Sonoco’s ESG strategy encompasses a range of environmental and social initiatives, including reducing our environmental impact, promoting diversity and inclusion, supporting our communities, and ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and stakeholders.
At Sonoco, safety is not just about compliance with regulations and standards; it is about creating a culture of safety where everyone takes personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of those around them. We believe that safety is a shared responsibility and that everyone in our organization has a role to play in ensuring a safe and healthy workplace.
“We believe that best solutions to safety issues and concerns are found in the employees who perform the work every day.”
Brian Hayes, Plant Manager, Sonoco ThermoSafe
One of the ways we promote safety at Sonoco is through our Safety First program, which provides training, tools, and resources to employees to help them identify and mitigate safety risks. We also conduct regular safety audits and inspections to ensure that our facilities and operations meet the highest safety standards.
In addition to ensuring the safety of our employees, we also prioritize the safety of our products and the communities where we operate. We have rigorous quality control and product safety protocols in place to ensure that our products meet or exceed industry standards and do not pose any risks to consumers or the environment.
“Building trust with our associates is the foundation for establishing the safety culture we all deserve. Seeking associate feedback, listening to safety concerns and following up with solutions expeditiously is the standard at our plant.”.
Nick Glenn, Plant Manager, Sonoco ThermoSafe
