Business System defines the way Greif
operates every day. Every employee is
responsible for approaching everything
he or she does with two questions:

Through the methodical, systematic
initiative that is the Greif Business
System, Greif employees keep
building on their knowledge, skills and
abilities to answer those questions
appropriately. And they are empowered
to do something about it.

Business System of continuous improvement to everything we

7. Tri-Sure®
Closures
We developed a new plating process to
apply a thin protective layer on top of
the zinc plating of our closures, which
provides corrosion resistance.This
process is better for the environment
and safer for our employees than the
old process.
GCube
The new GCUBE™ IBC features a
patented valve design that puts only one
material in contact with the filling goods,
which assures high chemical resistance,
eliminates the need for interior gaskets
and O-rings and reduces the probability
of failure or leakages. GCube units comply
with applicable UN/DOT regulations.
Sustainable Product Innovation
We use smart design to minimize
our environmental footprint while
enhancing product integrity and quality.
By conducting Life Cycle Analysis on
our entire product range, we examine
the environmental impact of our
products to make the most meaningful
improvements.We are reducing waste
throughout the design and manufacture
of our products, minimizing the
consumption of natural resources
and using environmentally responsible
materials.
The world has vastly changed since we made our first wooden
barrel in 1877. And so have we.Today, we are developing
products for a greener planet and a better future. Lighter weight
for shipping. Fewer inputs for production. Better materials for
protection. Informed advice for you.
We intend to serve your company’s needs for generations to
come.Together, we can make a world of difference.
Lightweight and durable, our flexible
packaging is cost effective to ship and
takes less space than rigid containers.

our manufacturing processes to make
our packaging better while we use less
energy, less water and fewer materials.
Flexible
EarthMinded
At the end of its life, the best use of an
industrial container is its re-use, which
is why Greif created the world’s largest
industrial container reconditioning
services through its subsidiary
EarthMinded Lifecycle Services.
Innovation driven by our
passion to build a sustainable
company.

manually transport and store household
water in the developing world, offering
