Promoting South Africa’s growth and development

South Africa has set a goal to attract direct investments of US$100 billion by 2023, which translates to investments worth ZAR1.2 trillion at 2018 rates. In 2019, we announced our intention to invest up to ZAR14 billion over the next six years in our South African operations.

Already, our impact on the South African economy is positive and significant. We contribute 1% of South Africa’s total foreign revenue and supply the fruit export industry with most of its packaging requirements. The latter industry contributes around 4% of the country’s foreign revenue.

Watch Sappi South Africa CEO Steve Binnie, deliver remarks about our commitment to enhancing prosperity in South Africa at the country's 2019 Investment Conference. He affirms our commitment to South Africa's transformation to a more inclusive and dynamic economy where the fruits of growth are shared equitably.
