Building a Better IP is our plan for accelerating improvement and creating long-term, sustainable value for all of our stakeholders. Our Vision 2030 goals are an integral part of this plan. They reflect who we are as a company, our values and our commitment to building a better future for people and the planet.
Our dependence on natural resources has helped cultivate our respect for environmental stewardship. Today, our commitment to sustainability is much broader — it encompasses planet, people and our company’s performance. It is a source of pride for our employees and it’s integrated into how we work every day.
Sustainability at IP means…
There is no doubt that we will continue to learn and grow in our approach to sustainability in the years ahead. I’m proud of our sustainability efforts and results to date and know that the passion and ownership that is imbedded in our culture will continue to drive meaningful and measurable progress across the company and throughout our value chain.
Mark S. Sutton, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
