Sappi Ltd., South Africa, this week launched its new website with significant updates benefitting customers, investors, employees and other stakeholders. The newly redesigned website is one of the many steps Sappi is taking to unite its global divisions as part of its 2020Vision strategy, which seeks to pursue growth opportunities in the wood fiber industry. 

The new website features full descriptions of products and services offered, comprehensive award-winning educational materials for customers, in-depth sustainability reporting, easy access to corporate social responsibility efforts like Ideas That Matter, dynamic portals for customers and investors, and a prominent social media presence. The site will also feature user personalization, ensuring that the most relevant information is provided first to frequent visitors. 

"A dedicated team of Sappi employees across the world has been working tirelessly over the past 

year to create a website that not only encapsulates our global 2020Vision, but that serves each of our key stakeholders in a way that is informative, actionable, and personalized," said André Oberholzer, group head, Corporate Affairs of Sappi Ltd. "Sappi.com is now an essential source of information for all of our stakeholders. We're proud and excited by this launch, but our work is far from done. We've laid a solid foundation and will remain dedicated to quality. The team at Sappi will be making continuous improvements for each of our unique stakeholders."

The website also includes a new hub dedicated to investors which provides background information on Sappi and the industry, as well as regularly updated share pricing, financial results, upcoming financial events, financial presentations, and information on the 2020Vision.

"We see this investment as a key resource that helps drive our company toward our goal of 'One Sappi'—a single global brand," continued Oberholzer. "With more resources immediately available to our audiences than ever before, and our resulting increased transparency, we will continue our position as a thought leader in the industry. We are excited to enter the next phase of our business strategy, where we will continue to innovate and offer products and services that are of the highest quality to our customers."
