The family values that built a global brand
Welcome to an intimate glimpse into the heart of Smurfit Kappa, a global business with a deeply ingrained sense of family. Since being founded in 1934 in Dublin, Ireland, by the Smurfit family, the company has upheld its cherished family values, fostering a culture of safety, loyalty, integrity and respect among its employees.
In this video, we hear personal stories from individuals whose lives are interwoven within the fabric of Smurfit Kappa. From one person’s love story to the multi-generational legacy of dedicated service, each narrative reflects a profound connection to the company that transcends mere employment.
For many, Smurfit Kappa is more than just a job - it's a part of who they are. From fathers to sons, and sisters to colleagues, the sense of belonging runs deep. The ethos of equality and respect permeates every aspect of the business, whether on the factory floor or in the boardroom.
As we journey through personal anecdotes and reflections, one thing becomes abundantly clear: Smurfit Kappa is not just a workplace; it's a homecoming. Across continents and cultures, the spirit of family unites employees, creating a supportive global community.
