This document is a 2019 progress report submitted by Sappi Southern Africa Limited to the South African Department of Environmental Affairs regarding its Annual Pollution Prevention Plan for the 2018 calendar year, focusing specifically on Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions.

• Sappi Southern Africa Limited reports that while specific emission values per ton of manufactured product have decreased, overall absolute emissions have increased as the company upgrades operations to increase production.
• The report focuses exclusively on Scope 1 emissions, noting that sequestration is currently excluded from reporting, although biogenic CO2 from pulp and paper production processes has been calculated and stated.
• Operational performance in the reporting year varied by sector: paper mills saw a reduction in energy intensity due to efficiency improvements, whereas dissolving pulp production was negatively impacted by issues with the installation of new equipment.
• For the 2017 and 2018 calculations, the company utilized net calorific values for solid, gaseous, and liquid fuels provided by the South African Petroleum Industry Association and a 3% Assessment GWP, departing from the actual net calorific values used in 2016.
