Responsible Sourcing
Rigorous responsibility.
We want our customers to know that they can use WestRock products and services with confidence. We employ rigorous policies and procedures to ensure that we meet or exceed all relevant external standards for quality and safety, and meet our own standards for integrity and excellence.
Our economic responsibilities begin with our commitment to rewarding shareholders and employees while delivering value for our customers. We seek to create opportunity and improved quality of life in every country and community where we do business.
Our human rights principles recognize and respect the rights of our employees, including the choice of union affiliation. In fact, our open and constructive relationship with union leadership allows us to work to find solutions to issues of mutual interest.
WestRock requires all of its suppliers to comply with the applicable laws, legal requirements and regulations of the countries where they do business, without the use of forced labor or child labor. WestRock has established a comprehensive set of standards for suppliers called the WestRock Principles of Conduct. The Principles are our global sourcing guidelines, and the foundation of our supplier approval process, which includes review and verification of the relevant information we ask from our suppliers.

Legal entity rationalization
WestRock’s vision is to be the premier partner and unrivaled provider of winning solutions for our customers. As WestRock has grown to become one of the largest paper and packaging companies in the world, the number of our legal entities that do business with you has also grown.
To simplify doing business with WestRock, we have begun rationalizing our legal entity structure in the United States. The initial step of this effort is a minor modification to our subsidiary legal entity structure and a slight change of certain legal entity names. While these changes do not change the terms of our business relationship with you, there are some things you need to know.
