Newsweek Names Berlin Packaging as One of America’s Greenest Companies 2025

Berlin Packaging announced that it has been recognized as one of America’s Greenest Companies 2025 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group, and in collaboration with GIST Impact.

The ranking recognizes the top 500 companies in the US based on environmental sustainability, and only companies that meet the European Union’s stringent sustainability criteria – considered the most advanced globally – were eligible for consideration.

Recognition as one of America’s Greenest Companies solidifies Berlin Packaging’s commitment to driving positive impact for both people and the planet, which is reflected across every aspect of the business.

In June, Berlin Packaging released its 2023 Sustainability Report: Unpacking Sustainability Impact, highlighting accomplishments including but not limited to the following:
• Berlin Packaging has enabled more than 30 brands to enhance their sustainable packaging strategy, including product launches with sustainability attributes.
• During the calendar year 2023, Berlin Packaging sold 12,000+ metric tons of recycled plastic and glass, reducing the amount of virgin material used in packaging
• In 2023, Berlin Packaging reduced Scope 1 emissions by 21% and Scope 2 emissions by 6%, making strides towards their carbon emissions reduction goals

“This recognition is a tremendous validation of Berlin’s approach to Sustainability,” said Bill Hayes, Berlin Packaging’s global CEO and president. “It starts with the values we hold of protecting our people and planet – the role we play and the impact we can make. Sustainability is not only a moral and social imperative but an open door to redefining what is possible.”

“Our team is collectively focused on a shared sustainability purpose and achieving real impact at scale,” said Balaji Jayaseelan, VP of sustainability at Berlin Packaging. “This recognition serves as proof that we’re moving in the right direction.”
