Originally published in International Paper’s 2023 Sustainability Report

Healthy forests are essential to a healthy future for our planet: they mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration, clean our water and provide habitat that wildlife populations need to thrive. With more than 1.6 billion people reliant on them for their livelihoods, forests also deliver substantial economic benefits. And at International Paper, forests are at the heart of everything we do.

Maintaining the health, well-being and resilience of our forests is integral to global ecosystems — and our business model. That’s why we are committed to producing the products our customers need while being a responsible steward of the world’s natural resources.

Protecting forests in the face of a changing climate

International Paper’s success depends on the sustainability of forests — and so does the future of our planet. The health of our forests and the species that call them home is intricately connected to a changing climate. To maintain the powerful and diverse benefits that forests offer, we need to sustain working forest landscapes for generations to come. That means enabling reliable end markets for wood fiber so forest landowners will choose to keep their land forested and sustainably managed rather than selling it for other uses.

Conserving rather than converting forestland protects our planet by helping to regulate the climate and sustain essential ecosystems that support countless plant and animal species. With biodiversity loss accelerating and a growing number of animals and plants threatened with habitat loss, according to the United Nations, healthy forests can act as a safe harbor for nature. Healthy forests can also make ecosystems more resilient to the shocks brought on by extreme weather events and a changing climate.

When these ecosystems are sustainably managed, forests can play a critical role in mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration. That’s why we work closely with forest landowners, wood suppliers and other partners to avoid deforestation, promote responsible forestry practices that protect high conservation value forests, and ultimately ensure the integrity of forests for the years and decades to come.

Our responsibility to the land

As diligent stewards, our responsibility to protect natural resources begins with our relationships with landowners and suppliers. Given our dependence on sourcing renewable fiber from working forests, we aim to operate an unparalleled fiber procurement system that is consistent with our core values. Since nature-related impacts and dependencies are location specific, we take local, context-specific steps to responsible fiber sourcing to enhance the environmental values of the forests from which we source. To that end, we engage in responsible fiber sourcing, which includes:

Conducting due diligence throughout our supply chainValidating origin on direct uncertified fiber purchasesUsing mapping systems to monitor harvest activities and policy compliance via ForSite™, our geographic information system (GIS)

As we deliver on our Vision 2030 responsible fiber sourcing target, in 2023 we purchased and used:

48M tons of new and recycled fiber

5.2M tons of recovered fiber

Our Vision 2030 progress

Our leadership in forest stewardship centers on two targets that are driving progress toward our Vision 2030 goal.

Goal

Our approach

As complex ecosystems, forests support countless plant and animal species, regulate freshwater cycles and contribute to the overall ecological balance of our planet. International Paper recognizes that a sustainably managed forest is one that maintains and enhances economic, social and environmental values for the benefit of present and future generations. As one of the world’s largest users of wood fiber, we are passionate about pursuing forest conservation and restoration activities that complement our commitment to sustainable forest management and responsible sourcing. We further aim to enable healthy forest landscapes beyond our own supply chains by investing in research, restoration and conservation initiatives that benefit forests, watersheds and biodiversity.

Our approach to forest stewardship has three main elements: responsible fiber procurement, forest certification and collaboration with forest and wildlife conservation partners.

Disclosure on nature

We will continue to gather data on how we interact with biodiversity using our GIS-based sourcing platform, ForSite™ (see page 29). In 2024, International Paper will go through the scoping phase of the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) methodology across our sourcing and manufacturing footprint, with an intent to disclose information in 2025.

August 20, 2024 /3BL/ – Lenovo is proud to announce it was recognized as a 2024 Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion by the Disability Equality Index. The index is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool used by Fortune 1000 companies to measure disability workplace inclusion. Lenovo has been ranked on the index in the US for four years, and 2024 marks the first time the global technology powerhouse has been recognized in the United Kingdom and Brazil as a best place to work for disability inclusion.

