"In a world bombarded by rapid change, one truth remains constant: Sonoco people care deeply about the company and about each other.

I've seen it in every Sonoco plant around the world. I've seen it throughout the Hartsville Complex—in the way you do your job, in the way you embrace teamwork, and in the way you celebrate our culture.

At Sonoco, we share a unique culture—an attitude of personal responsibility for our own safety and the safety of each other. A culture where everyone understands the importance of safety for our families, our co-workers and their families and our Company.

This core value is recognized and appreciated by Sonoco employees, customers and shareholders.

Improving workplace safety is an ongoing task—one we take seriously. I count on you to actively participate as members of safety committees, perform safety audits, look out for the well being of your associates—and most of all—to work safely each and every day.

Sonoco safety excellence is powered by people.
