Stewardship & Sustainability
Our approach to sustainability reflects our commitment to putting our customers, their consumers, and communities front and center.
When it comes to our core packaging business, we employ a lifecycle approach to develop solutions that help provide protection, safety, security, and shelf appeal - while also being reusable, recyclable, or compostable. That's a positive impact for you, for your customers, and to the natural environment we all share.

|
Energy and Climate Change We work to lower our environmental footprint by responsibly using natural resources, and support a comprehensive energy policy that includes new and traditional energy sources. |
|
|
Supply Chain We understand the role we can play in influencing sustainable practices throughout our supply chain by implementing rigorous policies and procedures that support our customer focus and end-to-end process. |
|
|
Water We borrow, treat and recycle water at our four integrated paper mills, so very little water is actually consumed in the paper-making process, and we're always looking for new ways to minimize water consumption. |
|
Packaging & Recycling We know packaging matters - from promoting and protecting a product to meeting changing consumer behavior to using materials effectively - so we work hard to develop innovative solutions that maximize materials, minimize waste and add value to brands. |
|
|
Community & Social Development We believe in maintaining a global company that's productive, innovative and competitive, so we've established worldwide standards to achieve that goal. |
Sustainable Forestry Initiative
The fiber used in our paperboard comes from a renewable resource - trees. We work hard to ensure our key raw material will be available for generations to come. In fact, we helped start the Sustainable Forestry Initiative more than a decade ago.
