Join us in leading the transition to a circular and more sustainable future
At DS Smith, we are innovating, re-imagining and redefining packaging for a changing world. The world around us is transforming, and so are we. We have an industry leading sustainability and innovation strategy focussed on the challenges we are facing today, as well as those that will impact future generations.
Our ambition is a big one. By 2025 we will take 1 billion pieces of problem plastics off supermarket shelves, by 2030, we will manufacture 100% reusable or recyclable packaging, eliminating consumer packaging waste all together. And, we’ll engage 5 million young people on the circular economy and circular lifestyles through our community and school outreach programmes so we can educate our next generation.
That’s where you come in.

Our innovation strategy
Every day we come to work with a purpose
You can make a real difference. We are empowering our people to deliver everything from research and development to incremental and radical innovation, so the work you do today could be reaching tens of thousands tomorrow. We tackle big challenges in the whole and not just one part to find answers that would otherwise be out of reach. And that’s why our team of around 29,000 DS Smith employees across 300+ sites in Europe and North America come to work every day.
Many of our innovations are radical changes from how we’re doing things today. Driving the transition to the Circular Economy may increasingly require us to reconsider and define the edges of our businesses. We’re challenging our own ideas and each other.
