We believe that actions speak louder than words when it comes to sustainability. That’s why we’re taking meaningful steps to decarbonise our global business – hand-in-hand with scaling up nature-based solutions.
The solutions we co-create with our partners are increasing the share of renewable energy powering our mills at the same time as enhancing the energy efficiency of our operations.
Meanwhile, our people continue to push the boundaries of innovation with woodfibre for a bio-based circular economy.
See how co-creation is powering our efforts to reduce emissions
We’re working in alliance with nature, technology and people to decarbonise our global business.
That means allying state-of-the-art engineering with forests and nature’s tools – both to increase the share of renewable energy that powers our operations and to reimagine the use of woodfibre in the everyday products we all need for more sustainable lives.
And that means fostering a unique and innovative culture that spans the globe – with committed, hardworking people dedicated to making the everyday more sustainable..
How we’re decarbonising
At Sappi, we’ve set greenhouse gas reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) to decarbonise our global business and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
In 2022 we also created our first Sustainable Financing Framework. We are advancing on three pillars for decarbonisation that each region applies to their specific business and regulatory environments.
We co-create by continuously investing in state-of-the-art technology and processes to make Sappi more eco-effective.
We co-create to increase our share of renewable energy and procure more green electricity.
We co-create to produce fibre-based solutions that can replace fossil derived or more resource-intensive products
