Two additional awards reflect Greif's leadership and
commitment to being a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive
company.
DELAWARE, Ohio, Dec. 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B),
a global leader in industrial packaging products and services,
announced today it has received two additional awards recognizing
the company's leadership and continued commitment to corporate
social responsibility.
Greif was recognized with an "A-" rating in climate change by
CDP - a non-profit organization that runs the global disclosure
system for entities to manage their environmental impact. The
rating places Greif in the "Leadership" category and reflects the
company's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
effectively manage its climate risks and opportunities.
A detailed and independent methodology was used by CDP to assess
nearly 20,000 companies that disclosed environmental data in 2022.
Scores of "A" to "D-" were awarded based on the comprehensiveness
of the data disclosed, awareness and management of environmental
risks, and use of best practices associated with environmental
leadership.
In addition, Newsweek recognized Greif as one of America's Most
Responsible Companies for the fourth year in a row. Companies were
selected based on their environmental, social, and corporate
governance performance found in publicly available corporate social
responsibility (CSR) reports, sustainability reports, as well as
the results from a third-party independent survey.
"We are honored to receive these recognitions," said
Ole Rosgaard, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Greif. "Our work to operate more responsibly
and sustainably ensures we are doing the right thing for our
colleagues, our customers, our planet, and our shareholders."
