1951, Dr. Ruben Rausing founded the company with the vision of creating a package that required a minimum of material while providing maximum hygiene. This led to the creation of the iconic tetrahedron-shaped carton, a groundbreaking innovation that changed the food industry forever. The first filling machine was delivered in 1952, and since then, our commitment to innovation has never wavered. In 1961, we introduced the first aseptic packaging technology, allowing perishable products like milk to be stored for months without refrigeration, a milestone that was crucial in bringing safe food to remote corners of the world.
Today, Tetra Pak is the world's leading food processing and packaging solutions company, with over 25,000 employees in more than 160 countries. While our corporate headquarters are in Switzerland, our heart and soul remain in Sweden. Lund is home to our largest site, a global hub for research and development where the next generation of packaging is being born. We also have significant manufacturing operations in Skoghall and Sunne. Our recent €60 million investment in a new paper-based barrier pilot plant in Lund underscores our relentless drive towards creating the world's most sustainable food package. From the classic Tetra Brik® Aseptic to the elegant Tetra Prisma® Aseptic, our products are an integral part of daily life for people everywhere, and it all starts here, in Sweden.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our motto, "PROTECTS WHAT’S GOOD™," extends beyond protecting the food inside our packages. It is a commitment to protecting our planet and the communities where we operate. We are focused on three key areas: creating a circular economy, reducing our climate impact, and protecting biodiversity. Our packages are made primarily from paperboard, a renewable resource sourced from responsibly managed forests. We are constantly working to increase the use of renewable materials and to develop packaging that is fully recyclable. Our goal is to create the world's most sustainable food package, one that is made entirely from renewable or recycled materials, is fully recyclable, and is carbon-neutral. We are also committed to reducing the environmental footprint of our own operations, with ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and waste. By joining Tetra Pak, you will be part of a company that is making a real and positive contribution to a more sustainable future.

XIII. The History and Legacy of Tetra Pak
Our company has a rich history of innovation that dates back to the early 1940s. It was then that Dr. Ruben Rausing, the founder of Tetra Pak, began working on an idea to create a new type of packaging for milk that would be more hygienic and efficient than the loose milk bottles that were common at the time. After years of research and development, the first Tetra Pak machine was delivered in 1952, and the rest is history. The tetrahedron-shaped carton was an instant success, and it was soon followed by a series of other groundbreaking innovations, including the aseptic packaging technology that we are famous for today. Over the years, we have continued to push the boundaries of what is possible in food processing and packaging, always guided by our vision of making food safe and available everywhere. Today, the Rausing family's legacy of innovation and entrepreneurship lives on in our company culture, and we are proud to be part of a story that has had such a profound impact on the world.
