■ Introduction
Buckeye is a global developer, manufacturer and marketer of renewable specialty fibers and nonwoven materials, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. Our products are sold worldwide to the makers of consumer and industrial goods. We are the only company in the world offering cellulose-based specialty products made from both wood and cotton and utilizing wetlaid and airlaid technologies.
Our operations are subject to extensive general and industry-specific environmental laws and regulations worldwide. We expect these requirements will become increasingly stringent with time and will continue to demand significant resources.
We are aware that the communities in which we work depend upon us not only for good jobs and fair wages, but also to behave in a way that will improve the quality of life, ensuring success for future generations.
We have built an outstanding reputation, and we understand the critical importance of continuously earning the trust of employees, customers, shareholders and the communities we serve. Even though the challenges on the horizon seem great, we have committed to a sustainability strategy that embraces the change necessary to protect the environment, ensure resources for future generations, and enhance long-term business and shareholder value.
