FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE
Sustainability Report 2020

WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE? 
Enviva exists to displace 
coal, grow more trees,  
and fight climate change
Follow us on social media @Enviva
Displace coal: 
Bioenergy is part of an all-in strategy to reduce carbon  
emissions and limit dependence on fossil fuels. Wood pellets 
enable power and heat generators to directly replace coal, 
providing customers around the world with a renewable fuel source 
that improves the environmental profile of energy generation.
Grow more trees: 
Key to keeping forests as forests is strong demand for forest 
products. We create an essential market for low-value wood that 
encourages good forest stewardship and creates incentives for 
forest landowners to replant and keep their land as forest.
Fight climate change: 
The world cannot afford to delay taking decisive climate action, 
and we need to apply practical solutions available today to this 
global challenge. According to the leading authority on climate 
change science, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel 
on Climate Change (IPCC), “a sustainable forest management 
strategy aimed at maintaining or increasing forest carbon 
stocks – while producing an annual sustained yield of timber, 
fiber, or energy from the forest – will generate the largest 
sustained mitigation benefit for climate change.” Enviva plays 
a critical role in promoting sustainable forest management 
and forest growth while helping the world’s energy producers 
substantially reduce their carbon emissions.

Enviva is the world’s largest producer of sustainable 
wood pellets that provide global power and heat 
generation companies with a low-carbon alternative 
to fossil fuels. We export our wood pellets primarily 
to the United Kingdom, Europe, the Caribbean and 
Japan, enabling global utilities to reduce carbon 
emissions by more than 85% on a lifecycle basis. 
Our product helps countries and consumers 
around the world as they transition to a renewable, 
dispatchable, low-carbon fuel in an effort to mitigate 
climate change, one of the most challenging issues 
of our time.
As we grow and evolve, we continue to work 
closely with our local communities and scientific 
experts, private forest landowners, conservation 
organizations, and a broad range of stakeholders 
to ensure our operations and wood sourcing do 
not negatively impact the local environment and 
surrounding communities. 
We view sustainability as part of our core 
value proposition, and we’ve organized this 
publication – our first Sustainability Report – around 
our values of Forests, Climate Change, and People 
to demonstrate how Enviva’s corporate strategy and 
operations align with our approach to sustainability.
This Sustainability Report provides an overview 
of Enviva’s 16-year sustainability journey from our 
humble beginnings as a start-up (2004) through 
today’s corporate lens of being a publicly traded 
company with a global footprint (2020). 
The data and company results presented in this 
Sustainability Report reflect our sustainability 
efforts  and achievements for the 2019 calendar 
year (January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019). 
We conduct our activities primarily through two 
entities: Enviva Partners, LP (referred to as EVA 
in this report) – which is a publicly traded master 
limited partnership (NYSE: EVA); and Enviva 
Holdings, LP (Enviva Holdings) – a private company. 
All references in this Sustainability Report to Enviva 
mean EVA and Enviva Holdings, collectively.
We invite you to read and learn about our 
sustainability journey and look forward to 
engaging and partnering with you on our 
sustainability efforts.

