Covering approximately 100 indicators per industry, the ISS ESG Corporate Rating is an annual rating based on a broad range of ESG as well as sector-specific factors, including environmental impacts of production, resource-conserving production, responsible sourcing of raw materials, packaging life cycle, and product safety for the packaging industry. Berry’s Prime rating was driven by a wide variety of efforts, including increased transparency in the Company’s 2021 Impact Report, external assurance of its science-based greenhouse gas emissions reduction target, and implementation of additional ESG policies (e.g. a modern Global Code of Business Ethics in 25 languages, Restricted Substances List, and Environmental Management).
Berry also received a top-decile Governance QualityScore from ISS, ESG based on over 260 factors across Board Structure, Compensation, Shareholder Rights, and Audit and Risk Oversight. Berry’s Governance score in the first decile indicates the Company has higher quality governance practices and lower governance risk compared to other publicly traded companies.
