Sappi Forests

Sappi Forests supplies over 70% of the wood requirements of Sappi Southern Africa from both our own and managed commercial timber plantations of 554,000 hectares. This equates to more than 35 million tons of standing timber.

All wood grown on Sappi-owned land and a large proportion grown on plantations managed by us is Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) and ISO 9000 certified. Approximately 150,000 hectares of our land is set aside and maintained by Sappi Forests to conserve the natural habitat and biodiversity found there, including indigenous forests and wetlands.

Sappi's sawmill, Lomati, produces sawn timber for the construction industry.

 

* Plantations include title deed and lease area as well as projects.
