In 2012, we established the Smurfit Kappa Foundation to contribute to funding projects that empower people to improve their lives. We have always believed strongly in being part of the communities in which we are privileged to operate. Through our local operations, we actively support projects that help build a sustainable future for our communities. The aim of the Foundation is to make positive, long-lasting changes in the communities in which we operate. We do this by funding projects in focus areas such as poverty, children in need, health and nutrition, education and basic care. More than 10 years on, the Smurfit Kappa Foundation has financially supported over 260 projects worldwide, donating over to €15 million towards projects across 30 countries in which we operate.
