Bemis Company, Inc. Utility Navigation Menu Search Environmental Sustainability OUR COMMITMENT We take our responsibility to the environment seriously. That’s why we’ve designed programs and initiatives to help meet our own and our customers’ environmental goals. Learn More Sustainability at a Glance Good environmental practices are woven into every part of our operating model, and we continue to make tremendous progress toward our environmental sustainability goals. We have successfully reduced waste to landfill and our use of process water, solvents, electricity, and fuel. Given the meaningful progress in our goals, we are now simplifying our approach and extending our progress for the long term by adopting a “maintain and gain” philosophy. We aim to hold the progress (maintain) and look for opportunities to continually improve even further (gain) as we grow our business. We are proud of our accomplishments, but we will never stop our continuous improvement philosophy.
