They protect what people eat, drink, and use every day… they protect healthcare professionals and their patients… and they protect buildings, transportation, pipelines, and other infrastructure.”

Berry’s mission also encompasses advancing its facilities’ safety practices to protect its employees; advancing sustainability efforts to protect the environment; and, advancing the company’s business strategies to protect the investments of its shareholders.

“Our Values serve as the cornerstone of Berry. The icon in the logo illustrates those four Values: Partnership, Excellence, Growth, and Safety,” said Tom.

  • Partnerships: We recognize the importance of strong, sustainable partnerships throughout all aspects of our business—we view our employees, customers, suppliers, and communities as our partners
  • Excellence: We pursue excellence in all that we do by optimizing our processes, enhancing our sustainability initiatives, and by providing the highest quality products and services to our customers. We believe in continuous training and development for our employees so that we can deliver excellence to our customers
