The New York Times recently shared one conscious consumer’s concerns about how his online shopping habit impacts the environment. His sentiments are something we’ve all likely experienced. We click, we buy, and like magic - a box shows up. Or two boxes. Or three. It’s an amazing feat of modern commerce, but it also creates very real waste. Whether this makes you feel guilt - or maybe just a little bit frustrated - you’re not alone.

Together we think differently, together we stop world hunger
By Karl Deily
The global food supply consistently produces enough food to feed every single person in the world. And yet, nearly 1 billion people are undernourished and another 1 billion are going hungry every year.
Last month, world leaders met at the United Nations to define the sustainable development agenda through 2030. This is important, because there is tremendous power in coming together across 193 countries to discuss what it takes to build a world we can all live and thrive in.
Today on World Food Day, Sustainable Development goal #2—End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture—is especially meaningful.

Since our company’s founding, Sealed Air has provided solutions for our customers and solutions for the world. From the start, Bubble Wrap was truly revolutionary both as a product and as a value proposition. It could reduce total packaging cost by using less material, reduce packaging size and weight, and reduce loss from damage. In other words, it promoted sustainability long before it was fashionable.
Today, we have grown far beyond Bubble Wrap. We employ more than 24,000 employees, operate 145 manufacturing facilities, and have 35 packaging and equipment design centers. We generate roughly 7.8 billion dollars of business in more than 175 countries primarily through three divisions.

Earlier this year, you saw the launch of Sealed Air’s Better Way for Life Plan and 2020 Sustainability Goals. As you would expect, a lot of work was done behind the scenes to set such aggressive commitments. To make sure we weren’t creating a strategy in a vacuum, we collected feedback from suppliers, customers, and non-governmental organizations to gain valuable insights and identify the most material issues to the company and our key stakeholders. The results were Sealed Air’s first materiality assessment and matrix.
We conducted extensive research with both Sealed Air employees and external experts in surveys and interviews. The participation rate and highly engaged feedback from partners reinforced the importance of the work.
