LAKE FOREST, Illinois (News release) -- Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) has been included in Forbes magazine's 2021 list of "World's Best Employers" -- one of only 24 U.S.-based manufacturing/engineering companies to make the list.

Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to compile the list. To determine the ranking, 150,000 full-time and part-time employees from 58 countries were surveyed. All surveys were anonymous. The respondents were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers and to evaluate other employers in their respective industries. Participants were also asked to rate companies on attributes such as image, economic footprint, talent development, gender equality and social responsibility. The 750 companies that received the highest total scores made the final list.

"PCA strives to be the employer of choice by creating a culture based on doing the right things for our customers and each other," stated Irina Feldman, Vice President of Human Resources at PCA. "We embrace the fact that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to their role at our company. We use that to our advantage by working collaboratively to deliver exceptional customer experiences. This is what differentiates PCA and has made us a market leader."
