EcoVadis, a provider of business sustainability ratings, recently recognized Golden West Packaging Group, an independent manufacturer of custom packaging products, with a silver medal for 2023.
The EcoVadis Medals Program recognizes eligible companies that have demonstrated a strong management system that addresses sustainability criteria and that have completed an assessment process. EcoVadis awards medals based on scores in four sustainability themes: Environment, ethics, labor and human rights, and sustainability procurement.
The silver medal designation means Golden West is among the top 20 percent of companies, regardless of industry, that participated in the program over the past 12 months.
“Receiving the EcoVadis Silver Medal recognition is a significant milestone for our company and a reflection of our steadfast commitment to sustainability,” Craig Reese, Golden West Packaging CEO, said. “This achievement underscores our dedication to integrating eco-friendly and responsible practices into every facet of our business, from product design and development to supply chain management and our Golden West culture built on ethics and inclusion.”
Golden West is the largest mill-independent provider of customized post-print corrugated boxes and folding cartons on the West Coast.
“We believe that accountability in our operations is not just good for the environment but also a crucial aspect of delivering value to our customers and partners,” Reese said.
