International Paper announced progress on its Vision 2030 sustainability targets and, for the first time, published reporting against the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosures and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- International Paper (NYSE: IP) released its 2021 Sustainability Report today, highlighting the company's goals and progress toward its Vision 2030 goals of healthy and abundant forests, sustainable operations, renewable solutions and thriving people and communities.

As a leading global producer of renewable fiber-based packaging and pulp products, International Paper recognizes its impacts and dependencies on natural and human capital, and its responsibility to promote the health of people and our planet.

"Our dependence on natural resources has helped cultivate our respect for environmental stewardship," said Mark Sutton, chairman and chief executive officer, International Paper.

It is a source of pride for our employees and it's integrated into how we work every day."
