Sonoco was selected for FORTUNE magazine’s World’s Most Admired Companies list for 2021 and as one of Barron’s 100 Most Sustainable Companies in the US.
Executives, directors and analysts rate companies in their industry on nine attributes considered critical to a company’s global success, according to Sonoco.
In the current survey, Sonoco ranked second overall in the Packaging/Container industry.
