DS Smith is a leading supplier of sustainable packaging solutions, paper products and recycling services worldwide. Its story can be traced back to the box-making business started by the Smith Family in East London in the 1940s. Today, it is a large, global company listed on the London Stock Exchange. True to its Purpose, "Redefining Packaging for a Changing World", DS Smith is championing the transition to the circular economy with a circular business model that involves collecting used paper that is turned into recycled packaging and then collected to start the loop again. DS Smith Sustainability Report 2021 provides a progress update on the Now and Next sustainability strategy, which is focused on closing the loop through better design, protecting natural resources by making the most of every fibre, reducing waste and pollution through circular solutions and equipping people to lead the transition to a circular economy.
