DEI
We are so fortunate to be alive in an era when driving real positive change is at the top of every mind. Sustainability is only one half of the equation. The other half, probably the most important half, is people. Talking a big game isn’t enough; we’re committed to empowering voices of every background and ethnicity across our global operations.
Too often, DEI is treated as a box to check. But incorporating DEI meaningfully into any company is an ongoing, thought-driven process. Here are some of the organizations that have been instrumental in helping us with this goal:
WBENC advocates for women business owners nationwide, promoting diversity, innovation, and partnerships. They provide essential certification for women-owned businesses and offer entrepreneurial training, education, networking opportunities, and mentorship to help companies succeed and grow. They bridge the gap — through access to opportunities that accelerate growth.
Pronghorn is revolutionizing the spirits industry by investing in Black-owned brands, helping them grow and achieve their business goals. Their comprehensive support extends beyond financial investment, offering mentorship and career opportunities to foster a more inclusive industry ecosystem.
Women of the Vine & Spirits is a global membership organization committed to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the wine, beer, and spirits industry. They support business development and innovation, empowering members to succeed through educational programs, networking, mentorship, and initiatives focused on DE&I and BD&I.
WBEC East’s Under-40 Entrepreneurs
Jessica Knee, our Business Administration Manager, is a charter member of the Next Gen committee, a WBEC East initiative focused on empowering the next generation of women entrepreneurs. This committee is dedicated to building a supportive community through resources, mentorship, and events tailored for women in business. Focusing on innovation and inclusivity, NextGen is pivotal for aspiring female entrepreneurs aiming to make their mark.
The work never stops! But we knew where we wanted to start. That’s why we’ve teamed up with visionary women-led businesses whose expert production practices and superior execution are redefining the industry.
As the only women-owned global packaging company, we treat each branch not as a separate company but as part of the whole. The same resources, attention, and care are given to our locations in the USA, Mexico, Italy, and India to ensure that we can provide the best possible attention to our clients, wherever they are in the world.
