Sustainability statement

Piedmont National Corporation is committed to supporting a more sustainable environment. Our goal is to implement reusable, recyclable, and responsible initiatives both internally and through proactive consultation with our customers. We have taken strides towards the pursuit of long-term sustainability internally.

Sustainability goes beyond providing eco-friendly products and sourcing responsible suppliers. We believe that true sustainability involves optimizing every aspect of your packaging process to maximize output while minimizing input. Our advanced automation solutions are designed to streamline your entire packaging operation; reducing waste, damages and freight costs.

Product damage is a crucial aspect of sustainability that is often overlooked. A material that does not seem sustainable on its own could be the best choice for your operation if it offers better protection and cuts down damages.

With our comprehensive sustainability audit, our team can evaluate your current processes and recommend the optimal materials and strategies to reduce waste, lower costs, and enhance efficiency. Whether it’s selecting the right high-recycled content

films/tapes, or implementing innovative cushioning solutions, we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs and sustainability goals.

Partner with Piedmont National to discover how our holistic approach can transform your packaging operations into a model of efficiency and environmental responsibility.

We leverage EcoVadis to rigorously evaluate our vendors and benchmark our own sustainability initiatives. This comprehensive assessment helps us ensure that all our partners align with our environmental, social, and ethical standards, promoting a sustainable and responsible supply chain.
