Q&A With International Paper’s CSO on the Journey So Far and Vision 2030 - Seite 2
How is IP supporting a low-carbon future?
Last year, we fell short of our goals for reducing our environmental impact in water and greenhouse gas emissions. We know how important sustainable fiber-based products are to our customers and the world, and we take seriously the commitments we've made to be a good steward of the environment. We've doubled down on a roadmap to decarbonize our operations, and created a dedicated team to focus on exploring opportunities to provide low-carbon solutions. We're working with partners to begin exploring real pathways to carbon capture and storage at our facilities.
How does International Paper's focus on sustainability extend beyond the company's core products and into the future?
Just as we focus on the resilience of our business, we focus on the generational resilience of natural systems, human systems and communities. In today's often divided and complex world, it is imperative for our employees to feel safe at work, heard and seen, and ultimately using their skills and talents in work that matters to them. Diversity of opinion and thought is essential. Without it, we won't be able to tackle the pressing issues of our current state and the future.
Guided by our Vision 2030 goal to improve the lives of 100 million people by 2030, we are extending our reach into our communities and building resilience by helping to meet their critical needs. In 2023, IP contributed nearly $20M worldwide to support charitable organizations aligned with our signature causes.
