Graphic Packaging Secures Top-Five Spot in 2026 Corporate Citizen Rankings
Securing the fifth position overall and leading the materials sector, Atlanta-based Graphic Packaging Holding Company has been named to the 2026 100 Best Corporate Citizens list. The ranking evaluates the transparency and performance of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies across environmental, social, and governance metrics.

This latest accolade joins a series of independent honors for the manufacturer in 2026, including recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere and a place among Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies. The 3BL methodology, developed alongside ISS STOXX, assesses 221 factors based solely on publicly available data, ensuring that fewer than 20% of Russell 1000 companies qualify for inclusion over any five-year period.
