Our Sustainability Commitment

In 2012, APP launched its Sustainability Roadmap: Vision 2020 which has become our comprehensive strategy for sustainability. It sets forth ambitious targets that we intend to achieve by 2020.

It sets out ten key impact areas relevant to our stakeholders across our business and wider supply chain: climate change, emissions, solid waste, reforestation, conservation & biodiversity, human rights & indigenous people, community empowerment, employee welfare, fiber sourcing, and water management.

A cornerstone of this roadmap is our Forest Conservation Policy (FCP). Initially, Vision 2020 set out a plan for APP to implement High Conservation Value (HCV) principles by 2015 and end natural forest clearance by 2015. However, on February 5th, 2013, we announced the FCP to be in immediate effect, accelerating the objective by almost two years. You can track the FCP implementation progress here.
