Building a Renewable Future
At Graphic Packaging, our purpose is clear: packaging life’s everyday moments for a renewable future.
Through RENEW, we’re putting our purpose into action — supporting the environment, food access, and future workforce.
WHAT IS RENEW?
RENEW: Local Action for Global Progress
RENEW, our social impact program, is inspired by our Vision 2030 commitment to enhance the communities where we operate. It helps us fulfill our sustainability promise: Better, Every Day.
Our goal: Engage employees in RENEW activities at every site, every year through 2030.
Our approach: Direct our charitable giving and volunteerism to three core areas for the greatest impact.
Renewing the Environment
Nature Restoration
Protecting and reviving nature by expanding urban green spaces and restoring forests across diverse global regions.
Recycling Advocacy
Promoting recycling education in schools and neighborhoods to reduce landfill waste, and partnering with organizations to advocate for broader acceptance of paper-based packaging in recycling systems across the U.S.
Renewing Food Access
Food Security
Partnering with local food banks and hunger-relief organizations to help decrease food insecurity through volunteering, donating, and raising awareness.
Disaster Relief
Making it simple for employees to help communities recover by providing immediate, hands-on ways to give and volunteer.
Renewing Futures
Youth Empowerment
Investing in youth programs that build life skills, expand learning access, and strengthen confidence for future success.
