Cooperative identity and social engagement
Social responsibility has been part of ULMA Packaging identity since the origins. As a cooperative, the company was founded with the aim of generating employment, prosperity and development in the society.
In line with this cooperative spirit, a significant percentage of the results of the business activity is returned to society through the Contribution for Cooperative Education and Promotion and Other Public Interest Purposes.
By joining the United Nations Global Compact, ULMA Packaging joins thousands of companies around the world that are committed to promoting responsible business initiatives to contribute to sustainable development, leading the transition towards a more responsible, inclusive and environmentally respectful business model.
