Smurfit Kappa: Setting out Vision on Sustainability

Smurfit Kappa Group announced the publication of its vision on sustainability which establishes additional objectives for the business up to 2020 and which extends and builds on the range of sustainability initiatives which the Group already has in place.

The statement details the Group’s commitment to sustainable business practices and belief that profitable growth can be achieved by providing its customers with innovative packaging solutions while continuing to minimise product waste; optimising resource use and re-use through recycling; and, stimulating afforestation through sustainable forestry practices. Targets to strengthen the company's sustainable business practices include seven key building blocks: Chain of Custody, CO2 emissions, Waste, Water, Health & Safety, Sustainable Sourcing, and Community Involvement. Detailed objectives have been set for each focus area to be delivered between 2013 and 2020.
