Sustainability Report

Overview

The report describes Greif's 2019 sustainability progress following the Caraustar acquisition, which expanded its paper packaging, recycling and water operations. The company reports becoming a net positive paper recycler and expanding circular-economy services for packaging and fiber. Its emissions and energy reporting now includes legacy Greif and Caraustar facilities, with an eleven percent emissions-intensity reduction against the 2014 baseline. The report is prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards Core option, includes SASB reporting, and serves as the company's UN Global Compact Communication on Progress.
