Our global sustainability
2020 goals
In line with our 2020Vision and One Sappi strategic approach, in 2015 we established ambitious global sustainability targets. Regional targets are aligned to these goals.
The base year is 2014, with the five-year targets from 2016 – 2020. Our performance in 2020 is set out alongside.
Now that these targets are closed out, going forward we will be reporting on our 2025 Thrive25 targets that are aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). https://www.sappi.com/new-sustainability-targets-for-a-thriving-world
