“The biggest benefit to Pactiv Corporation is employee morale. Our CowaLUNGa team includes people from multiple sites and multiple areas within Pactiv, people that would not likely get to know each other without an event like Cow. It also fit in nicely with our wellness campaign.” – Joseph E. Doyle, Group Legal Counsel, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited
