Graphic Packaging Recognizes High-Performing Employees with Annual Leadership and President’s Awards

Our Vision 2030 strategy reflects our commitment to packaging innovation, our culture, the planet, and consistently delivering great results. Each year, we celebrate superstar Graphic Packaging International employees who go the extra mile in these areas. 

First up, we recognize extraordinary contributions from employees around the world with our annual Leadership Awards. Nominations pour in from managers and teammates, and our senior executives then select the top-ranking submissions to receive a Leadership Award. 

From this elite group of Leadership Award winners, the crème de la crème are chosen to receive the President’s Award — our ultimate accolade. Winning this honor not only brings recognition at a congratulatory event with our CEO and human resources leader but also includes a monetary bonus and local celebrations. 

Both Leadership and President’s Award winners go far above and beyond their daily responsibilities. These self-starters contribute high-impact ideas, processes and projects that drive positive outcomes for our company, customers and community.  

“I am extremely proud of our award winners’ contributions to our company and our culture. Their ingenuity, drive and customer focus are the power behind Vision 2030.” 
— Mike Doss, President and CEO at Graphic Packaging 

This year, our leaders proudly presented the President’s Award to 48 recipients, handpicked from an impressive pool of 205 Leadership Award winners. Their innovative projects are all about: 

  • Managing emerging challenges with creativity, speed and determination.   
  • Delivering packaging innovation with a strong customer focus.  
  • Driving cross-functional collaboration and results. 
  • Improving safety protocols and productivity for a thriving work environment.   
  • Advancing our Vision 2030 strategic objectives.  

“Our award winners are more than just high achievers — they inspire and engage those around them while pushing through challenges to move our business forward.” 
— Elizabeth Spence, Executive Vice President of Human Resources at Graphic Packaging
