Sustainability

As a 114-year-old packaging company with small town roots, integrity and accountability have always been at the heart of all we do. Today, our more than 340 operations in 34 countries serve global brands across six continents. Every day, we commit ourselves to the singular notion that smart packaging is more than plastics, cardboard and paper– it’s a promise to people, products and our planet. And we believe it’s one well worth keeping. Download our 2011-2012 Corporate Responsibility Report to learn more, or view our GRI reporting.
