Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Reynolds Consumer Products Inc. (REYN.US) faces ethical challenges. In June 2023, the Minnesota Attorney General sued the company over allegedly deceptive 'recycling' bag marketing. Reynolds settled, agreeing to anti-greenwashing training and marketing review; the bags won't be sold in Minnesota for 2.5 years without clear non-recyclable labeling, underscoring conflict with zero-waste principles given their disposable product focus. Worker respect concerns: a 133:1 CEO to median employee pay ratio (2023). Employee reviews average 2.9/5 stars, with only 34% recommending, citing management and a strict no-union policy. A 2024 OSHA violation incurred an $11,614 penalty. Reynolds reports a formal whistleblower policy and 100% anti-bribery training completion (2022). However, transparent data on environmental performance, ethical sourcing, and animal welfare is unavailable.
