Throughout Europe and across North America we’ve built a culture that fosters authenticity and acceptance, stimulates creativity and drives the innovation that will help us all lead the transition to a low carbon, circular economy.
DS Smith doesn’t just talk about sustainability – it lives and breathes it. I’ve had incredible training, with hands on experience and access to senior leadership, including the CEO! I couldn’t ask for a better start to my career.
