Sustainable purpose
In a world searching for creative solutions to transition from a fossil-based to a circular bioeconomy, Sappi offers an impactful vision: We will be a sustainable business with an exciting future in woodfibre that provides relevant solutions, delivers enhanced value, and is a trusted partner to all our stakeholders. This vision is part of Sappi's Thrive strategy.
Across our value streams, our sustainable purpose is underpinned by our priority United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), which sets out a roadmap for where we collectively need to go and how to get there. We have identified seven priority goals at global level - and a further two in South Africa - where we believe we can make the most impact and where we are concentrating our efforts.
