Smurfit Kappa celebrates the dedication of its employees to
local communities
Smurfit Kappa has launched its new 'Our Open Community'
brochure, which provides an insight into the valuable corporate
social responsibility (CSR) work carried out by its employees this
year.
'People' is one of the five strategic pillars of the packaging
leader's global sustainability strategy along with forest, climate
change, water and waste. Smurfit Kappa has developed strong
relationships with people in local communities to build a
sustainable future by investing in areas such as education, the
environment, health and wellbeing and social inclusiveness
projects.
Thousands of Smurfit Kappa's global community of employees have
given up time to volunteer on projects in their regions. Examples
of successful initiatives they participated in this year
include:
-- The 'Finishing High School' education initiative in Argentina
-- The creation of a space-themed room in a children's hospital in Spain
-- A conservation project to protect biodiversity in forests and
plantations in Colombia
-- Participation in a fun-run to raise funds for the homeless in Ireland
-- The opening of a new community centre in Mexico
-- A local area clean-up project in Russia
Speaking about the new brochure, Group CEO Tony Smurfit said:
"At Smurfit Kappa, we recognise that good social citizenship is an
essential part of building and maintaining a sustainable
future.
"We are very proud of our employees who have donated their time,
effort and expertise to make a real and lasting impact within their
communities."
Smurfit Kappa was awarded the gold Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) rating by EcoVadis, for the fifth successive
year earlier this month.
