GPI’s Commitment To Sustainability Showcased In New Documentary The commitment of Graphic Packaging International (GPI) to sustainability and to supporting the circular economy is the focus of a new documentary. The short film, which was released on June 17, 2022, on reuters.com , reflects upon the leading fiber-based consumer packaging provider’s participation in an initiative called Vision 2045. An inspirational project conceived to celebrate the cen- tenary of the United Nations, Vision 2045 entails fifty care- fully selected global businesses joining forces to leverage cutting-edge thinking and the latest technology to create world-changing outcomes. Amongst its key objectives, the project aims to demonstrate how both organizations and individuals can take collective action to ensure a better future for society and the planet. The initiative has been aligned to 2045 - when the UN celebrates its 100th anniversary - because it is hoped that by this year the UN Global Compact and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will have become woven into the fabric of everyday life for everyone across the planet. The new film features a number of key personnel from Graphic Packaging including Mike Doss, President and CEO; Elizabeth Hargrave, VP Global Quality; Michelle Fitz- patrick, VP & Chief Sustainability Officer; and Ricardo De Genova, Senior VP, Global Innovation & New Business De- velopment. Collectively, they offer a unique and personal insight into the company’s holistic approach to advancing product sustainability and driving change in reducing end consum- er waste while conserving resources. This includes using recycled input materials, developing products for optimum recyclability, and ensuring any virgin raw materials em- ployed by the business come from renewable, sustainably managed sources. The film showcases Graphic Packaging’s unrelenting focus on innovation. The provider of fiber-based packag- ing solutions knows that without innovation there can be no progress and continues to pioneer new advances in areas including material science and packaging design to safeguard the planet for the sake of future generations. The launch of the new documentary is just the latest activity from Graphic Packaging as part of the Vision 2045 initiative. Previously, key members of the company attend- ed a three-day summit that ran alongside the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). Commenting on the new documentary, Doss said: “The Vision 2045 documentary offers a unique window into GPI and into some of the environmental and societal consid- erations that motivate and inspire us. We are proud to be a part of this globally focused project, commissioned in support of the UN and its Sustainable Development Goals. The aims and objectives of the initiative closely mirror those of our own Vision 2025, which includes several am- bitious goals that we are committed to achieving.”
