Sustainability:
A Growing Commitment
Our Sustainable Purpose
Berlin Packaging’s mission is to improve our customers’ net income through our products and services. We do so via three value levers: Increasing our customers’ sales, reducing our customers’ overall costs, and improving our customers’ productivity. Sustainability underpins each of these concentrations and thus is at the heart of every product and service we offer.
Because Berlin Packaging does not manufacture packaging components, our product offerings are not limited by material or technology platforms. Unburdened by manufacturing assets, we provide our clients with unbiased, fact-based sustainability consultation and a virtually unlimited palette of packaging options. We pledge to provide our clients with the broadest array of sustainable packaging options, fulsome decision inputs, and to assist them in making packaging choices that optimally balance maximized application performance and minimal environmental impact.

Sustainability Context
The packaging industry has evolved. As the market for standard packaging matured, material and manufacturing efficiencies have done so as well, limiting growth opportunities for those firms competing solely on the dimension of cost minimization. Today, the strongest and most sustainable competitive advantages come via intangible assets like innovation, engaged employees, resource stewardship, and strong value chain relationships. We believe that it has been our emphasis on developing these assets that has allowed us to grow at a rate many times faster than the packaging industry.
Studies show that customer satisfaction, environmental stewardship, and sustainable policies are associated with higher stock returns when a company focuses on core sustainable material issues.
