Greif Recognized as One of America’s Most Responsible Companies

At Greif, responsibility isn’t just a value; it’s a promise to our customers. We are proud to share that this commitment has been recognized once again. For the seventh consecutive year, Greif has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Most Responsible Companies list.

This recognition reflects our daily efforts to implement ESG initiatives that directly support our customers’ sustainability goals, such as reducing environmental impact and enhancing supply chain resilience.

A Recognition Rooted in Customer Commitment

Since Newsweek launched the ranking for 2020, Greif has appeared on the list every year. That consistency matters. It shows customers that when they partner with Greif, they’re working with a company that delivers not just quality packaging solutions but also responsible practices that align with their ESG goals.

The Newsweek/Statista ranking analyzes:

1. Publicly available ESG performance data
2. A large-scale consumer survey focused on responsibility and reputation

Out of thousands of companies evaluated, only 300 earn a spot—making this recognition a meaningful measure of Greif’s long-term progress, transparency, and our commitment to responsible practices that stakeholders can trust.

“Being named to this list for the seventh year in a row is a testament to the dedication of our global teams,” said Ole Rosgaard, President and CEO of Greif. “We remain committed to operating with integrity, making our operations smarter and more efficient, and creating long-term, positive value for our customers, our communities, and our colleagues.”

For our customers, more intelligent and more responsible operations translate into:

1. A dependable global supply chain
2. Continuous innovation in sustainable packaging
3. Responsible sourcing and production practices
4. Reduced risk and greater supply-chain transparency

Helping Customers Achieve Their Sustainability and Circularity Goals

Greif’s sustainability strategy is designed with customers at the center. Across our global footprint, we are innovating and investing in solutions that help partners advance their own ESG commitments.

How We’re Supporting Customer Success

“Receiving this recognition reflects the passion and perseverance of our colleagues around the world who bring our sustainability commitments to life every day. I’m incredibly proud of our teams and grateful for their dedication to building a more responsible and resilient future together,” said Aysu Katun, Greif’s Vice President of Sustainability.
