“This recognition reflects the enormous strides made across Berry to increase transparency and prioritize environmental, social, and governance efforts at every level of our business. Ratings designations such as this are valuable guides for those trying to better understand which companies are driving positive change by embedding ESG principles throughout their organization,” said Tom Salmon, Chairman and CEO for Berry Global.
Covering approximately 100 indicators per industry, the ISS ESG Corporate Rating is an annual rating based on a broad range of ESG as well as sector-specific factors, including environmental impacts of production, resource-conserving production, responsible sourcing of raw materials, packaging life cycle, and product safety for the packaging industry. Berry’s Prime rating was driven by a wide variety of efforts, including increased transparency in the Company’s 2021 Impact Report, external assurance of its science-based greenhouse gas emissions reduction target, and implementation of additional ESG policies (e.g. a modern Global Code of Business Ethics in 25 languages, Restricted Substances List, and Environmental Management).
