Smurfit Westrock Publishes its First Sustainability Report

Packaging leader Smurfit Westrock has launched its 2024 Sustainability Report (SR).

The report details the sustainable approach Smurfit Westrock is taking in what was a milestone year during which Smurfit Kappa and WestRock combined to become a global leader in paper-based packaging. In addition to detailed, transparent reporting, assured performance data for the two legacy companies on specific key performance indicators is included in the report.

The report also covers how it is delivering for its customers in providing sustainable packaging solutions such as the delivery of 16,000 recyclable bed frames for the Paris 2024 Olympics. The company also reported winning over 100 awards for its sustainable and innovative packaging solutions. Another highlight includes the raising of $2 billion in Green Finance.

The report reflects the strength of the combination as Smurfit Westrock continues to put sustainability at the forefront of its efforts to drive both business success and sustainability results.

“This report demonstrates that sustainability is at the core of our business and shows how paper-based packaging is made with inherently sustainable materials. It also shows how circular business models make good business sense,” said Garrett Quinn, Smurfit Westrock Chief Sustainability Officer.
