ProAmpac Launches Inaugural ESG Report

CINCINNATI (September 15, 2022) – ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, this week launched its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, A Path Forward, highlighting the company’s sustainability strategy.

ProAmpac’s mission is two-fold: (1) Offer a sustainable alternative for 100% of their products by 2025, and (2) Continue making an impact for employees and communities with programs such as the ProAmpac Employee Assistance Fund (PEAF) as well as community outreach events.

“ProAmpac has always worked ethically and responsibly in our business practices and our sustainable product mission, along with the ESG strategies we’ve developed, are transformative,” stated Greg Tucker, Founder and CEO of ProAmpac.

“We have aligned our capabilities and assets to meet these ambitious ESG goals. Our material scientists, packaging engineers and university partnerships place us ahead of our peers in innovating for a sustainable world.  In addition, we have invested in our Collaboration & Innovation Center (CIC), Quality team and intellectual property portfolio all in an effort to meet our sustainable packaging goals. This helps our customers as they strive to achieve their own sustainability goals,” Tucker said.

ProAmpac’s Sustainability Committee worked to create an inclusive ESG strategy that solidified the sustainable actions that have been core to ProAmpac since its founding in 2015. The company’s four ESG strategies outline the progress and commitments made.

Key ESG Strategies

• Foundational Principles

• Products
• ProAmpac is committed to offering customers sustainable alternatives for 100% of its products by 2025
• Operations

ProAmpac’s ESG report, A Path Forward, also highlights many stories of its people and processes that have positioned the company’s commitments for the future. “It’s important for all stakeholders to understand the sustainable and social responsibilities we’re committed to, and the impact we have on society and on the environment,” stated Tucker.
