August 18, 2026 – Bemis Associates, Inc. has increased its support to become the newest Pinnacle Member of The Conservation Alliance (TCA), four years after joining the business coalition in 2022.
“Bemis has a long history of prioritizing sustainability and environmental responsibility and has been a valued member of The Conservation Alliance since 2022. This elevated level of support will allow us to fund more grassroots conservation projects across North America and help propel business-led conservation to new heights.” said Paul Hendricks, Executive Director of The Conservation Alliance. “As a company that offers a wide range of products and solutions to outdoor brands across the nation – Bemis is an important player in the industry and brings a critical voice to land and water conservation.”
A global leader in adhesive science and bonding solutions, Bemis Associates produces Sewfree® adhesives, seam tapes and embellishments and partners with leading apparel, industrial and consumer electronics brands to improve product performance and aesthetics.
“At Bemis, we believe conservation is a team effort. Collaboration and collective action create change at a scale no company can achieve alone,” said Dustin Ebel, Outdoor Apparel Account Manager for Bemis Associates. “While product innovation and sustainability initiatives remain at the forefront of our thinking, supporting organizations that advocate for long-term conservation helps create lasting benefits for business, communities, and the places we all love to explore.
“In fact, we feel so strongly in TCA and their important work that Bemis Associates will contribute $50,000 to TCA the next time an organization joins TCA as a Pinnacle Member or an existing member elevates to Pinnacle Member.”
Bemis Associates joins a prestigious roster of Pinnacle Members including KEEN, Patagonia, REI, The North Face, Peak Design, Osprey, Atlantic Packaging, and Wyld. These companies elevate their giving to TCA because they believe that the future of business depends on a healthy planet, uniting under a shared vision of conservation to protect outdoor spaces, create jobs, strengthen local communities, and provide for future generations.
