Delivering progress in sustainable packaging is a part of how we work every day.
We've moving sustainability forward – one box at a time.
Together, we create sustainable packaging solutions that enable our customers, teammates, and shareowners to thrive in an ever-changing world. This is our mission, and it drives everything we do.
Deliver 2030
The packaging we create doesn’t just carry products; it carries recyclability, responsibly sourced materials, renewable energy, and every other intentional decision made in its life cycle. That’s why we’re committed to delivering progress.
Our updated environmental sustainability framework is fundamental to how we create value for our company and our customers while living our values.
As we continue our journey, our targets serve as milestones that measure our progress in delivering sustainable outcomes for our customers.
Our framework is made up of eight targets across three impact areas:
Designing for Circularity
We’re designing for circularity by creating packaging that’s 100% recyclable and optimizing materials — meeting customer needs and advancing circular solutions.
Advancing Nature-Positive Sourcing
We’re advancing nature-positive outcomes through 100% sustainable sourcing of fiber, strengthening water resilience, and enhancing biodiversity across one million acres of forestland.
Driving Climate Impact
We’re driving climate impact by reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42%, cutting Scope 3 emissions by 25%, and aligning our transition plan to a net-zero trajectory by 2050.
