THE SUSTAINABILITY INTERVIEW
Garrett Quinn speaking at Sustainability LIVE:
The Leadership Summit at London Climate Action Week
The result is a set of clearly defined metrics covering emissions, water use and circularity.
Measurement is essential to credibility and strengthens engagement with investors and customers. By linking sustainability performance to business outcomes, the company positions itself as both responsible and resilient. This alignment is particularly important as regulatory expectations evolve.
Frameworks such as the European Union’ s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive( CSRD) highlight the need for transparency. Although Smurfit Westrock is not yet subject to CSRD, it is preparing in advance.
“ We are well accustomed to detailed non-financial data collection, reporting and assurance,” Garrett says.
“WE WILL CONTINUE WORKING WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE WHAT WE FOCUS ON IS MATERIAL AND BUSINESS RELEVANT”