In 2024, 542 corporations, including 71 of the Fortune 100, and 220 firms listed in the Fortune 500, utilized the Disability Equality Index to benchmark their disability inclusion efforts.

“On the 10th anniversary of the Disability Equality Index, we’re extremely proud of the 542 national and international companies that are taking a proactive role in leading progress towards disability inclusion, setting a benchmark for others to follow. Their dedication to fostering inclusive workplaces not only attracts top talent but also drives innovation and creates sustainable performance in today’s global market. Together, we are creating a future where everyone can contribute and thrive,” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN.

Lenovo is committed to ensuring accessibility and inclusion are instilled in its workforce. Employee resource groups: A Better Lenovo for Everyone (ABLE) in North America and Asia Pacific, People with Disability (PwD) in EMEA, and Lenovo Inclusion Plus (LEIN+) in Latin America, cultivate a culture of disability inclusion by fostering awareness, providing resources, and encouraging innovation.

“I’m proud to see Lenovo’s continued commitment to accessibility and best practices in the US, and also happy to see best practices and recognition spread to the United Kingdom and Brazil,” says Calvin Crosslin, Human Resources VP, Chief Diversity Officer, and Lenovo Foundation President at Lenovo. “It’s truly our employee resource groups that continue to be the catalyst for inclusion at Lenovo. They inspire and inform our programs like the PDO, Business Diversity and philanthropy while empowering the system-level changes driven by our D&I team. While this award helps our business shine, it could not be accomplished without our strong culture of inclusion in the workplace.”

People with disabilities represent 1.3 billion individuals worldwide. At Lenovo, we believe ‘Smarter Technology for All’ means for everyone; that’s why in 2020, Lenovo created its Product Diversity Office (PDO) to embed Diversity & Inclusion into its product design and development process. By 2025, 75% of Lenovo’s products will be vetted by inclusive design experts to ensure they work for everyone, regardless of physical attributes or abilities.

Lenovo has partnered with organizations in Brazil, the UK, and the US to create better access to technology for people with disabilities.

About the Disability Equality Index® 

The Disability Equality Index has become the leading independent, third-party resource for the annual benchmarking of corporate disability inclusion policies and programs, and is now trusted by more than 70% of the United States Fortune 100 and nearly half of the Fortune 500. Such companies must increasingly consider how emerging global reporting directives and stakeholder expectations surrounding social and corporate governance factors impact their operational, cultural, reputational and financial performance.

The Disability Equality Index is an objective, reflective, forward-thinking, and confidential disability rating tool designed to assist business in advancing inclusion practices. It is a comprehensive benchmark that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions across five scored categories: Culture & Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement, and Supplier Diversity. Participating companies receive a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those scoring 80 or higher earning the distinction of “Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion” for the benchmark year.

Findings from a two-year Global Disability Equality Index pilot informed the launch of a scored benchmark that opened in 2024 to seven new countries in addition to the United States. These include: Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Japan, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index has grown nearly 7x since 2015, expanding from 80 companies in its first year to 542 in 2024. Collectively, the 2024 edition received 753 submissions spanning the eight benchmarked countries.

In the UK, Leidos has partnered with Career Returners (formerly known as Women Returners), a free network community of over 8,500 professionals looking to return to the workplace, to launch Leidos Create.

Leidos Create was developed to support experienced STEM professionals in the Southwest of the UK who have been out of the employment market for 2-12 years return to skilled roles. The objective was to remove a common bias in the recruitment process: the career break penalty for women who have undertaken extended breaks to look after their families or other caring reasons.

Through our partnership with Career Returners, Leidos has accessed a highly skilled talent pool of women employees looking to resume their professional careers—particularly those with backgrounds in information systems, project management, supply chain and logistics, commercial and contracts, and risk and compliance.

Kay Mercer and Ajay Sahota are two professionals who found a new home at Leidos through the programme. Their candid stories and advice offer inspiration to other women looking to return to work.

