Por que a excelência no atendimento ao cliente é importante
Customer service is at the heart of everything we do at Greif. For over 145 years, we have partnered with customers on their business journeys, meeting their expectations to provide exemplary packaging services and solutions. Becoming a partner means understanding our customers’ priorities, needs and impacts along the value chain. Our ability to understand our customers’ urgency and provide accurate information is fundamental to reaching our enhanced standards of providing legendary customer service. All this supports our vision to be the best-performing customer service company in the world.
Governança
The global Marketing function’s Commercial Excellence (ComEx) Team manages our customer service practices and policies. The ComEx Team comprises leaders from each business segment that meet to share best practices, improve communications, drive processes and engage cross-functional leaders. Through cross-functional collaboration, we improve our ability to address each customer’s unique needs. We embed customer service into all Greif roles through a culture of excellence supported by training and other Human Resources programs. The ComEx Team is also responsible for tracking progress on customer satisfaction and customer recommendation likelihood using our Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Net Promoter Score (NPS).
We track every plant’s complaints, delivery times and customer response times through our CSI. Managers review the index monthly during performance reviews. We also look at NPS when conducting our annual performance reviews. We view feedback collected from our NPS survey as an opportunity to address our customers’ concerns and remedy issues when necessary. After each NPS survey, we connect with all respondents and focus on engaging each survey detractor – a customer that rates Greif poorly – to understand their perspective and create improvement plans addressing their concerns. We use the feedback from these engagements, along with proactive engagement, to improve our customer communication to become a more effective partner.
Prêmio Dempsey 2022 de Excelência em Atendimento ao Cliente
Greif’s 2022 Dempsey Award for Customer Service Excellence was awarded to seven teams across our operations for their work delivering best-in-class customer services as measured by our Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) scores and Net Promoter Scores (NPS). From our GIP business unit, we congratulate our teams from Algeria, Egypt, Sweden and the Shanghai LSD plant. Additionally, from PPS, we commend the CorrChoice Concord team and the Recovered Fiber Group in Tallahassee. We congratulate our Global Finance, Data and Analytics Center of Excellence. All Dempsey Award recipients have led by example in our Build to Last Strategy and went above and beyond in contributing to Greif’s goal of becoming the best customer service company in the world.
We utilize tools to improve our efficiency in responding to customer needs and overall customer experience. In 2022, we continued utilizing our global system to prepare customer offers, allowing us to improve pricing consistency and our customer response time. We also continued using a cloud-based sales enablement platform that helps sales and marketing teams create more consistent messaging and to find and share information more efficiently. This year we worked on developing an online customer platform to further improve customer communications, allowing us to deliver a better customer experience. The platform will be tested at select facilities in North America in 2023.
Greif provides customer service excellence (CSE) training to all our professional colleagues. As each colleague advances in the program, peers provide feedback to each other, reinforcing learning and helping to instill the legendary customer service culture we strive for. We offer CSE training in 19 languages through a blended, facilitated and online program. The training tools equip our colleagues to provide legendary customer service for internal and external customers. Additionally, all new hires complete our nine Greif University CSE modules. We will continue developing CSE training for our manufacturing colleagues in 2023, building on this year’s success and learnings of the professional colleagues’ program.
In 2021, we began conducting in-depth market research to identify business growth opportunities and to be a better resource for our customers. From this research, we identified fast-growing industries and engaged with customers to analyze key trends that may impact packaging needs. The information gathered allows us to tailor our products and sales approach to market trends. We bring together Greif’s subject matter experts from across the globe to discuss challenges, solutions and opportunities and share general industry knowledge to encourage growth regularly.
Additionally, we train our colleagues to support our customers’ sustainability targets. We utilize systems like the Greif Green Tool, a tool designed to assist our customers in making informed decisions about which industrial packaging best fits their needs and supports their sustainability goals. Over the last year, we have seen a 69 percent increase in requests for the use of the Greif Green Tool.
TotalEnergies Sustainability Award at Suppliers Day Event
Em novembro de 2022, a Greif recebeu o Prêmio de Sustentabilidade da TotalEnergies para reconhecer nosso desempenho exemplar em sustentabilidade alinhado com seus valores como um parceiro estratégico essencial. Nossa capacidade de fornecer aos nossos clientes soluções de embalagem personalizadas e detalhadas por meio de ferramentas como a Greif Green Tool contribui muito para concretizar nossa visão de ser a empresa de atendimento ao cliente com melhor desempenho do mundo.

