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.
2021 marks the third consecutive year Sonoco has been included on Barron’s list.
According to Sonoco, Calvert Research and Management reviews 230 indicators of 1,000 companies – involving economic, environmental, governance and social attributes – to arrive at Barron’s list.
“We are honored to once again be included in both of these prestigious lists,” said Howard Coker, president and CEO of Sonoco. “At Sonoco, we are committed to creating sustainable products, services and programs for our customers, employees and communities that support our corporate purpose of 'Better Packaging.
