Graphic Packaging International showcases its commitment to sustainability in new documentary film
Graphic Packaging International's ('Graphic Packaging') commitment to sustainability and supporting the circular economy is the focus of a new documentary film. The short film, released on reuters.com on June 17, 2022, reflects the leading supplier of fiber-based consumer packaging's commitment to an initiative called Vision 2045.

Vision 2045 is an inspirational project designed to celebrate the United Nations centennial. In Vision 2045, 50 carefully selected companies are joining forces to achieve world-changing results using cutting-edge thinking and technology. A key goal of the project is to demonstrate how both companies and individuals can take collective action to ensure a better future for society and the planet.
The initiative is focused on 2045 - when the UN celebrates its 100th anniversary - because the hope is that by that year, the UN Global Compact and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be woven into the daily lives of everyone everywhere on the planet.
The new film features a number of key Graphic Packaging employees, including Mike Doss, President and CEO, Elizabeth Hargrave, VP Global Quality, Michelle Fitzpatrick, VP & Chief Sustainability Officer, and Ricardo De Genova, Senior VP, Global Innovation & New Business Development.
Together, they offer unique and personal insight into the company's holistic approach to driving product sustainability, changes in waste reduction and resource conservation. This includes using recycled materials, developing recyclable products and ensuring that all new raw materials used by the company come from renewable, sustainably managed sources.
The film highlights Graphic Packaging's relentless focus on innovation. The fiber-based packaging solutions provider knows that without innovation there can be no progress, and continues to pioneer new advances in areas such as materials science and packaging design to protect the planet for future generations.
The release of the new documentary is just the latest activity by Graphic Packaging as part of its Vision 2045 initiative. Previously, key members of the company participated in a three-day summit held alongside the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). This event brought together business leaders, UN delegates, government officials, and journalists for a series of panel discussions that focused on the themes of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Commenting on the new documentary, Mike Doss said, "The Vision 2045 documentary offers a unique insight into graphic packaging and some of the environmental and economic considerations that motivate and inspire us. We are proud to be part of this globally focused project given in support of the United Nations and the SDGs. The goals and intentions of the initiative closely mirror those of our own Vision 2025, which includes several ambitious targets that we are committed to achieving."
