Graphic Packaging International ranks No. 5 on 3BL’s 2025 list of 100 Best Corporate Citizens, as well as No. 1 in the materials industry category. 

Graphic Packaging has been recognized by 3BL, a leading sustainability communications partner, as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2025. This is the third consecutive year Graphic Packaging has been included in the 100 Best Corporate Citizens rankings.¹ 

Each year, 3BL evaluates the largest U.S. public companies on sustainability performance and transparency. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens recognition is a marker of best-in-class disclosure practices. 

“We are proud to be recognized once again by 3BL as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens — and especially honored to rank among the top five overall and No. 1 in our industry category,” said Michelle Fitzpatrick, vice president and chief sustainability officer for Graphic Packaging. “Sustainability recognitions like this reflect our commitment to sharing our progress and help guide our journey to become better, every day — for our packaging, our people and our future.” 

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking evaluates Russell 1,000 companies based on 219 factors across seven pillars, including climate change, employee relations, environment, governance, human rights, and stakeholders and society.  

After integrating dozens of new factors in 2024 to more accurately assess corporate performance as well as disclosure, 3BL limited year-over-year changes to the ranking methodology. 2025 changes include increasing the weight of some performance-based factors introduced in 2024 and ISS Sustainability Solutions’ annual enhancements to the E&S Disclosure QualityScore and Governance QualityScore.  

“It’s been a challenging year for responsible business, but the companies on this list have shown the courage to stay the course. In a climate where trust is the new KPI, they’re proving that transparency and accountability aren’t just ideals — they’re the foundation of stronger companies. The 100 Best Corporate Citizens exists to spotlight that strength, and to push the standard for corporate leadership higher every year.” 

— Charlie Wilkie, Chief Executive Officer, 3BL 

Unlike other rankings, the 100 Best Corporate Citizens relies solely on publicly available data and information, eliminating the need for questionnaires or company submissions, and there is no fee for companies to be considered. To ensure accuracy, companies have the option to verify the data collected for the ranking at no cost. The data and information used for the 2025 ranking were published between June 2024 and June 2025.
