Celebrating Safety Excellence: Ten Plants Recognized with Corrugated Safety Awards

We are proud to share that ten of our plants have been recognized in the 2024 Corrugated Container Industry Annual Report of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, conducted by The Fibre Box Association (FBA) and AICC – The Independent Packaging Association. These prestigious Safety Awards highlight the exceptional commitment our teams continue to make toward ensuring a safe and healthy work environment.

The 2024 report reflects data from over 163 million hours worked at participating facilities—an impressive testament to the scale and dedication of our industry. Among this extensive dataset, our teams stood out for their consistent focus on Environmental Health and Safety (EHS).

The Safety Awards are presented in two categories:

- The Perfect Plant Award – recognizing facilities with zero incidents throughout the year.
- The Safety Excellence Award – honoring plants with no lost workdays due to job-related injury or illness during the calendar year.

We are thrilled to congratulate the following teams for their outstanding achievements:
