Graphic Packaging Holding Company (NYSE: GPK) today published its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, demonstrating progress on all pillars in the company’s ESG Vision 2025. The company achieved its climate intensity goals three years early and advanced decarbonization by seeking to set new, science-based climate targets to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions. Ethnic diversity reported among the company’s U.S. employee base was more than double the industry benchmark, underscoring its commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Graphic Packaging is aggressively pursuing a future fueled by renewable resources. Packaging solutions from the 27-country operation are made primarily with fibers from sustainably sourced trees or recycled materials. Nearly 65 percent of its energy is derived from renewable sources. Most of the company’s packaging today is designed to be recyclable, promoting a circular economy.

“We work relentlessly to develop resource-efficient and easily recyclable packaging solutions that use natural resources responsibly,” said President and CEO Michael P. Doss at Graphic Packaging. “We enable our customers — the world’s leading household brands — to shift toward more recyclable packaging. In addition to helping them meet their sustainability goals, we help shape how they think about packaging their products for the future.”
