Gouvernance, politiques et partenariats

We integrate sustainability principles into all levels of our organization. The Board of Directors receives annual updates from the Vice President, Chief of Marketing and Sustainability Officer on behalf of our 17-member Sustainability Steering Committee. The Committee, which includes ten representatives from Greif’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and seven representatives from the Sustainability Management Team (SMT), is tasked with further integrating sustainability into our strategy and operations, reviewing our sustainability progress and priorities quarterly and ensuring accountability at all levels of our organization. The Board holds the Sustainability Committee accountable for reaching annual goals and determines the level of funding for Greif’s sustainability programs. The Steering Committee guides the activities of our Sustainability Management Team, which works with topic teams consisting of representatives from each region and business unit to drive facility level projects and priorities. The Leadership Council, comprised of the top leaders of the Company, prioritized and focused on ESG in 2021. The Council took ownership of ESG initiatives and steps to further integrate sustainability into the organization and determined action items to advance and accelerate sustainability initiatives. In 2021, we integrated ESG KPIs into different performance review systems. The KPIs were included in the monthly Greif Business Systems (GBS) book, the Must Win Battle (MWB) scorecard and in the CEO’s enterprise scorecard. We also included the ESG KPIs in our monthly and quarterly slide decks which managers use to keep their teams accountable. By linking ESG KPIs to performance we aim to encourage sustainability principles at all levels of the organization.
