Greif Named to America’s Most Responsible Companies List 2025

For the sixth year in a row, Newsweek has recognized Greif as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies in 2025!

The award has been issued for the industry of Materials & Chemicals. It is a testament to Greif’s dedication to doing what’s right—from environmental stewardship and community support to responsible operations. It demonstrates our leadership in driving positive change.

Thank you to our entire team for making a positive difference and helping Greif remain an excellent corporate citizen.

The America’s Most Responsible Companies 2025 ranking looks at the three pillars of Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG). The ranking is based on two main points:

KPI Research: Over 30 Performance Indicators have been researched for the top 2,000 public companies (by revenue; with their headquarters in the USA).

Survey: 26,000 US residents were surveyed to evaluate the companies’ CSR reputation. Respondents were asked to select companies familiar to them and then to evaluate the company’s CSR performance in general and in the three subdimensions: social, environmental, and governance.
