New White Paper: Master Consumer Behavior at the Shelf
At O-I, our vision is to be the most innovative, sustainable, and chosen supplier of brand-building packaging solutions. While we believe glass packaging is already the most sustainable packaging solution, sustainability at O-I is about more than what we make.
It is also about how we make it through the interconnected ecosystem that involves our suppliers, our customers, our people, and the communities where we operate. We released updated goals in 2025 to further demonstrate our commitment to sustainable glass manufacturing.
At O-I, the journey to this balance—sustainability—is grounded in resilience, innovation, and the ever-present challenge to transform what we do.
