The Pregis Purpose

Pregis is guided by three core principles that make up the Pregis Purpose: Protect, Preserve, and Inspyre.

We recognize our crucial role within the value chain, from the materials we utilize in our products to the impact that protecting products throughout the manufacturing and transit process plays in helping companies meet their sustainability objectives.  We are also keenly aware and passionate about our impact on people – from our employees that are moving us forward to the workers that user our products in their daily processes down to the very consumers that are focused on a healthy planet and future for all. 

These commitments have culminated in the establishment of our 2K30 sustainability goals. These goals serve as a catalyst for tangible action, involving our dedicated employees, visionary leadership, valued customers, and industry partners.  At Pregis, we are united in achieving these seven pivotal milestones by the year 2030. As we continue to actively shape the circular economy, we are proud to share the progress of the past year within our annual Sustainability and ESG report.
