Smurfit Kappa’s commitment to sustainability has been recognised once again by the TSE4Good Index. The company was listed on the sustainability index for the fifth year in a row after distinguishing itself for its strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. Created by the global index provider FTSE Russell, the FTSE4Good indices are used by a wide variety of market participants to create and assess responsible investment funds and other products.
To qualify once again, Smurfit Kappa was assessed on a rigorous set of FTSE4Good criteria which are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Smurfit Kappa’s annual Sustainable Development Report provides a robust and transparent update on its ESG performance in five strategic areas of focus: Climate Change, Forest, Water, Waste and People.
Steven Stoffer, Group VP Development at Smurfit Kappa, said, “More and more investors and funds are using this index to make better informed investment decisions. Many of our customers also expect their business partners to have a genuine commitment to corporate social responsibility and this is something that we have a strong track record in.” Smurfit Kappa is also listed on the Euronext Vigeo, Ethibel and STOXX Global ESG Leaders investor rating systems.