Finding confidence to re-enter the workforce

After 23 years away from a full-time career, a period in which children were born, raised, and now starting careers of their own, Kay Mercer wanted to get back into the workplace. Starting her career as a programming analyst and later working in IT service delivery, Kay worried the skills she’d developed in her earlier career were no longer relevant. She lacked the confidence to apply for most jobs and spent months trawling the internet hoping she’d find something that might work.

“Most of the jobs were either too basic for what I was looking for, like admin data entry, or too high brow, where I’d need to project manage a team or something like that. I remember thinking, ‘gosh, I can’t do that.’”

Kay was struggling to find something in between where she’d also benefit from the support she needed to go back into work.

“I just didn’t have the confidence to turn up at work and get started again,” she explained.

Kay recognised she hadn’t done a formal interview for some time and was worried her lack of practice might impact her job prospects. This, combined with no experience of remote working platforms like Microsoft Teams, felt like a barrier she’d struggle to overcome.

Fortunately for Kay, she discovered the training Career Returners offers, both for interviews and in the new ways of working that emerged after the pandemic. This led to a role with Leidos as a supply chain analyst.

The flexible, hybrid nature of the role at Leidos, Kay quickly discovered, was also a major draw. “My manager enables me to work flexibly from home and from the office through Leidos’ dynamic working programme; this has been a huge help with the adjustment.”

Beyond the flexibility, Kay also credits the team she’s joined as helping her find her feet and regain the confidence she’d previously lacked.

My manager has been incredibly supportive. I have a one-to-one chat with him every week, and he supports me with training opportunities and is always happy to answer my questions.

Pivoting to a different industry

Ajay Sahota had the “perfect start” to her career. After graduating with a degree in food technology, she landed a job with Nestlé based in India. When she was ready for a change, Ajay emigrated to the U.K. and found she had to start from scratch. Fortunately, she found roles as a technical manager in her industry.

But after having three children in quick succession, Ajay decided to take a career break. “It was the best decision I made in my life,” she says.

To maintain her expertise and stay current, she started a consultancy business with her husband, which also gave her flexibility while raising a growing family. After a decade of success, COVID-19 struck. “This pause gave me the opportunity to rethink my future and its direction,” she reflects.

With her kids in a more independent stage and a desire to pivot to a different industry, Ajay decided to enroll in an MBA program at Imperial College, London. Graduating in 2023, Ajay decided now was her opportunity to return to the corporate world.

Despite her impressive qualifications and experience, Ajay struggled to find her next challenge. “People just see that 10-year gap, even though I was working – I wasn’t not working at all.”

Ajay spoke of the challenges of breaking into a new industry. “I would still get offers for technical manager roles in the food industry. But I didn’t want to go back to that role. I wanted to leverage my MBA and move into a different sector.”

Eventually, a family friend recommended the Career Returners programme, which is how she first came across Leidos. Unsure where she would fit best, Ajay worked with Leidos’ hiring manager after months of applying for roles and getting knocked back.

“She was very forthcoming and helpful, understanding that I was returning to work and recognising my need for additional support,” Ajay shares. “She could see how my skills, acquired over my career, fit into a role they had available, even though I hadn’t applied for that position.

Together, they decided that her skills fit the role of a benefits realisation manager.

You might not realise how relevant your skills are, and it can be challenging to effectively market them yourself.

Benefits Realisation Manager, Leidos UK & Europe

Training and resources for returning to the workplace

Ajay explains the type of training she received through the Career Returners programme – both before she started at Leidos and while she settles into her new role – consisted of four coaching sessions.

The first, Ajay says, is how to introduce yourself. “It’s really an icebreaker. When you come back, you don’t know how much to say, and how much to dwell on. How do you let people know who you are?” Ajay hints that this was the moment she started regaining her confidence.

The second session helps participants identify goals and career paths, while the third focuses on networking to ensure professional development. Ajay is looking forward to her fourth session on celebrating achievements and action planning for the future.

