Below is all of the gender pay gap data gathered for Smurfit Kappa. The headline figures reported are generally those listed under a company's "all employees" figures. Where present, figures for part-time and temporary contract employees are displayed in the additional data blocks on this page. If you'd prefer to see that additional data in tables instead of graphs, hit the toggle on the right hand side of any panel to change the view. If you're looking for some guidance on how to interpret the data, I've written some explanations on the "Understanding the Data" page. Where you see "No Value", a company has either not reported this data, or reported it incorrectly. This may be because they have no part-time or temporary employees, or paid no bonus, for example. If you find any broken report links, please do let me know so that I can replace it where possible.

Notes:
Smurfit Kappa Group merged with the WestRock Company on 5 July 2024, and each entity subject to mandatory gender pay gap reporting will report separately for 2024. In prior years, Smurfit Kappa Group disclosed its gender pay gap on a voluntary basis - combining the results for all companies in the Group. At that stage no single entity was in scope for mandatory reporting. For 2024, Smurfit Kappa Ireland Limited is now in scope and these results are not directly comparable with the Group results reported in prior years.
