Graphic Packaging Company Culture

Graphic Packaging Mission, Vision & Values

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Graphic Packaging

Since establishing a formal sustainability program in 2008, Graphic Packaging has made significant progress. Our product portfolio emphasizes renewable and recycled materials. We utilize essentially all the wood that comes into our virgin paperboard mills, either to manufacture paperboard or to produce power through biomass. At our coated unbleached kraft (CUK) and solid bleached sulfate (SBS) mills, we generate most of our electricity from renewable energy sources and send excess energy (where available) back to the local power grid. Virtually all our paperboard products are recyclable, and for those that aren’t widely accepted, we make great efforts to collaborate with external stakeholders — including our customers and suppliers — to find innovative solutions to recapture the valuable fiber to make new products.

We are witnessing unparalleled changes in our industry and on our planet. We understand that consumers are more frequently insisting that products — and the packaging that protects them — come from a company they trust and reflects their values.

Graphic Packaging has taken bold actions to advance our sustainability and social responsibility initiatives, including meeting ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease our dependence on fossil fuel-based energy and responsibly utilize water. While we are proud of our progress, we continue to strive toward more ambitious goals as outlined in our Sustainability Vision 2025.
