top of the organization through all levels, to align

regularly to review progress against established objectives
to ensure employees are receiving the appropriate feedback
and support as they drive to deliver results for the company
every day.

success and serve as the foundation of our plans to achieve
future goals. Globally, Glatfelter has various recognition
programs in place to reward these accomplishments made by
