Take Stefano, for example. He started out as a paper mill worker, and now? He's the CEO of our Packaging Division.

I started working as an apprentice in Lucca paper mill, long before we became DS Smith. Slowly I worked my way up the career ladder trying different roles and working in different teams. Eventually I became the packaging CEO. Anything is possible if you make an effort!

- Stefano Rossi, Packaging CEO

I started working at DS Smith as a machine operator but I've always had an interest in sustainability. I have completed certification for circular business management and secured a position in the group sustainability team. Couldn't be happier with my career change.

- Allison Berg, Sustainability Manager
