Sappi performance indicators Reduce solid waste and improve water quality Recycling of materials for re-use Solid waste to landfill Combustible solid waste Use of EFC and TCF bleaching processes Measurement of total suspended solids and chemical oxygen demand Globally decrease in solid waste to landfill of 21% over five years Globally, over five years, specific water use per ton of pulp dropped by 10% Globally in 2009, total suspended solids and chemical oxygen demand in effluent decreased by 18% and 4% respectively Increase use of solid waste Decrease waste to landfill Focus on decreasing total specific water use Improve the quality of effluent 2009 annual report Value add Re-using and minimising waste has economic and environmental advantages. Improving water quality is important from an environmental point of view, especially with global pressure on water resources and in light of consumer concerns about bleaching processes. Promote the recovery and use of recycled fibre Environmental impact of cleaning and handling recovered fibres Use of post consumer and post industrial waste Increased product offering with Royal Roto Recycled and Triple Green Embossed Continue to meet customer needs for products containing post consumer and post industrial waste Value add It makes economic sense in view of global demand for recovered fibre and adds to our product offering. Conform with best environmental practice and legislation Transfer of best practice within the group Benchmarks established by industry associations Local legislation Training relating to North American Lacey Act Actual performance Future targets i More info Value add Underpins our licence to trade and enhances our reputation. Leverage opportunities created by changes in carbon legislation Participate in industry groups to influence legislative changes * Data is given in specific form. This means that the actual quantity consumed, whether energy, water, emissions or solid waste is expressed in terms of a production parameter. For Sappi, as with other pulp and paper industries, this parameter is air dry tons (adt) of product. 13 our business
14 Our sustainable business cycle This diagram provides a full picture of our business. It brings together the inputs, outputs and impacts of our operations. Management systems Sustainably managed forests mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and storing it as biomass. When biomass is harvested and used to generate energy, the carbon contained is released as carbon dioxide (CO 2) into the atmosphere – this process is considered ‘carbon neutral’ as the CO 2 generated is the same amount that was bound from the atmosphere by the process of photosynthesis during the growth of the trees. Forests only contribute to net carbon emissions when biomass is harvested faster than it grows back. A sustainably managed forest is considered to be a net carbon sequester despite the removal of biomass during harvesting. At Sappi, logging is balanced with re-growth and twigs and stumps are left behind, leading to continuous enrichment of the soil. ISO 9001 OHSAS 18000 ISO 14001 OSHA Water All current papermaking processes use large amounts of water – to hold, transport and distribute the fibre that becomes the sheet of paper. Water is also an integral part of the steam systems used to generate energy. Because water is such a critical resource for our processes, we take great care, as responsible manufacturers, to filter it before it is used and to treat it before it exits the process. We use temperature controls, oxygen level controls and other metrics to ensure that we comply with all relevant environmental regulations. Chemicals Wherever possible, chemicals are recovered and re-used. Energy Pulp and paper operations are highly energy-intensive and in some regions purchased power is our major energy source. Equally, in certain regions, electricity generation is mainly coal-based, and this has obvious carbon implications. Globally, 49.7% of the energy we use comes from renewable sources (waste products from our production processes, black liquor, bark and sludges and also purchased biomass). International, independently verified management systems underpin our approach to sustainable development. We use internationally recognised health and safety systems to ensure the safety of our people. The rights of indigenous peoples are protected by the forest management systems used by Sappi.
