Brussels (Belgium) - Sappi, the world's leading producer of coated fine paper, recently announced the names of designers and the causes they promote that will share the annual US$1 million Sappi Ideas that Matter grant.

Andre Oberholzer, Group Head of Corporate Affairs for Sappi Limited commented, "The Sappi Ideas that Matter initiative supports three distinct objectives. Firstly, as a core element of Sappi's social responsibility activities aimed at supporting good causes in society. Secondly, it demonstrates our commitment to the design and advertising industries and recognises their contribution to society and thirdly, it encourages creativity in the use of paper and helps to show the power of print as an essential medium of communication."
