In its first sustainability report covering the integrated company, SW laid out targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste. It also teased that more goals could be coming.
Smurfit Westrock introduced new 2030 goals in its sustainability report released Tuesday, and it noted more targets are in the works.
This sustainability report covers the 2025 calendar year and is the first one to integrate coverage of the combined companies since Smurfit Kappa acquired WestRock in July 2024.
After the deal closed, Smurfit Westrock launched a materiality assessment to determine which topics are most relevant to the combined company, the report says. It evaluated impact materiality and financial materiality, identifying 11 relevant sustainability topics including climate change, water, circular economy, biodiversity and sustainable forestry, and transparency and compliance, among others.
