Our People

Our purpose starts with people.

Pregis and Uzima team members distributed 220 water filters to locals in Nakuru, Kenya.

We support a variety of causes that matter to our people and invest in programs that inspyre our teams to give back – whether through local outreach, education, advocacy or products with purpose. As a company, we are committed to help solve water and food insecurities through our philanthropic efforts.

Charity and volunteering are embedded in the culture of Pregis, from our company-wide goals and Pregis Inspyre™ product donations, to facility-level initiatives driven by our passionate team. I’m always inspired by the generosity of the One Pregis family and our dedication to impacting lives beyond our walls.
