Graphic Packaging Holding Co

Graphic Packaging Holding Co. establishes a clear governance framework for climate-related engagement by assigning oversight to its Vice President of Government Affairs and embedding climate policy into its strategic planning processes. As the company explains, "Graphic Packaging's VP of Government Affairs provides strategic direction and ensures that the direct and indirect activities regarding climate change policies are consistent with the strategy," and this strategy "is reviewed formally each year and on an ad hoc basis." Senior leadership engagement is evident in that "Graphic Packaging's President and CEO and other members of the Executive Team participate in policy discussions at Federal and State levels," while environmental and climate change considerations are incorporated into the long-range plan, which "is presented to the Board of Directors for its consideration and approval." However, the company does not disclose a public commitment to align its engagement with the goals of the Paris Agreement, noting only that it plans to have one in the next two years, and it provides no details on monitoring or managing the climate positions of trade associations or external partners, highlighting areas where its governance could be strengthened.
