Taking Action for Sustainability

We are taking action today to lead the transition to a low carbon, circular economy.

At DS Smith, sustainability is integral to our circular business model and we can have the greatest positive impact by helping to create a low carbon, circular economy. It’s a journey we have been on with customers and colleagues for more than a decade.

In January 2025, we joined the International Paper family, creating a truly global leader in sustainable packaging solutions. Together we remain committed to creating a more sustainable future.

A diverse group of packaging plant employees are standing in a semicircle and looking at someone outside of the shot. They are all wearing safety equipment branded International Paper and DS Smith.

Sustainability Report 2024

DS Smith's annual sustainability report shares the progress we are making, accelerating the transition to a low carbon, circular economy.

Looking ahead, we are pleased to be part of the International Paper family. It's important to note DS Smith's Sustainability Report does not include data from International Paper. This acquisition marks a new chapter for us, and in 2025, we plan to analyze and consolidate our sustainability data and roadmaps and develop a new framework that reflects our current and future identity.
