AFL: We connect.

Once again, AFL is raising money for children's backpack programs! 🎒 💙

In the U.S. alone, more than 13 million children live in food-insecure households, making it extremely challenging to learn, grow, and succeed. Our goal is simple, relieve food insecurity for children. By doing so, we can help improve their focus, attendance, and well-being.

Special thanks to all of our associates who have stepped up to the challenge! 👏

A few of our AFL associates recently attended a Women’s Networking Event hosted by the Upstate SC Alliance at Sassafras Flower Farm. 🌸

The event provided an opportunity to connect with other women, learn about the flower farm’s business, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon picking fresh blooms in a beautiful outdoor setting. 🌿

It was great to bring our EMEA UK Supply Chain team together with colleagues at our Poland facility this week!

Over three days, the teams focused on strengthening collaboration, sharing best practices, and identifying opportunities to improve how we work across regions. Just as importantly, it was a chance to build stronger connections face-to-face — something that makes a real difference in how we operate day to day.

A big thank you to our Poland team for the warm welcome and for hosting such a productive and engaging visit. 👏

Looking forward to continuing the momentum and turning these conversations into action.

On this Earth Day, we’re proud to share that AFL’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets—across both our operations and supply chain—were third-party validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in December 2025. 👏🌎

This milestone reflects our commitment to meaningful, science‑aligned climate action and strengthens our ability to support customers working toward their Scope 3 emissions goals. As our customers continue to advance decarbonization efforts, partnering with suppliers taking measurable, independently validated steps is increasingly important.

Last week we recognized Safety Pledge Day across AFL globally. 👷 🥽

AFL leadership took the time to share why safety matters to them. Safety is more than following procedures. It’s about being aware of risks, noticing when something doesn’t look right, and speaking up when work may feel unsafe.

When we take the time to pause, raise concerns, and act on hazards, we help protect ourselves and those around us—and prevent incidents before they occur.

Last week, a few AFL associates attended Women in Business 2026, celebrating 20 years of impact, progress, and connection in the Spartanburg community. 👏

The event created a meaningful space for women to come together, share experiences, and support one another’s professional growth. It was a thoughtful reminder of the value of community, mentorship, and the power of women.