Kay feels the training Leidos offers – helping her learn new skills and continue her professional development – has been essential. “I don’t know if it’s this way at other companies nowadays but compared to my previous employers, it’s been incredible.”

​But it’s the friendship she forged with Ajay through Career Returners that really helped Kay.

“We swapped numbers, and we message from time to time, checking on each other and seeing how the other one is getting on,” Kay shares. “It’s important because you’ve got someone going through the same thing as you, and I’ve really appreciated that extra source of support.”

Ajay is grateful for the support she has received along the way and spoke fondly of Kay, her fellow returner, and her colleagues who she now considers friends. “People do help, you just have to have the courage to ask for it and say you need it,” she admits.

When asked what advice she’d give to other women considering returning to work after a career break, Kay offers some useful pointers.

“I think it’s about being brave enough to try it. Also, when you start, be kind to yourself and don’t expect too much too early. You’re always going to feel a lot of pressure, pressure to be doing more or learning quicker, but really, you need to recognise that it’s a process and one you’re more than capable of completing.”

Success often starts with an opportunity and a connection. 

For the past two summers, U.S. Bank intern Alex Bryant has been working with the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion program to help teach high school students basic programming skills. 

“I had an opportunity to instill this love of technology and coding into students and it was awesome to pass on that knowledge,” Bryant said. “It was a really enriching experience.”

Bryant, a rising senior at Emory University in Atlanta, is wrapping up her summer internship at U.S. Bank where she has been working in software development, focusing on user interface design and implementation and AI/machine learning. 

Bryant was one of a dozen U.S. Bank interns who took part in the Girls Who Code Intern Meet-up event in Atlanta. This marks one of the first Girls Who Code Intern Meet-up events held nationally. 

U.S. Bank recently hosted the event at its Elavon offices in partnership with Girls Who Code, a leading nonprofit organization focused on closing the gender gap in technology. The bank has served as a corporate sponsor with Girls Who Code for more than seven years, investing over $1 million in the organization. 

The meet-up included 30 Girls Who Code college students and early career people representing12 universities and an additional 12 U.S. Bank interns. The goal was to create a networking opportunity for U.S. Bank leaders, interns and Girls Who Code participants to meet and engage with each other. U.S. Bank Chief Information Officer for Payment Services Rachel Hansen served as the host and addressed the group. 

“It is critical that we continue to provide opportunities for these young women,” Hansen said. “Girls Who Code is a super important organization to partner with. It helps us create a diverse environment, which is extremely valuable and takes involvement from everyone.”  

A panel of U.S. Bank leaders covered topics that included mentorship and allyship, landing a first job in technology, career advancement and upskilling, how to search and apply for jobs, interviewing skills and how to stand out in a competitive job market. 

“Girls Who Code meetups provide a sense of community,” Bryant said. “It’s nice to have a support system for personal and professional growth.”

According to Girls Who Code, the organization has served 670,000 young women and non-binary students over its 10-year history. In the 2023-24 academic year, Girls Who Code served nearly 100,000 girls, women and nonbinary individuals.

Our team recently had the pleasure of volunteering at the Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County ReStore, and it was an incredibly rewarding experience. We dedicated our day to organizing both the warehouse and the sales floor, ensuring that the vast inventory was displayed in a way that would enhance customer flow. This effort is crucial as it directly impacts the efficiency and appeal of the store, making it easier for customers to find what they need and enjoy their shopping experience.

The impact of our efforts extends far beyond just organizing items. The revenue generated from the ReStore is essential for funding Habitat for Humanity’s home-building projects. By enhancing the store’s layout and improving the customer experience, we are helping to ensure a steady flow of funds that support the construction of homes for families in need. This meaningful connection between our volunteer work and the organization’s mission made our day even more fulfilling. We are honored to support such a vital cause and to play a part in fostering the growth and well-being of our community.
