How the Greif Green Tool Is Evolving to Deliver Even Greater Sustainability Value

At Greif, we know that sustainability progress depends on clear data, credible insights, and partners who help you make confident decisions. For more than a decade, the Greif Green Tool has helped our customers understand the environmental impact of their packaging choices and explore opportunities to reduce their carbon footprint. It has become one of the most trusted resources in our portfolio because it provides clarity in a space that often feels complex.

As more companies set science-based targets and strengthen their ESG reporting, the demand for high quality environmental analysis has grown quickly. To continue delivering the accuracy, detail, and reliability our customers expect, Greif has just introduced an updated pricing model for the full version of the Greif Green Tool.

Why the Green Tool is Evolving

The full Green Tool analysis has become more robust than ever. Each report involves detailed life cycle modeling, expert interpretation, and data that align with internationally recognized Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) standards. The insights generated play an important role in regulatory reporting, customer decarbonization efforts, customer scorecards, internal sustainability planning, and decision making.

As a result, the ability to enhance and maintain the tool requires ongoing investment. By introducing a pricing model, we can continue offering high-value, high accuracy assessments with the level of expertise our customers require. This update helps ensure that the Greif Green Tool remains a powerful partner on your sustainability journey.

What You Can Expect with a Full Green Tool Analysis

A full Green Tool assessment delivers a detailed understanding of environmental impact across your packaging portfolio. Based on the package tier selected, customers can receive:

• Individual CO2 footprint reports for each product chosen
• A consolidated analysis that shows portfolio patterns and opportunities
• Recommendations that identify where carbon reductions are achievable
• Customized formats that support internal reporting
• Delivery timing ranging from one to four weeks depending on scope

Pricing varies by region and the number of SKUs included. We offer Starter, Core, Extended, and Custom Tiers to match a wide range of needs.

Free Versions of the Tool Will Continue to Be Available

Several versions of the Greif Green Tool remain free. These options are ideal for early-stage analysis, quick comparisons, and customer conversations where a high-level view is sufficient for the most common Greif products. They include:

• Green Tool Lite
• Online Green Tool
• IBC Circularity Calculator

These free resources are often a helpful starting point before moving deeper into analysis.

Your Sustainability Progress Is Our Priority

Sustainability expectations continue to rise across markets. Customers, regulators, and investors are all placing greater emphasis on transparency and measurable progress. With the updated Green Tool capabilities, you can feel confident that the data supporting your decisions is grounded in science and aligned with industry standards.

Currently aligned to ISO 14040/14044 standards, Greif is also working to align our LCA with additional frameworks including ISO 14067, and Together for Sustainability Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) guidelines. The Green Tool will then be updated to align with our revised LCA. These enhancements are expected to be completed by Q4 2026 and will further strengthen the credibility and comparability of Green Tool insights.
