Our Commitment to Sustainability
At QPSI, sustainability is at the core of our culture, and we pride ourselves on being a valued partner to our customers’ sustainability initiatives. Accountability to Ourselves and Each Other is one of our “One Q Guiding Principles;” and that means understanding and owning the consequences of our actions, not only in the quality of our products and the service we provide, but also in leaving the world a better place than we found it. Our team is delivering today’s most innovative green packaging solutions, so we can all build a brighter tomorrow.
Connecting Our People to Our Planet
In 2022, QPSI developed a formal sustainability program that brought together a team of functional senior leaders to establish an impactful approach to all environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. This Sustainability Steering Committee works closely with our President and CFO to strategically and collaboratively support our efforts in the most meaningful way. Together, they’ve accomplished the following:
Assessed current sustainability practices against peer benchmarks to identify current ESG strengths and weaknesses and prioritize future initiatives.
Completed a materiality assessment to determine QPSI’s most salient ESG issues and develop a sustainability roadmap.
Created a sustainability action plan with tasks, timelines, and goals for our sustainability focus areas.
High-Quality Products with Low-Impact Designs
Sustainability You Can See
Our packaging designers and engineers listen to our customers’ needs and put their sustainability initiatives at the forefront of their product designs. By blending our unique expertise and our shared values, we strive to achieve the greatest value and the smallest environmental impact.
Smarter, Greener Systems
Packaging and logistics are critical elements in the environmental life cycle impact of a product. From the pallets used for packaging orders to the HVAC systems and LED lighting throughout our facilities, every component of our process is carefully considered to have the smallest impact.

Creating a Eco-Conscious Culture
Eliminating waste from our production processes and keeping it out of our landfills is a top priority at QPSI. When we can recycle or refurbish a resource, we will; and if our waste is valuable enough to sell it off for a secondary purpose, even better. And while we don’t use water in any production processes, all of our facilities use a “point of use” filtration system to remove all organic compounds from any water flowing into municipal wastewater systems.
Partnering for a Better Tomorrow
Our core values lay the foundation for how we select, develop, and build our partnerships — now and in the future. And sustainability is no exception. So when it comes to ensuring every step of our processes meet our standards, we have to make sure everyone involved is on the same page.
Setting the Sustainability Standard
Any supplier or third-party entity working with QPSI has to sign our Social Compliance Policy, which is an integral part of our supply chain strategy. When it comes to environmental impact, health and safety, compliance, and more, we stay on top of our teams.
Ensuring Supplier Quality
Our finance, procurement and quality teams work together to ensure that we maintain a robust supply chain, prescreening all materials and service providers and performing audits to ensure we continue to maintain the highest level of quality with sustainable practices at the core.
Collaborating for Change
From localizing supply chains to changing raw materials to creating multi-sourcing options, we’ve helped many customers evaluate their own material and logistical choices and advise them on quality solutions that meet their goals while minimizing their footprint.
