In 2024 alone, our teams helped achieve measurable reductions in carbon emissions, diverted more waste from landfills, and scaled production of circular materials—all while continuing to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving market," said Kevin Baudhuin, Chairman and CEO of Pregis. "As we look toward the future, our focus remains clear: to create sustainable value for our customers, employees, communities and investors."
