奋起推动更可持续的未来

Mike Doss has been a part of the paper and wood products industry for more than three decades. He fell in love with it after touring a Michigan paper mill and folding carton plant. Seeing recycled paper turned into products used in everyday life opened his eyes.

Today, Doss is the president and chief executive officer of Graphic 包装 International and 十大菠菜软件董事长. He’s still proud to represent this industry, especially because of the sustainability story.

可持续性 doesn’t start and stop with improving the environment. 多斯认为,可持续发展是许多人心中的想法. 当谈到下一代劳动力时, 这是选择职业的首要考虑因素.
“作为一个行业, we are so fortunate that sustainability is at the core of what we do -- people can feel proud to tell their friends and family that they are in the business of making the planet better,”小客栈说. “We must also remember that a sustainable workforce and a sustainable pipeline of diverse talent are also critical components of the employee experience and how our industry is perceived.”
Doss said companies need to do more than simply be committed to diversity and inclusion. Reflecting on the past year, he learned the importance of putting tangible actions behind the words.
“This means we are talking about the importance of it with our employees and leaders, and in some cases being vulnerable and uncomfortable with what we hear. I like to think that every open role in my company represents an opportunity to become a more diverse organization,”小客栈说.
“It also means weaving diversity and inclusion into how we develop leaders and forming affinity groups to ensure that all employees in our industry feel a connection and sense of belonging,”小客栈说. “最后, it’s ensuring that the next generation of leaders can look at the leadership teams of any company in our industry, see themselves as part of that team and have something to aspire to.
