Empowering people

Graeme Wild, Sappi's Group Head of Investor Relations and Sustainability, outlines how we're meeting the challenges of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) head-on.
Transforming tomorrow today
Our solutions have changed the industry and sustainability standards globally.
We’re unlocking the chemistry of trees to meet the challenges of a carbon-constrained world. 
At Sappi, we believe it takes great people to make great products. We offer many opportunities for rapid advancement and a culture that fosters innovation and creativity while positively impacting the communities where we operate in North America.
Great leaders in forestry are not born. They are coached. With our Mentorship Programme in North America, senior foresters seed the next generation of Sappi leaders to work at the vanguard of sustainable forestry.
In the communities where we work, we plant seeds of change and opportunity that enhance people’s everyday lives. Our goal is also to be a great place to work where all people are inspired in their role and empowered to grow to their full potential. Our sustainability ambassadors are key to deliver on this promise.
Our goal is to be a great place to work where all people are inspired in their role and empowered to grow to their full potential in a safe and healthy environment. If you ask union leaders working with our Cloquet Mill in Minnesota, they would say Sappi is delivering on this promise. 
Our goal is to be a great place to work where all people are inspired in their role and empowered to grow to their full potential. Our world-class trainee programme is designed to do just that, setting young people up for success in the jobs of tomorrow — not just today.  
At all our mills worldwide, we’re on a continuous journey to reduce waste and maximise material and resource use. These ‘eco-effective’ operations are essential to accelerate the transition to the biobased, circular economy our planet demands.  
For 10 years the wastewater had been running hot from the bleachery at our Stockstadt Pulp Mill in Bavaria, Germany. Where others just saw heat, however, Kai von Groddeck saw opportunity. As a mechanical engineer, he knew he could transform this wasted heat into a new energy source for the mill.
