We only seek suppliers who share our beliefs and invest 10% of every dollar in diversity initiatives. People love working here because their ideas are heard and encouraged, regardless of background or level.

Our Sustainability Commitment

Why Sonoco?

Making a job change was a huge decision for me as it is for most. In 2021, I was looking for a company that understood that an employee is more than just a job function. I wanted to work for a company that truly valued and empowered its employees and wanted it to be a long-term and meaningful relationship on both sides. In my role at Sonoco, I feel challenged and have management that supports me to be the best I can. I have a close-knit work family that shares in each other’s triumphs, and we are there for each other when we need to be encouraged. It is great to work for a company that invests in me, my goals, my knowledge and my future.
