Sappi Europe has now joined Intergraf’s group of 22 national member associations and 15 associate members across 25 countries, which will further its role in promoting the European print industry.
By joining Intergraf as an associate member, Sappi will support the association’s projects, including Print Your Future EU, which attracts a skilled workforce for quality jobs in the European graphic industry, Keep Me Posted EU, which advocates for citizens’ right to choose how they receive important information like tax forms, election documents and bills, as well as larger advocacy projects that promote the future of reading and print.
Sappi commits to reduce its Scope 1, direct emissions from Sappi’s own operations, and Scope 2, indirect emissions, by 41.5% per saleable production ton by 2030.
As an associate member of Intergraf, Sappi can involve itself in the exchange of information and best practices between European country members, maintain a voice among EU associations representing the industry, and support projects and studies that benefit the industry. From a sustainability standpoint, Intergraf works on industry standards across industrial emissions, packaging and waste, food contact materials and Eco-labels, making Sappi’s membership essential.
“Intergraf represents the European printing industry, from the smallest to the largest players, through the work of the country organisations and federations,” says Conor Evers, Sappi’s Head of Marketing Operations. “It makes sense to be at the table to support this valuable work and share our voice on matters that are a core part of Sappi’s DNA including the future of print as well as sustainability practices.”
Sappi is a leading global provider of everyday materials made from woodfibre-based renewable resources.
