Most of Sappi’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI) is allocated to South Africa because of the socio-economic circumstances in the country. The aim of each of our CSI projects is to work in partnership with worthy causes to create meaningful change. The priorities in the group’s social investment portfolio are:
