Vision 2016 Sustainability Goals

2

Notes:Baseline 2008• GHG (Tons / $1,000 Sales)• Energy (MMBTU/$1,000 Sales)• Water (Gallons Effluent / Saleable Ton)

• GHG by 15% • Energy procured by 15%• Water (effluent) by 15%• Safety incidence rate by 50%

• Certified fiber procured from 20% to 25% • Support 2020 industry goal to increase

paper recycling to 70%



GPI Sustainability Performance Dashboard

2016 Target (except where noted) Progress through 2012 (base year 2008 unless otherwise noted)

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions – (metric tonnes C02e/$1,000 sales)

-15% -10.9%

Reduce Non-renewable Energy - (MMBTU/$1,000 sales)

-15% -14.4%

Water Conservation - Reduce Water Effluent – Mills - (1,000 Gal/ton)

-15% -13.3%

Safety Reduce Lost Time Incident Rate - (from base of 2011)

-50% -18%

Increase Certified Fiber Purchased (from base of 2011 of 20%)

25% 21%

Increase recovery of paper and paperboard by 2020

GPI is supporting the industry goal of achieving a recovery rate of 70% by

2020

Making an Environmental Impact



Renew Recycle Recover

Compost

Fibers that are no longer effective are filtered out and can be used for other commercial purposes

• Compost• Filler for cement

Sources:1- US Forest Service2 - EPA3 - National Recycling Coalition

Our packaging has a strong environmental story

SUS®

• Sustainably managed Pine forests• Renewable resource• Renewable energy• Engineered for moist

environments• Recyclable

• Trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere• For every tree that is harvested, 4 are planted 1

• 12 million more acres of forest land than 20 years ago 1

86% of Americans have access to recycling programs 3

Paper and Paperboard - one of the highest recovered materials at 65% 2

Paperboard recovery is 50% 2CRB

• 100% recycled fibers • Designed dry grocery products• Recyclable• Methane avoidance• Paperboard can be recycled many times



Renewable EnergySignificantly Offsets our Carbon Footprint

GPI ENERGY PROFILE

Renewable Energy53%

Fossil Fuel47%



A New Approach

GPI leading industry to create a recycled board certification that:

• Provides substantiation for recovered fiber• Does not confuse consumers like Forest Certifications do• Is focused on a single function – validating the recovered material claims• Will not distinguish between pre and post-consumer• Available Q1 ‘14



Improving Our World: Biomass

Macon Mill conversion to 100% Biomass energy a carbon-neutral, renewable energy source

• $80M investment - high-efficiency biomass boiler and 40 megawatt turbine generator

• CO2(e) emissions reduced 200k tons per year• Excess electricity will be placed on grid• Selling renewable energy credits• Complete ‘Q2 2013

There’s enough energy produced to power more than 27,000 homes annually!

The greenhouse gas reduction is equal to the emissions of approx. 35,000 cars annually.

66%

The number of households in

Macon, GA that could be poweredwith this energy1

The Benefits of Biomass Include:



Energy Management – ConvertingReducing Purchased Energy

Comprehensive Demand Management Initiative

Goals:• Train GPI personnel to understand the energy flow by mapping it, increase

awareness, measure and implement on-going solutions• Reduce energy demand

Followed structured approach - 4 Phase Energy Audit Process:• Data Collection • Measurement Workshop • On-site measurement • Solutions Workshop

Results:• Reduced energy by 8% - 2,150 MGW annually• Identified largest energy users at each facility and prioritized - 4 represented 85%• Developed procedures for smart energy use• Plot energy use by shift and usage event by day and events



Water ConservationRecycling Water to Help the Community

Sparta Reuse Project

• Collaborative project with city of West Monroe, LA and GPI to generate EPA and FDA quality reused / recycled water

• Serves 16 parishes in NE Louisiana – 800,000 people• Draw of 18M gallons a day more than the aquifer was being replenished

– GPI 10M a day• Innovative water recycling system developed (first and only in the US)

Results: • Reduced Aquifer overdraw by 40% - additional work to achieve 60%

underway• GPI’s draw from the Aquifer reduced 50% - 5M gallons per day• Virtually all waste water in West Monroe is reused• Awards:

• WMonroe recognized with EPA Pisces Award• Sustainable Solutions Award LA Water Environment Association• White House recognized the mayor with Champions of Change Award

Environmental Impact

16% reduction in paper tons annually• 30,000,000 pounds of fiber saved

• Fiber reduction enough cartons to wrap the earth at the equator

32% reduction in CO2 emissions • 50,000,000 pounds of CO2 eliminated

• Equivalent 3,800 passenger cars

37.8% Reduction in Energy• 307,000mj saved

• Equivalent to the power needs of 6,600 homes annually

20% Reduction in Distribution Miles• 880,000 miles eliminated annual

• Diesel savings of 170,000 gallons / yr
