Surrounded by the scenic mountains and forests of Trentino in northern Italy, the over 130 employees at Condino Mill are especially conscious of their environment. Finding ways to become more eco-effective —reducing waste, emissions and maximising material and resource use — is a challenge they have embraced with enthusiasm and ingenuity.

Sappi is on a journey towards greater diversity and inclusion, cultivating a culture where all people can realise their potential. Carmignano mill just outside of Venice is helping to show the way.

Sappi has achieved a major industry first in South Africa and a win for sustainable forestry in the country.
