People and Communities

 

Developing people, supporting communities

 Our long-term success depends on the engagement, wellbeing, and development of our people. We are committed to providing an inclusive, safe, and respectful workplace for our globally and culturally diverse workforce. This commitment extends beyond our operations to support the communities in which we operate and where we strive to create positive, sustainable social impact.

In People and Communities, our priorities are: 

People Values
We strive to foster an inclusive workplace where all employees feel a sense of belonging and are empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. We manage our business in line with our values of safety, loyalty, integrity, and respect. We believe that good social citizenship and mutual respect are fundamental to building and sustaining long-term value.

People Strategy
Our people strategy supports the delivery of long-term, sustainable value across our global operations. We focus on attracting, developing, and retaining talent, while providing opportunities for learning, career progression, and meaningful work across all stages of employment.

Health, Safety, and Wellbeing
Health, safety, and wellbeing are integral to our people strategy and a core Company value. We focus on personal responsibility, empowerment, and accountability, with the objective of  ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for all employees. In addition to physical safety, we believe in the importance of supporting mental health and overall wellbeing.

Communities
We support the local communities across the 40 countries in which we operate. We are proud to invest in our communities and give back through volunteering our time, effort, and expertise, as well as through financial contributions made directly by the Company and via the Smurfit Westrock Foundation.
