A snapshot of how we're empowering our local communities

Community involvement Russia
Smurfit Kappa Russia
Our team in Russia decided to spend the day in a picturesque park in Pavlovsk, making balloons and playing games with children from the local orphanage. The orphanage receives financial donations regularly, so the team decided to donate something else of great value, their time and are. The children and the SK employees enjoyed the day a lot.

Community involvement Brazil
Smurfit Kappa Brazil
During the Week for People with Disabilities, employees from the Smurfit Kappa plant in Fortaleza, Brazil, participated by donating hygiene kits and snacks for children with disabilities. We do this in support of the social organisation APAE, whose main objective is to promote comprehensive care for people with intellectual disabilities.
Community involvement Brazil
Smurfit Kappa Poland
Smurfit Kappa Poland designed and filled boxes with sweets and gifts, then handed them out to children in one of the local hospitals. The design on the boxes was linked to a stage show that a theatre company was performing for the children, to make the whole experience extra enjoyable and memorable for them.
