People First💝

In the last few weeks, devastating events such as Hurricanes Helene and Milton have put a huge emphasis on the safety and care of our people, and just how important they are to us, and others. We are choosing to dedicate this edition of LabelTalk Link to the grit and strength of every MCC employee, as well as their families, and extended communities. Please join us in a toast to one of our three key pillars – PEOPLE. 🥂 

Caring for our communities 🛒🛍️

Teammates from MCC's Rosemont, Illinois office recently spent an afternoon packing nutritious meals for children around the world battling hunger. Partnering with the non-profit organization Feed My Starving Children , the team helped pack over 14,000 meals! This contribution will guarantee a daily meal to 39 children for a year. 

Taking the opportunity to step away from their day-to-day work and into their community, the team organized themselves into an efficient assembly line. With a teammate responsible for each step of the process and some groovy music to set the rhythm, they got to packing! 

“The event was energizing, inspiring, and quite frankly – so much fun,” says Leo Hernandez, Corporate HR Manager, “We bonded as a team for a great cause.”

Thanks to all our Rosemont participants for representing how MCC labels with care in our communities. 

Staying safe 🦺🛟

The safety of our people and plants is paramount, and within the past few weeks, two of our plants have been recognized for their continued commitment to safety.  

Congratulations go to:  

MCC Maldegem (Belgium)

Property insurer FM Global honored the Maldegem team with a trophy – crowning them with the highest “RiskMark” score globally for MCC (90%+ percentile). 

“The renewed levels of engagement throughout MCC, both from their corporate leadership team and their local teams, have helped to establish good fundamentals and are starting to turn the tide of property risk improvement activities across the organization,” said the spokesperson for FM Global. 

“We’re happy to partner with MCC in developing multiple MCC sites into ‘Highly Protected Risks’ and helping MCC reinforce their mission to provide products and a work environment that are both ‘Labeled with Care.’”
