Ideas That Matter Stories

For 20 years, Sappi has supported social impact work performed by designers. During this global crisis and racial justice movement, we checked in with our Ideas that Matter (ITM) community to see what they were up to. We were overwhelmed — but not surprised — to learn how this community continues to step up.
