Smurfit Kappa, a sustainable packaging solutions provider, announced new sustainability targets that focus on a further reduction of its environmental footprint, increased support for communities it operates in and further enhancement of its employees. The company says these targets, such as achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, build upon its well-established sustainability record, which it has been reporting since 2005 and are contained in the Better Planet 2050 commitments.
According to the company, Better Planet 2050 quantifies its commitment to sustainability, targeting environmental and social sustainability in areas where it believes it can have the greatest impact. These include delivering sustainable packaging to customers, reducing its environmental footprint in water usage, waste and carbon emissions and supporting its communities by promoting inclusion and diversity, health and safety. The measurable targets provide a roadmap to deliver results in the short, medium and longer timeframes.
