Sonoco was named to Newsweek® and Statista’s 2024 list of America’s Most Responsible Companies. This annual recognition evaluates 2,000 U.S.-based public companies to identify 600 leaders in environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.
We are pleased to be included in this list for the fifth consecutive year and to be ranked in the top 25% in 2024. Here are some of the ways we are committed to caring for the planet and its people:
Caring for the Planet
Doing the right thing is at the heart of Sonoco. We make sustainability part of everything we do, from leadership philosophy to material sourcing to end-of-life practices. We work with customers, partners and communities to create and manage post-consumer packaging that is better for the planet and people.
Sustainable Operations
We are setting ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use in our global operations and implementing programs to reduce water use and waste generation.
Sustainable Products
We prioritize sustainability and safety in product design to support customers in achieving goals related to environmental protection and consumer health and safety, such as
Assessing the health and safety impacts of products throughout their life cycle (resources, processing, manufacturing, distribution, use and end-of-life).
Designing for product end-of-life to reduce waste sent to landfills and increase opportunities for reuse or recycling of packaging products.
Caring for our employees
Since 1899, we have been known for our commitment to our employees because we believe that people are the foundation of our business. From recruiting to training to employee development, we are committed to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for our approximately 22,000 employees around the world.
Caring for our communities
We are committed to being good neighbors and corporate citizens in our communities through partnerships with nonprofit organizations, philanthropic support through the Sonoco Foundation, and employee volunteerism through the Sonoco Cares program.
In 2023, Sonoco donated approximately $2 million to nonprofit organizations around the world, more than half of which supported education at all levels, including college scholarships.
