International Paper has announced a $15.3m investment to expand its conservation partnerships, reaffirming its dedication to sustainable forestry and environmental stewardship.
The company is renewing alliances with key organisations, including the American Forest Foundation (AFF), the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). These collaborations are integral to IP’s Vision 2030 goal of conserving and restoring one million acres of forestland.
“International Paper’s success depends on the sustainability of forests – and so does the future of our planet,” said Sophie Beckham, vice-president and CSO, IP. “Renewing these strategic partnerships underscores our commitment to positively impact nature while delivering low-carbon, sustainable, fibre-based products to our customers.”
“These partnerships are essential for enhancing sustainability across our value chain,” added Beckham. “By collaborating with AFF, NFWF, TNC and WWF, International Paper will scale our impact, learn from trusted partners, and drive positive change for people and the planet.”
IP’s increased investment in forest conservation aligns with broader industry trends toward sustainable practices and environmental responsibility.
