MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- International Paper has been recognized by the Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices, as one of the 2018 World's Most Ethical Companies.

International Paper has been recognized for twelve consecutive years, and is one of only two honorees in the forestry, paper and packaging industry, underscoring their commitment to leading with integrity and prioritizing ethical business practices.

In 2018, 135 honorees were recognized, spanning 23 countries and 57 industries. The twelfth class of honorees had record levels of involvement with their stakeholders and their communities around the world. Measuring and improving culture, leading authentically and committing to transparency, diversity and inclusion were all priorities for honorees.

"As a company, we value character as much as capability. We look for all our 52,000 employees across the globe who not only have talent, skills and work ethic, but who also are dedicated to the principle of doing the right things, in the right ways, for the right reasons, all of the time. This is the IPWay," said Mark Sutton, Chairman and CEO. "It is an honor to once again be included on this list and to be among companies whose principles and practices uphold the highest standards of ethics and corporate social responsibility."

The World's Most Ethical Companies continued to show exemplary leadership," explained Ethisphere's CEO, Timothy Erblich. "I congratulate everyone at International Paper for being recognized as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies."
