Tetra Pak was looking for a trusted global project management partner to bring consistency, efficiency, and strategic oversight to its real estate portfolio. The company required expert management of capital projects, industrial facilities, and infrastructure while ensuring alignment with its ambitious sustainability commitments. The goal was to integrate sustainability strategies into real estate decisions and streamline program management across multiple locations.

In partnership with Knight Frank, Arup has established a team of built environment professionals to manage Tetra Pak’s projects worldwide. We have developed a structured, scalable program management approach, ensuring seamless coordination across multiple locations. Our services include capital project management, real estate portfolio optimization, and sustainability-led decision-making. This ongoing collaboration continues to help Tetra Pak improve efficiency, reduce risk, and achieve its long-term business and environmental objectives.

Through this partnership, Tetra Pak has established a structured, strategic approach to managing its real estate portfolio with sustainability at the core. The work we have delivered so far has enhanced operational efficiency and supported net zero ambitions. As our collaboration continues, we remain committed to helping Tetra Pak protect food, people, and the planet – reinforcing a shared commitment to responsible, sustainable growth.

Embedding sustainability within an organization

Arup’s project and program management experts have ensured that complex, multi-location projects are delivered efficiently and in alignment with Tetra Pak’s sustainability ambitions.

We introduced rigorous project governance to improve decision-making and operational efficiency across Tetra Pak’s real estate portfolio. Our teams continue to oversee capital projects in warehousing, industrial buildings, and infrastructure to enhance asset performance and long-term resilience.

Alongside project management, our sustainability specialists have supported Tetra Pak in embedding circular economy principles and low-carbon solutions into its global operations. We have already delivered energy-efficient design strategies, decarbonization roadmaps, and net zero transition planning. As the partnership progresses, we are continuing to refine and implement these strategies, ensuring that every project contributes to Tetra Pak’s broader commitment to sustainable business practices.

By integrating technical excellence with sustainable thinking, we help Tetra Pak meet its current operational needs while preparing for the future. Our agile and scalable approach enables us to adapt to the company’s evolving portfolio and ensure a measurable, positive impact on global sustainability goals.

We are thrilled to be partnering with Arup Knight Frank as part of our new Panel Partner model as we continue to enhance our real estate offerings and deliver exceptional value to our business.
