Smurfit Westrock named as one of TIME Magazine’s World’s Best Companies

Smurfit Westrock has been included on TIME Magazine’s World’s Best Companies 2025 list for the second year running.

The company’s inclusion on the prestigious listing is based on strong scores across employee satisfaction, revenue growth and all three dimensions of ESG.

Climbing over 400 places from last year’s list, Smurfit Westrock believes the achievement reflects its industry leadership and deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and its people. Highlights from the company’s latest Sustainability Report include the creation of a fully recyclable bed for the Paris Olympics and $2 billion of Green Bonds issued.

“This recognition from TIME is testament to our performance-led culture and the talent and skill of our people. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved so far. As one of the world’s leading providers of sustainable packaging, we are committed to doing the right thing by all our stakeholders,” said Tony Smurfit, President and CEO of Smurfit Westrock.

Smurfit Westrock was ranked 205 on the list and in the top 10 of the manufacturing category. Now in its third year, the TIME Magazine’s World’s Best Companies are selected using an independent methodology developed by TIME magazine and global leader in statistics, Statista.

Smurfit Westrock recently came out on top of Sustainability Magazine’s Top 10 Sustainable Packaging Companies list and earlier this year was included on the Forbes Global 2000 list.
