Our journey to net zero
Our Ambition, Strategy and Accountability
Smurfit Westrock is working towards a net zero future, addressing demand-side reductions and supply-side efficiencies, and working with our suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions.
The strength of our approach is demonstrated through the actions of both legacy companies
- History of GHG reduction
- Continued strategy of decarbonization
- SBTi approval of interim targets for both legacy companies
- Collaboration across the value chain
- Trialing emerging technology
Our Approach - Timelines
- Short-term: Acting now, using latest technology in key processes (where feasible), progressive improvement, and renewable electricity procurement.
- Medium-term: Strategic investment projects to replace high emitting assets, progressive improvement, availing of best available technology in key processes (where feasible), and collaboration across the value chain.
- Long-term: Through collaborative projects and partnerships, executing controlled trials of new and emerging technology to understand the feasibility and cost of implementation beyond 2030.
These plans are expected to be financed by a combination of operational and capital expenditures and supported by the Company’s Green Finance Framework.
