Delaware, Ohio-based industrial packaging producer Greif has announced new sustainability targets which it says reinforce its commitment to building a more sustainable and equitable future.

According to Greif, its broader sustainability focus continues to be advancing a circular economy, reducing GHG emissions and championing diversity, equity and inclusion.
The five goals announced in the company’s latest sustainability effort include:
- Reach zero waste to landfill at 97 percent of its production facilities by 2030.
- Make 100 percent of its products recyclable, with recyclability targets benchmarked by weight and consolidated at a company level.
- Achieve an average of 60-percent-recycled raw material content across products.
- Attain global gender pay parity, which is on track to be achieved by 2024.
- Evaluate the sustainability performance for 80 percent of total spend with suppliers, which Greif says can have a greater impact across its value chain.
“These 2030 targets reflect our determination as a global company to do our part in building a more sustainable future for our people and the planet,” Greif President and CEO Ole Rosgaard says. “Together, they create a roadmap to success for our customers, colleagues and the communities in which we operate and serve.”
