Abstract

In this May 2022 interview, Uwe Schulte talks with Ken Bowles, Chief Financial Officer at Smurfit Kappa Group, about sustainable packaging. Bowles shares his extensive experience with the company and highlights Smurfit Kappa’s long-standing commitment to sustainability. He emphasizes the circular nature of their business, which recycles seven million tonnes of post-consumer waste into biodegradable boxes, reducing environmental impact. Bowles discusses the company’s sustainable forestry practices, certification standards, and innovative packaging solutions like the ThermoBox. He also addresses the importance of collaboration with customers to achieve sustainability goals and reduce carbon footprints. Additionally, Bowles highlights Smurfit Kappa’s commitment to social responsibility, including community engagement and ensuring employee well-being. This comprehensive approach to sustainability demonstrates Smurfit Kappa’s commitment to environmental stewardship and community support.
