Sustainability Governance & Policies

Sustainability is integral to how we create long-term value for our customers, colleagues, communities and shareholders. From our origins in apothecary packaging to today’s advanced packaging and medication dispensing solutions, we have remained focused on protecting health, enabling informed decisions and advancing well-being.

We embed sustainability into how we operate, innovate and grow through responsible sourcing, safe and inclusive workplaces, environmental stewardship, ethical business practices and partnerships with suppliers who share our commitment to continuous improvement.

Governance

Corporate Responsibility

Responsibility for sustainability at Jones Healthcare Group begins with our President & CEO and Principal, Corporate Development, who are accountable for aligning shareholder expectations with business strategy.

As business leaders and shareholders, they provide direct oversight of our sustainability commitments.

Sustainability leadership is managed by a dedicated team of experts who report directly to the President & CEO and Principal, Corporate Development. This team is responsible for sustainability strategy, external assessments and performance reporting.

Delivery of sustainability initiatives is embedded throughout the organization. Business unit and central function leaders are accountable for implementing projects aligned with our three core commitments:

  • Climate action and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction
  • Social responsibility
  • Sustainable innovation and circular design

Oversight of human rights and broader social policy elements falls under the leadership of the Senior Vice President, Human Resources.

Our Sustainability Policy is reviewed annually by the Senior Leadership Team and formally approved by the President & CEO.

Corporate Disclosure

Jones participates in leading supply chain sustainability assessments to ensure transparency and accountability in our practices. We disclose our environmental and social performance through:

  • EcoVadis, which evaluates companies across environment, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement.
  • Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which assesses climate-related impacts, risk management and emissions reduction strategies.

These disclosures provide customers and stakeholders with consistent, comparable insights into our sustainability performance based on recognized international standards.

Science-Based Targets

In 2026, Jones Healthcare Group’s near-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a globally recognized organization that assesses corporate climate targets against the latest climate science.

Our validated targets include:

  • Reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 43.26% by 2030 from a 2023 base year.
  • Reducing Scope 3 emissions from upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, and downstream transportation and distribution by 25% by 2030 from a 2023 base year.
  • Ensuring 72% of suppliers by emissions associated with purchased goods and services have science-based targets by 2030.

These targets help guide our climate strategy, investment decisions, operational improvements and supplier engagement activities as we work to reduce our environmental impact and support a lower-carbon future.

Materiality

We focus our sustainability efforts on the areas where we can make the greatest impact as a provider of advanced packaging and medication dispensing solutions.

These material topics inform and guide our sustainability strategy, ensuring we address the needs of key stakeholders while building long-term organizational resilience.

Our materiality assessment was guided by the SASB Materiality Map for the Containers & Packaging sector. This framework was further refined through stakeholder engagement and insights from our participation in EcoVadis and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

The result is a focused set of priorities that reflects both industry standards and the real-world expectations of those we serve.
