A Principled Path to Sustainability

Throughout Verso’s history and continuing today, the Verso Foundation document—the framework for our core values, vision, mission and principles—guides our everyday decisions and keeps us focused on the things that matter most. One of these is an uncompromising respect for a sustainable balance among economic, social and environmental needs. The theme of the 2015 Verso Sustainability Report, “A Principled Path to Sustainability,” reflects not only how we achieve this balance, but also who we are as a company.

The 2015 report is organized according to Verso’s five sustainability principles, which focus on responsible sourcing, environmental and safety improvement, product stewardship, stakeholder partnerships and transparency. These principles serve as guideposts on our path to a sustainable future. Using continuous improvement as the yardstick to gauge our progress, our Verso team is dedicated to doing what’s right for our company, our customers, our communities and our planet. Their dedication moves us ever closer to achieving Verso’s vision to be a company with passion that is respected and trusted by all.
