One of the converter winners of the 2021 Elevation Award was Hub Label. As a previous TLMI Sustainabil- ity Award winner, the judges were impressed by how Hub continues to raise the bar on best practices.The company is currently landfill-free, has a robust recy- cling program as well as a unique company-wide pro- gram Hub refers to as “RandomActs of Green.” Another Elevation Award was given to Multi-Color Corporation.

The company impressed judges with their impact on social structures and cre- ating jobs for rural communities where the company operates.
