IN OUR NATURE
INTERNATIONAL PAPER
Sustainability is integral to International Paper’s vision of becoming one of the best and most respected companies
in the world. As the world’s largest user of wood fiber, our story begins in the forest and extends across the entire
life cycle of our products. Sustainability touches every aspect of our business, from our employees and communities
to our supply chain and manufacturing processes. We continuously strive to improve our efficiency and shrink
our environmental footprint. To that end, we created a set of 12 voluntary sustainability goals that address water use
and quality, fiber certification, employee safety, community involvement, solid waste, fiber efficiency, greenhouse
gas and air emissions, energy efficiency, recycling and supply chain. Through our 58,000 dedicated team members
worldwide, International Paper will continue to focus on generating deliberate, continuous and sustainable
improvement, and applying what we learn across every area of the company.
