International Paper employees are the heart of our business and the foundation of our success. So we steadfastly foster a safe, inclusive and collaborative culture in which we all can thrive. Beyond our workplace, we’re helping build a better world by strengthening the resilience of our communities — so that they, too, can prosper.
Our Vision 2030 progress
Goal:
Promote employee well-being by providing safe, caring and inclusive workplaces
Target:
Achieve zero work injuries for employees and contractors
Safety is non-negotiable. Continue to focus on building a resilient safety culture through programs such as LIFE (Life-changing Injury and Fatality Elimination), a key component of our commitment to minimize injuries in our workplace.
Target:
Achieve 30% overall representation of women and 50% representation of women in salaried positions, and 30% minority representation in U.S. salaried positions.
Our diversity and inclusion strategy, with initiatives across our employee attraction, retention and engagement programs, drives our efforts to create a culture where all individuals are valued, engaged and contributing to our success.
2022 Impact:
We’ve had major movement in our journey to build a resilient safety culture focused on human organizational performance. The introduction of new International Paper Safety Leadership training includes real examples of past incidents in our facilities and a variety of tools to guide our safety leaders.
