Conscious innovation
We cultivate innovation, at scale, in a way that works for us all. Excited and energised by new technology and the opportunities it brings; we forge ahead, reimagining what’s possible for our forests and mills. And making every big decision with courage, conviction and consideration. Taking heed of every voice and every perspective
Sustaining our planet
Sustainability isn’t just something we practice. It’s the very essence of who we are and why we’re here. Working with nature to protect our forests and communities for generations to come. We do this by using what nature has given us. Unlocking the power of trees and their properties to advance the circular economy with integrity and ingenuity.

The Sappi story
We were founded on 17th December 1936 in South Africa. And began as ‘South African Pulp and Paper Industries Limited’, producing paper from straw at our first mill in Johannesburg.
Over the years, we evolved beyond our origins. As did our name. And expanded internationally, diversifying our products to serve customers in over 150 countries.
Moving beyond graphic paper, we soon became the world’s leading producer of dissolving, high-yield and kraft pulp – key materials in the textile and fibre industries.
We strengthened our presence in packaging and speciality paper markets. Offering innovative solutions for labels and self-adhesive, paperboard, containerboard, flexible packaging, silicone base paper, synthetic leather production. And much more.
Today, we’re a proud market leader in nanocellulose production. Driving innovation in biomaterials - biochemicals, fibrillated cellulose and lignin - and renewable energy that supports and champions a zero-carbon circular economy
