Working with our communities for a better future.

Our vision is to positively impact the lives of underprivileged people in the communities where Smurfit Kappa Group operates, using the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as a guide.

The projects we support tackle global issues with local relevance, and operate under the ethos: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Thus, we support sustainable projects which involve input from the local community and are capable of becoming self-sufficient in the long-term.
