Shorr is proud to announce that we have recently received two prestigious accolades: the 2022 Pregis Preserve Award and the 2022 Pregis Inspyre Award, in recognition of our unwavering commitment to sustainability and the well-being of our planet.
What Are the Pregis Purpose Awards?
The Pregis Purpose Awards are built on a set of actionable, measurable goals Pregis plans to achieve over the next decade. These awards recognize and honor those partners who share their dedication to sustainability initiatives and practices, corporate stewardship, and community improvement.
The 2022 Pregis Preserve Award
The Pregis Preserve Award honors Shorr’s significant contribution to the protection of global forests. By providing our customers with Pregis Easypack 100% curbside recyclable paper, Shorr was able to help save over 16,000 trees from harvest last year and over 800,000 lbs. of sequestered carbon.
This endeavor has far-reaching positive effects on climate regulation, pollution control, and overall quality of life. Scientists estimate that each mature tree absorbs approximately 48 lbs. of CO2 annually, emphasizing the critical role that trees play in reducing atmospheric carbon, generating clean oxygen, and sustaining our ecosystem.
The 2022 Pregis Inspyre Award
The Pregis Inspyre Award acknowledges Shorr’s support of the Uzima Clean Water Mission, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing water filters to communities in Africa, Central America, and Asia. One in nine people globally lacks access to clean drinking water. Uzima’s mission strives to combat waterborne diseases, enhance economic conditions, advance gender equality, and improve the quality of life in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Through our support of Pregis Inspyre products, we brought life-changing clean water to people in need for years to come. In 2022, we have positively impacted 900 lives in need of access to clean drinking water.
