In response to increasing environmental concerns, sustainability has become a driving force in shaping global packaging trends, and Bay Cities is at the forefront.  

## **A Symbiotic Relationship**

Sustainability goes beyond benefitting the planet; consumers want to support companies that possess a sense of corporate social responsibility, and employees want to work for companies whose values align with their own. That is to say, According to the National Retail Federation, 77% of consumers find it "moderately important” and/or “extremely important” to look for brands that are sustainable and/or environmentally responsible. Additionally, in a [survey](https://www.forbes.com/sites/josiecox/2023/02/15/despite-economic-headwinds-employees-still-want-to-work-for-companies-that-care/?sh=212b1a0c6d20) of 2,000 employees in the U.S., commissioned by Paul Polman (former Unilever CEO), 76% of respondents indicated that they want to work for a company that is trying to have a positive impact on the world.  

## **Go Green With Us **

The principles of sustainability are at the core of everything we do. It all starts with what our company is built around: our corrugated packaging products, which are widely recognized as the most eco-friendly packaging option.  

One of the cornerstones of our sustainability practices is our use of corrugate that is 100% recyclable and made from 99% post-consumer waste. This not only reduces the demand for new raw materials but also diverts waste from landfills, contributing to a circular economy. Additionally, our packing is created with longevity in mind, as each of our boxes has up to seven lives. 

While a trademark of our business is creativity in design, this is not at the sacrifice of sustainability. Instead, we ensure environmentally friendly techniques with the use of water-based adhesives and inks. 

## **From the Ground Up**

Even before the production process starts, Bay Cities takes into account sustainability. With a McKinsey survey showing that 66% of respondents are either “very concerned” or “extremely concerned ” about deforestation, they will be relieved to know that, among our various accreditations, we are certified by the [Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®).](https://fsc.org/en) This literal stamp of approval guarantees that [our products come from forests that are managed sustainably according to FSC®’s rigorous criteria](https://blog.bay-cities.com/blog/responsible-forestry-with-fsc-certifications). Furthermore, to counteract our use of natural resources, for every tree used in our production of packaging, we plant 7 more in its place. 

Packaging has become not only a vessel for products but a reflection of values, innovation, and a commitment to a more sustainable future. At Bay Cities, we’re not just looking out for our bottom line; we’re looking out for our employees and the planet.
