Sappi’s Sustainability Goals: Reducing Our Footprint, Increasing Our Impact

Since 2008, Sappi North America has established regional long-term goals to focus our collective efforts on areas that are critical to our business. Achieving these goals improves our performance and helps assure our success for years to come. In concert with our new global strategy, 2020Vision, we have established several goals that cross all regions. Benchmarking from a 2014 baseline, this year marks our first year of performance against those new global goals. In addition to the global goals, we have also set regional goals for employee training and the reduction of raw material waste. The compilation of each region’s contribution to Sappi’s global goals is also published in our company’s annual report, which can be found online at sappi.com/investors.

Planet

Sappi has always been committed to using its resources to their fullest value, and this is no different when it considers the impact that it is making on the planet. Therefore, Sappi North America has pledged to the company’s global goals of ensuring certified fiber content; reducing the total amount of energy expended in making each ton of product; and reducing pulp and paper mill material waste. In 2015, Sappi made headway on these goals, especially when reducing its pulp mill material waste.
