Graphic Packaging Holding Company announced that Michelle M. Fitzpatrick, Ph.D., will join the company as its first chief sustainability officer. Graphic Packaging has had a long-standing commitment to running operations in a sustainable manner and has continued to advance environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs at the company to benefit all stakeholders. The company's consumer packaging solutions are inherently sustainable, are made from renewable and recyclable materials and support the move to a more circular economy.
The appointment of Fitzpatrick is another step in the company's pursuit of Vision 2025 and reflects awareness of the critical nature of sustainable business practices to achieve those goals. Graphic Packaging has made great strides executing ESG programs and initiatives, including the coated recycled board mill optimization project that will ramp in the fourth quarter of 2021, and helping customers achieve their ESG aspirations with new, innovative and more circular packaging alternatives.
“We are committed to a world-class sustainability program and executing improvements to our reporting, ensuring transparency and focusing on topics that matter most to investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders,” said Michael Doss, president and CEO of Graphic Packaging. “Michelle brings a wealth of industry knowledge and environmental engineering expertise."
Most recently, Fitzpatrick served as the global sustainability leader at The Chemours Company, and has previously held roles within the Titanium Technologies business segment and the corporate remediation function.
