assess residual wastes and plastics.
LOCAL INITIATIVES
In 2021, when we conducted our Global Giving
Survey, we identified a few notable environmental
initiatives completed by teams at our sites
around the world. For example, in June of 2021,
Tupperware Austria planted one new tree for every
new consultant, totaling 165 new consultants
and trees through Wald4Leben. Additionally, in
Mexico, Tupperware planted 200 new trees for the
reforestation of Sierra Morelos Park.
“As a company with products that allow consumers to reduce their own single-use plastic
consumption, we also have the responsibility to look internally and lead by example. We are
exploring alternatives to reduce our reliance on plastic poly bags, and we are being intentional
about the decisions we make so we can truly reduce our plastic waste as well as the overall
energy and emissions intensity of our products and processes.”
Josh Decktor
Global Head, Environmental Social Governance and Sustainability
In 2021, informed by our materiality assessment, we revised our environmental targets for our manufacturing
operations and product lifecycles, and we now commit to the following:

E-Learning
Launched in October 2021, Tupperware Associates at
the level of Manager and above were provided access
to our e-learning platform, offering them more than
16,000 courses to help our Associates learn and grow
professionally and personally.
• United States: In response to Hurricane Ida, which impacted the southeast with flooding and damage, with many
residents being displaced, the USCA Sales, Marketing and Procurement Teams donated Tupperware products
to those in need. Business Leaders and their teams from the Louisiana area helped distribute Tupperware
product in partnership with non-profit organization, Convoy of Hope, which allowed affected families to restock
their homes in the rebuilding phases. 75,735 pieces of Tupperware products were provided with a retail value
of $882,997.
• China: In late July 2021, Henan province experienced the worst flooding, lots of cities & counties were inundated.
On August 13, 2021, Tupperware China donated 2,000 ECO+ bottles (with an in-kind value of $9,000) to Junxian
County through Henan Women and Children Development Foundation, to help affected women and children
reduce the possible diseases caused by drinking water from unhealthy containers
• Greece: In early August, Greece faced devastating wildfires that displaced many from their homes, destroying
forests, homes and businesses.

We also strive to stay up-to-date on the issues that matter to our global work force. This past year, we worked to
support our Associates affected by the war in Ukraine and provided opportunities for employees to send individual
donations and other forms of aid.
I wanted to share a quick story from our field teams about a recent recovery event we hosted in Louisiana
with some remaining Tupperware® products we had in inventory. I had a chance to speak with [my contact]
yesterday, and she was so thrilled to share how many of the families served were so incredibly grateful for
the Tupperware® products your organization provided. It’s such an immediately recognized brand, and helps
families feel like they are starting to rebuild their house into a home. We’re so honored to have a chance to
work together!
