Mark Sutton

A message from the chairman

At International Paper, we do the right things, in the right ways, for the right reasons, all of the time — this is The IP Way. The IP Way and our Core Values help us pursue our vision to be among the most successful, sustainable and responsible companies in the world. Ethics is one of those Core Values — it guides our actions and decisions and is a constant reminder of what we believe and how we operate.

We all share responsibility for operating with ethics and integrity, embracing both the spirit and letter of the law. Our individual actions, positive or negative, determine our company culture and reputation. That’s why it is important to understand the right things to do, recognize the situations that could cause concern and Speak Up! as soon as we suspect wrongdoing. We should always feel free to voice our concerns without fear of retaliation.

Our Code of Conduct serves as a compass for how we conduct ourselves every day and helps us successfully navigate ethical challenges. It promotes a culture where we are confident that when we raise a concern in good faith, it will be addressed.
