Supporting communities
Supporting communities
In the communities where we work, we plant seeds of change and opportunity that enhance people’s everyday lives.
By seeding and nourishing human potential, we are investing in the long-term health and vitality of the communities we also call home.
We strive to respond to the unique and specific needs of each community. While we act locally, we are aligned globally on common themes, including environment, education, health, welfare and entrepreneurship.
As a company with South African roots globally headquartered in Johannesburg, the significant needs of this country have remained a focus for Sappi since our founding in 1936.
Enhancing people’s everyday lives also means making Sappi forestlands more accessible for recreation. From birding and species mapping to mountain biking and hiking, our programmes encourage people to get outside on Sappi land and enjoy all that the great outdoors has to offer.

Ideas That Matter
Ideas that matter
Our Ideas that Matter grant empowers great ideas—changing lives, communities and, ultimately, the world.
For over 20 years, Ideas that Matter has been supporting the brilliant ideas that make a difference. This year, brilliant ideas take on a new meaning.
The rise of COVID-19 and social justice efforts have greatly affected the needs and actions of communities, and we’re here to help. We acknowledge this shift in urgency, as well as the continuing need for our program, so we are in the process of modifying Ideas that Matter to support nonprofits in the wake of this pandemic and continued social movement.
Stay safe, stay creative, and stay tuned for more!
Sappi Khulisa
Started in 1983, Sappi Khulisa is a tree-farming scheme that initially focused on supporting subsistence farmers in South Africa who had access to 1-20 hectares of land on which to grow trees. Initially, only three farmers participated, working on eight hectares—today there are more than 4,000, working more than 27,000 hectares of land.
Abashintshi
Long-lasting change comes from within individuals and within communities. Against this backdrop, Sappi Southern Africa launched the Abashintshi (’Changers’ in isiZulu) programme, aimed at establishing closer engagement with communities and achieving social change. The project plants seeds of opportunity by training youth to mobilise their communities to develop themselves in line with the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) model.

Promoting diversity and inclusion
Promoting diversity and inclusion
We’re on a journey towards greater diversity and inclusion, cultivating a culture where all people can realise their potential.
We strive to celebrate and welcome all people at Sappi—no matter their age, class, ethnicity, gender, physical ability, race, sexual orientation or spiritual practice.
While we're seeding this inclusive culture throughout our company, we're especially focused on educational investments for youth whose values and practices will shape the future of the forest product industry.
We believe strongly that cultivating this change is key to our competitiveness and sustainability as a business. The diverse perspectives, ideas and experiences that employees bring to work make us far more resilient and effective. It also makes our governance stronger and our problem solving more creative.
