We continue to develop new offerings in ourhealthcare product lines. For packaging, thattranslates to easy-to-open and senior friendly, butalso child resistant packaging.

We are also expanding our Phillipsburg, New Jersey,facility by 150,000+ sq. ft. By updating and investingin this northeastern U.S. facility, we can better serveour global healthcare customers.

In May, we announced a significant capitalinvestment in our Health, Hygiene, and Specialtiesbusiness that will increase our capacity by over16,000 metric tons. The products from this divisionare used in items such as diapers, incontinencepads, and other healthcare products.

Extending shelf life is a good way to help fresh foodsstay viable longer. In support of this, we continue todevelop new types of barrier packaging that canhelp with shelf life extension.

Delivering customer preferred productswith lower resource requirements is acritical part of our Sustainability andSocial Responsibility efforts. In theHealth, Hygiene, and SpecialtiesDivision, we are very proud of our workto reduce environmental impact.We’ve delivered incredible results thatwere more than double our 2016energy intensity reduction targets.

Jason PaladinoExecutive Vice President,

Innovation

At Berry, innovation is not just about creating new products; it is also aboutadvancing our processes and platforms.

Jason Paladino, the Executive Vice President of Innovation for the ConsumerPackaging Division at Berry, manages a team of talented Engineers, Scientists,Technicians, Designers, and Marketers all focused on the common goal ofinnovation through the use of our Innovation Blueprint. The InnovationBlueprint is designed to focus on the end-consumers needs as we movethrough the product development stages: Envision, Develop, Scale, andLaunch – all with validation touchpoints throughout.

Innovation Blueprint

“ Sustainability is a fundamental design principal considered during the "Envision" stage of any project atBerry. Optimizing designs for the lowest cost, selecting environmentally responsible materials, andchoosing efficient production methods while still meeting functional requirements are part of ourconsiderations. These decisions at the very onset of a project ensure that the final product has lowmaterial impact and that 'end-of-life' meets the desired sustainability objectives. One example of this isVersalite®, which was conceptualized during "Envision" as an insulating material that was also recyclable.Berry commercialized this innovation, and now offers it to the market as an environmentally responsible,recyclable, polypropylene, insulated cup.

Feel GoodWe believe in the importance of continuous improvement.We strive to ensure that our actions help our employeesfeel good about knowing they are working in a safe andethically-sound environment; our communities feel goodas we implement initiatives to minimize our environmentalfootprint; and our investors feel good knowing that wemake solid business decisions to protect their investments.

In this same vein, we continuously strive to advance oursustainability reporting. Two years ago, we published ourfirst Corporate Social Responsibility report, which includedgoals for reducing our environmental impacts in severalkey areas: electricity, natural gas, water, greenhouse gas,and landfill waste intensity.

Last year, we published our second report, which, for thefirst time, included year-over-year performance in each ofthe aforementioned areas.

”

This year, we are moving toward reporting information on a broader range of topics and doing soaccording to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework. This will provide additional informationwhich interests many of our stakeholders. We are disclosing this information in hopes of being a soundcorporate citizen and to ensure that all of our stakeholders feel good about our transparency. As this isour first year in working towards full GRI reporting, we are beginning with a limited scope of GRIdisclosures. As with everything wedo, we plan to continuouslyimprove our efforts in this area andincrease our disclosures in thecoming years.

These additional disclosures willbe published in a separate GRIIndex found on berryglobal.com.

Darin WestEngineering Manager

Homer, Louisiana

As our facility footprint continues to grow, we are conscious that our energy usewill increase as well. Energy is an aspect of the business that Berry is focusedon to maximize our efficiency globally.

Provided as an example are the results achieved by one our EngineeredMaterial Division facilities in Homer, Louisiana. This year's energy conservationactions reduced their electrical intensity from 1.92 kWh / lb (2015) to 1.59 kWh /lb (2016).

Plant Engineer, Darin West, helped drive Homer's energy intensity reductionactivities with several projects including chiller system improvements, lightingretrofits, and eliminating phantom load by implementing energy managementsystem controls.

Energy Reduction

Berry’s Homer,

Louisiana, facility

has reduced

their electrical

intensity by 17%

Homer’s most impactful improvement came through analyzing their HVACchiller performance. They replaced old, inefficient chillers with modern, high-efficiency systems. Chiller loop system piping improvements helped to betterutilize chilled water. In addition, several key components on the chillers wereupgraded, repaired, and replaced. Moreover, programmable touch screencontrols were upgraded.

The combined impact of all of these changes allow Homer to cycle offcooling circuits more frequently and avoid running un-needed compressorcapacity for about eight months of the year. With the exception of the hotsummer months, Homer has reduced 465 tons of chiller capacity throughthese actions.

We know the best path for creating a strong future for all of our stakeholders isthrough embracing and understanding the importance of diversity andinclusion.

By doing so, we are able to learn from the unique talents and perspectives thateach of our employees brings to the organization. This, in turn, fostersinnovation and supports our drive for continuous improvement.

In support of this, we launched Plugged In Diversity and Inclusion network at ourEvansville, Indiana, and Charlotte, North Carolina, facilities. Plugged Inregularly hosts programming and resources to ensure that our employees areequipped with the best skills and knowledge to grow personally andprofessionally. In 2017, we will be making the programming available to all ofour facilities.

My team and I are often asked, ‘What does good look like in regards tosafety.’ Statistically speaking, Berry’s safety is good – our incident rate is farbelow the industry average. But at Berry, we do not view safety as a merestatistical comparison with our peers. We view good safety as a journeywhere together we are continually improving our practices to help usfurther ensure the safety of each other and the safety of our products.

A key tool is our EHS framework, which consists of 20 key elements aroundwhich each of our facilities conduct a self audit. Through this process, thefacilities are able to identify their strengths and areas for improvement.And, by having the framework as a global tool, our facilities are able tocollaborate with each other, share best practices, and together makeBerry an even safer place for our employees.

In 2016, we held our first annual Global Earth Day Scholarship Program,through which we awarded six deserving high school students a one-time$1000 scholarship. As part of the program, each student prepared andexecuted a sustainability project and submitted a report of their efforts, asdetailed below.

While Live United is a slogan for the United Way – Living United is also howwe feel we should interact with the communities in which we have facilities.

In that spirit, Berry has chosen the United Way as an organization in theUnited States for which we match employees’ monetary donations. Bydoing so, we are able to assist a variety of charities across the nation, whoin turn provide a hand up to those in need.

In addition to monetary donations, through the United Way, employeesvolunteer their time by assisting with the preparation of taxes for low-income residents, serving on the Agency’s allocations committee,participating in the organization’s Day of Caring, and much more.

In Evansville, Indiana, Curt Begle, President of our Engineered MaterialsDivision, chaired the United Way of Southwestern Indiana’s (UWSWI) 2016Campaign. Through this campaign, the UWSWI raised more than $4.6million.
