Bemis Company, Inc.

Dear Friends of Bemis Company,

This report is provided to describe Bemis Company’s involvement in communities where we operate.  We are grateful that our profitability allows us to respond to so many needs.  Our involvement goes beyond financial support.  Our employees also share their time, talent and effort.  Wherever possible, our financial giving is structured to reflect employee volunteerism.  In 2007, Bemis and its subsidiaries made over 1,000 individual cash contributions totaling $2,396,132.

We view responsible community participation as an integral part of business, and are proud of our employees’ involvement throughout the Bemis organization.  To provide opportunities for voluntary employee financial participation, our company currently sponsors three matching programs: Bemis FoodShare, Educational, and Nonprofit Gift Matching.  All three of these programs receive wide support in the communities where we are located.  Bemis and its employees are also in partnership to provide strong support of local United Way organizations.  The company sponsors a scholarship program for employees’ sons and daughters who wish to attend community colleges, 4-year colleges and universities or 2-year vocational schools.  We are proud of these young people and pleased that we can assist them in achieving their educational goals.

Today, Bemis Company operates 32 manufacturing facilities in 13 states in the U.S. and has 24 foreign operations in 9 countries. Our annual payroll, which currently exceeds $625 million, directly enhances the economic health of many company communities, and is another important part of our corporate citizenship.
