Calvin Frost Awards open for entries

The Calvin Frost Sustainability Leadership Awards have opened submissions for 2026, inviting both converter and supplier members to share their sustainability work across the label and packaging industry.

The program is structured around three levels reflecting different stages of progress. Trailhead is designed for companies beginning their sustainability journey and building initial momentum. Journey recognizes organizations actively implementing programs with measurable progress. Elevation is for companies with fully developed, integrated sustainability strategies and demonstrated outcomes.

Entries are judged by peers within the industry as well as outside judges including brand consultants and brand owners, providing an external perspective on sustainability progress.

'The Frosty Awards really highlight your organization's sustainability efforts. Everybody's at a different level, so there are three levels of the awards,' said Tim Bohlke, director of sustainability at Resource Label Group. 'It is really an opportunity for you to see where you're at against your peers. Bringing in outside judges is a great way to have a new look and a fresh look at how we're being graded. These brand owners have a lot more knowledge as to how they can affect what we're doing as an industry.'

Entry is free, and submissions are open until August 10, 2026.