Sales leaders continually evaluate the quality of our sales visits through analysis and coaching sessions. We prepare our sales account managers to address customer needs and provide quality visits with our customers. In 2022, we continued to hold virtual meetings and virtual plant tours worldwide, contributing to our strategy’s goal of providing the best service to our customers, informing them about the latest developments and identifying new opportunities. Our webinars covered topics such as sustainability, product deep dives and innovation. Recently, we expanded these tours to our Paper Packaging & Services businesses. Through this virtual approach, we conducted more plant visits in 2022 than ever. In 2022 alone, we hosted seven webinars with a total number of attendees exceeding 700, including 300 first-time attendees. We received positive feedback from those involved, with over 50 percent of attendees participating in more than one webinar.
Metas, Progresso e Desempenho
Our cumulative CSI calculation allows Greif to assess our ability to deliver legendary customer service. To calculate this metric, we utilize the following data: total number of customer complaints, number of complaints open longer than 30 days, number of customer credits, number of late deliveries and number of total deliveries. In 2022, our CSI score was 93.2, the same as in 2021. This steady score shows our success in achieving a high rate of customer satisfaction and places us in a position to soon accomplish our long-term objective for each business segment to achieve a CSI score of 95 or greater.
ÍNDICE DE SATISFAÇÃO DO CLIENTE
In 2022, our annual NPS survey had more than 4,200 respondents, with 71 percent recommending Greif as a supplier. Our NPS score was 65, a 12 percent improvement from last year. NPS also allows customers to provide feedback on specific statements regarding Greif’s offerings and measures customers’ agreements with those statements. Customers recognized our high-performing employees, high-quality products and ability to deliver on specifications as key success factors. We utilize this information to reach back out to customers to begin a dialogue on how we can better serve them in the future. This tool is crucial in strengthening customer relationships and turning detractors into promoters.
PONTUAÇÃO DO PROMOTOR LÍQUIDO*
*Em 2020, a Greif passou a realizar nossa pesquisa NPS uma vez por ano.
Trabalhando com fornecedores e clientes para fornecer soluções circulares
A unidade de reciclagem PPS da Greif em Dalton, Geórgia, trabalha em estreita colaboração com as fábricas locais de fabricação de pisos para fornecer serviços de reciclagem para tubos e núcleos, um fluxo significativo de resíduos produzido pela indústria. Esses mesmos fabricantes de pisos também são clientes dos tubos e núcleos de papelão reciclado da Greif. Quando o preço do papelão ondulado antigo (OCC) caiu em 2019, tornou-se antieconômico reciclar esses tubos e núcleos ao preço de mercado. A Greif se envolveu com os fabricantes de pisos para desenvolver uma solução sustentável e circular que mantém os resíduos fora dos aterros sanitários e permite que a Greif continue fornecendo aos nossos clientes um serviço excelente e papelão 100% reciclado. Sob o novo modelo de negócios, a Greif recebe pagamento pelo gerenciamento de fluxos de resíduos recicláveis, permitindo-nos processar esses materiais e, em seguida, enviá-los para nossas fábricas de papel para fabricar papelão 100% reciclado.
Revestimentos de papel CorrChoice
A CorrChoice GreenGuard fornece aos clientes uma solução de papel revestido reciclável, repolpável e compatível com a FDA. Um cliente importante estava comprando um recipiente corrugado de parede tripla para manter a qualidade dos alimentos. A Greif trabalhou com o cliente para substituir o revestimento de plástico pelo nosso revestimento de papel GreenGuard 200. Essa mudança eliminou a necessidade do revestimento de plástico — economizando tempo e custos de mão de obra para o cliente — e tornou o recipiente de transporte 100% reciclável e repolpável.
PerforMAXXI
Na América Latina, introduzimos o PerforMAXXI, uma solução web usada para rastrear entregas aos clientes e monitorar o desempenho em tempo real. O PerforMAXXI é um aplicativo móvel no telefone do motorista de entrega que fornece aos clientes atualizações sobre onde seu pacote está no processo de entrega. O aplicativo utiliza o Waze ou o Google Maps para auxiliar o motorista e será atualizado para incluir pagamentos digitais de pedágio na segunda fase. O aplicativo também permite a comunicação com o motorista durante toda a viagem, medição precisa da entrega no prazo e comprovante eletrônico de entrega por meio de foto da fatura assinada pelo cliente. O aplicativo agiliza significativamente o processo de comunicação e entrega.
Prêmio Nouryon Fornecedor do Ano
A Greif tem o prazer de receber o prêmio Fornecedor do Ano de 2021 da Nouryon por fornecer excelente suporte durante a pandemia. Fomos reconhecidos por nosso planejamento proativo de continuidade de negócios para o Ekabox, um recipiente de plástico personalizado produzido apenas em Falkenberg, Suécia. Tivemos uma falha no equipamento, no entanto, devido ao nosso gerenciamento de risco e planejamento de continuidade de negócios, conseguimos mover a produção do Ekabox para um fabricante terceirizado. Como resultado, protegemos a Nouryon e os negócios de seus clientes finais sem nenhuma interrupção.
