Smurfit Kappa’s Valuable 500 Commitment:
At Smurfit Kappa we know that diversity is the only thing we all have in common. We believe in celebrating the diversity of our cultures, traditions and ways of seeing the world. Our EveryOne programme asks that we respect, support and accept each other, challenge our assumptions, celebrate our differences and keep our minds open every day. We believe that providing this culture will result in a truly inclusive work environment for each and every one of our employees.
I am very proud that Smurfit Kappa is a member of The Valuable 500 and to publicly share our commitment to treating each other as equals, offering the same respect, support and opportunities to everyone regardless of their ability. Disability is one of the five communities where we will channel our efforts in 2021 and beyond. We commit to:
-
Focusing on disability throughout the year with its inclusion on the Board agenda
-
Partnering with our employees globally to understand how and where we can do more to make their working lives more accessible and inclusive
-
Strengthening our recruitment processes to attract increased applications from people with disabilities, both internally and externally
-
Tracking our outcomes to build an evidence base to measure and celebrate progress
-
Investing in training for all our employees so they can be disability confident and inclusive of people with disabilities, as part of our EveryOne programme
