How we’re growing a better future

How we’re growing a better future

Keeping you safe and healthy

We put safety first, always. Our goal is that everyone goes home the way they came to work, every single day. We aim for zero incidents.

We also strive to put every person’s wellbeing front and center, with region and site specific wellbeing programs for you and your family.

Sustaining our planet

Sustainability isn’t just something we practice. It’s the very essence of who we are and why we’re here, working with the natural environment to protect our forests and communities for generations to come. We do this by using what nature has given us, unlocking the power of trees and their properties to advance the circular economy with integrity and ingenuity.

Conscious innovation

We cultivate innovation, at scale, in a way that works for us all. Excited and energized by new technology and the opportunities it brings, we forge ahead, reimagining what’s possible for our forests and mills, and making every big decision with courage and conviction.

For the love of community

What we borrow from the natural environment, we strive to “pay it forward” to our local communities all over the world. From providing electricity to teaching people skills, we’re as dedicated to helping our communities thrive as we are to the customers we serve.

The Sappi story

    New beginnings

    We were founded on December 17, 1936 in South Africa as ‘South African Pulp and Paper Industries Limited’, producing paper from straw at our first mill in Johannesburg.

    Progressive growth

    Over the years, we evolved beyond our origins and expanded internationally, becoming a leader in coated paper and diversifying our products to serve customers in over 150 countries.

    Paper to pulp

    Moving beyond graphic paper, we also became a leading producer of dissolving wood pulp – a key raw materials in the textile industry. We also produce kraft and high yield pulp for paper and packaging applications.

    A packaging revolution

    In recent years, we have strengthened our presence in the packaging and specialty paper markets, offering innovative solutions for labels and self-adhesive, paperboard, containerboard, flexible packaging, silicone base paper, synthetic leather production and much more.

    Today, we’re a proud market leader in nanocellulose production. Driving innovation in biomaterials - biochemicals, fibrillated cellulose and lignin - and renewable energy that supports and champions a zero-carbon circular economy.
