Sappi, a global provider of materials made from woodfibre-based renewable resources, has again achieved platinum, the highest rating awarded by sustainability assessment platform EcoVadis.
The rating is for all three of Sappi's manufacturing regions – Europe, North America and South Africa.
Sappi continues to be among the top 1% of the companies worldwide rated by EcoVadis in the manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard category. In 2018/19, Sappi received EcoVadis' gold medal, which was the highest level until the platinum category was introduced in 2020.
“At Sappi, we recognise that sustainability is about investing in people-centric, positive change.
“We are immensely grateful for the ongoing collaboration with EcoVadis and we look forward to continuing this strategic approach, regionally and globally, thereby innovating our sustainability efforts in areas where we can have the greatest impact,” says Sappi investor relations and sustainability head Tracy Wessels.
