Stop Smurfit Kappa abusing indigenous rights in Colombia

The Irish paper giant Smurfit Kappa is one of largest producers of paper packaging in the world. It's also connected to human rights abuses and environmental devastation in Valle del Cauca, Colombia.

Since the 1970s Smufit Kappa has bought up land in conflict-ridden regions of Colombia and replaced native forests with monoculture plantations – putting water security, food sovereignty, biodiversity and climate resiliency at risk.

The indigenous, peasant and afro communities affected by Smurfit Kappa have long called on the company to return land and respect human rights. But the environmental and indigenous rights abuses continue.

Can you spare a few minutes to take action? We're calling on the Irish and Northern Irish governments to use their influence to call for change. We've prepared a message for you to send, just fill in your details to get started.
