Our Purpose
Enhancing Lives
Reducing waste, eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, shrinking the wealth gap – CNG defines success in these terms, by the number of lives we positively affect. It’s our highest ambition – a goal that sets our course as a company and gives meaning to our work across four pillars:
People
Through ownership, we empower our people to fulfill our commitments and contribute to reducing the wealth gap.
Planet
From the design of our products to the management of our facilities, we lead with sustainable solutions that lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce waste.
Communities
Our sustainable products extend shelf life and help deliver fresh food all over the world. We continue to invest in communities where we live and work through our Community Giving Fund.
Customers
We pursue our mission of providing best-in-class material science solutions, and deliver on our promise to accelerate our customers’ business growth.
Our Vision
Providing Solutions for a Better World
Our pillars are not just an explanation of our purpose but a lens through which we view the world and explore how specialty films, material science solutions, and community involvement enhance lives. They are a roadmap that we follow every day as we chart our course toward a better tomorrow.
Our Mission
Delivering Best-in-Class Material Science Solutions
Expertise in material science allows CNG to address critical challenges across industries. Our solutions preserve food, reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, address the wage gap, and protect the environment through advanced materials and continuous innovation. As material science experts, we are committed to advancing sustainability, circularity, and a low-carbon future.
Our Values
The Guiding Principles that Define CNG
