Sappi’s global business strategy focuses on growing its business, enhancing trust, and driving collaboration and innovation as a sustainable, diversified global woodfibre group.

“At Sappi, we recognise that sustainability is about investing in people-centric, positive change,” says Tracy Wessels, Group Head of Investor Relations and Sustainability, Sappi. “We are immensely grateful for the ongoing collaboration with EcoVadis, and we look forward to continuing this strategic approach, regionally and globally, thereby innovating our sustainability efforts in areas where we can have the greatest impact.”

Understanding that EcoVadis can help Sappi’s suppliers on their own sustainability journey, Sappi partnered with EcoVadis since 2021 to benchmark and assess the sustainability practices of its suppliers. This strengthened Sappi’s ability to identify risks, assess social and environmental performance, and encourage commitment to sustainable choices across the value chain. It also aligns with Sappi’s commitment to create shared value, especially in the communities where it operates.
