digit earnings growth over the next several years. One particular point of pride
within India is International Paper’s continuation of an existing local farm forestry
program. In 2012, International Paper and APPM planted the one billionth seed-
ling under the program. By providing the seedlings, we are continuing to intro-
duce fast-growing trees to a fiber short market, creating local employment
opportunities and generating much needed incremental income for Indian land-
owners. It is representative of our commitment to the communities where we
operate and to International Paper’s long legacy of sustainable forestry practices
worldwide.
In 2012, the Printing Papers business proudly aligned with several charitable
organizations to help support healthcare research and disease awareness. For the
fifth year, International Paper produced the Pink Ream of HP Multipurpose Paper
—with a percentage of Pink Ream proceeds donated to the Susan G. Komen for
the Cure to support breast cancer research and awareness. The Hammermill®
brand also played a major fundraising role in the fight against cancer, by support-
ing the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® in the hospital’s annual Thanks
and Giving® campaign. In the past two years, Hammermill has raised more than
$520,000 for St. Jude to help further the hospital’s pioneering work against
childhood cancers and other deadly childhood diseases.

International Paper / 2012 Annual Report 12/13
INDIA–RAJAHMUNDRY MILL
Nearly 80 percent of the pulpwood for the India pulp and paper industry
comes from the trees sourced through individual tree farmers having
small and fragmented land holdings. Through its farm forestry program,
APPM annually provides millions of seedlings to a fiber-short market,
thereby creating local employment opportunities and generating
much needed incremental income for landowners.
ILIM–KORYAZHMA MILL
The new paper machine and converting center at
Koryazhma, located in the Arkhangelsk Oblast in the
Northwest of Russia, will produce 200,000 metric tons
annually of cut-size, UFS offset and base papers for
coated free sheet, mainly for the Russian domestic
market. It is the first site ever to produce coated free
sheet papers in the country.
