Sustainability:
We will grow our business profitably, responsibly and safely while protecting the environment, making wise use of our natural resources, and giving back to our communities.
Sustainability Commitment
Smurfit-Stone is committed to solving the sustainable packaging requirements of our customers without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We work to balance our obligation to shareholders for financial returns and long-term economic growth with environmentally responsible operations, conservation of natural resources, and long-lasting social well being in the communities in which we operate.
Smurfit-Stone meets our economic, environmental and social sustainability through:
- Our products and services, from renewable packaging to supply chain consulting to automation to waste management.
- Our operations, from sourcing and procurement to our strategic initiatives and operational excellence to quality systems to IT.
- Our community commitments – from the safety and well-being of our employees, to a range of contributions toward the geographic and business communities in which we operate.