Enviva Sustainability Report 2020

Letter from our 
Chairman and CEO
Learning As We Grow
It is a privilege to share with you Enviva’s 
first-ever Sustainability Report. 
In truth, I wish we had published a 
foundational report like this one earlier in 
our company’s journey, in order to give our 
broad and varied stakeholder groups a 
more robust and transparent review of our 
efforts and aspirations. This document is 
a milestone not only because it begins to 
describe how far we have come, but also 
how far we have yet to go. It is a reflection 
of the journey that began when we founded 
Enviva 16 years ago and a confirmation 
of the opportunities ahead for us to 
fundamentally change the complex equation 
of energy and the environment. 
How we do so – particularly as it relates to 
the way we care for People, Forests, and 
Climate Change – will ultimately be our 
legacy. The choices we make every day 
about how we grow and adapt will have 
lasting impacts for generations to come. 
As a young company with ambitious goals 
building a new industry, we’ve made great 
strides. We’ve also faced some growing 
pains. We haven’t always gotten things 
right. But a hallmark of who we are is our 
willingness to listen, learn, and change the 
range of outcomes for our business. We 
have succeeded because of our strong 
commitment to continuous improvement. 
A good example of this is the way we have 
evaluated and evolved our wood sourcing. 
“We will continue to work to ensure 
that good biomass protects forest 
health and enables an energy 
transition that puts our planet on a 
path to a net-zero carbon future.” 
We source our raw materials from a wide 
range of forest suppliers, and we purchase 
the lowest value wood byproducts from a 
traditional sawtimber harvest. Over time, 
we’ve learned that how we make specific 
tract-level decisions can have significant 
environmental impact – positive or 
negative – on certain ecosystems such as 
bottomland hardwoods. With help from the 
conservation community, we have evolved 
our systems and processes to favorably 
impact the broader landscape by working 
directly with landowners and suppliers to 
make individual sourcing decisions about 
each tract we consider. 
Over the past decade, we have transformed 
our sourcing such that every tract we 
consider gets on the ground, direct 
attention. Today our processes ensure 
that harvesting is the right ecological 
outcome for each tract – or we simply 
won’t be a part of it. We now engage 
directly with landowners and suppliers 
to help them understand why particular 
landscapes may be sensitive and to give 
them options other than harvest, like 
conservation easements and carbon 
offsets, that deliver value to their forest 
land. Along with this direct engagement, we 
are changing outcomes and improving the 
environmental sustainability of our product 
through emission reductions and increased 
transparency in our supply chain. 
At Enviva, our first value is keeping 
promises, and I promise this: As we 
continue to grow, we will continue to 
welcome the input of all our stakeholders – 
our local communities, environmental 
organizations, the forest products 
community, and beyond – and work to 
ensure that good biomass protects forest 
health and enables an energy transition that 
puts our planet on the path to a net-zero 
carbon future. 
Sustainability is not a singular achievement 
but a philosophy of improvement that 
applies to all aspects of our business. I’m 
grateful for our associates, our communities, 
partners, and the conservation community 
that encourage us to continually raise the 
bar on sustainability. 
We are privileged to have this opportunity –  
particularly as the worldwide events of 
2020 have heightened the urgent need for 
companies to power positive change. One 
of my favorite proverbs states: “The best 
time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The 
second best time is today.” Against this 
backdrop, we will have the greatest impact if 
we can move quickly and decisively to effect 
better outcomes for People, Forests, and 
Climate Change. 
The task ahead for all of us is large, but our 
track record reflects how big a difference we 
believe we can make. Thank you for joining 
us on this journey.
My very best, 
John Keppler

Enviva Sustainability Report 2020

Letter from our CSO
Our approach to sustainability is organized 
around the three things we care most 
passionately about: Forests, Climate 
Change, and People. These things are 
interlinked and interdependent – you 
can’t think about providing energy today 
without also considering its impact on the 
atmosphere and the land, and you can’t 
think about protecting the environment 
without considering how energy will be 
sourced and dispatched to countries, 
companies, and people in our growing, 
global economy. And it’s becoming 
abundantly clear each day that you can’t 
truly fight climate change without also 
practicing excellent forest stewardship.
Forests
We seek to improve forest conditions 
on the ground while sourcing wood for 
our pellets. We do this, for example, 
by investing in restoration activities, 
where our purchases of low-value wood 
encourage landowners to restore their 
forests back to longleaf pine. We invest 
in forest certification partnerships 
where we assist landowners with 
writing forest management plans and 
enroll their land in forest management 
certification programs. And over 
time, we’ve established sourcing 
requirements and processes – such 
as our Best Management Practices 
(BMP) implementation procedures, our 
Responsible Sourcing Policy (RSP), our 
Track & Trace® technology, and our High 
Conservation Value (HCV) protection 
policies – that raise the bar for the forest 
“Our promise to you, our 
stakeholders, is that we will carry 
out our work to improve forests, 
mitigate climate change, and support 
people with a spirit of openness, 
humility, and respect.”
products industry in the regions where 
we operate.
Climate Change 
The climate challenge is enormous, and 
given the scale of fossil fuel utilization 
today, there is simply no way we’ll be 
able to replace all fossil fuels with wood 
biomass, but that is not our aspiration. 
We see biomass as a critical enabler of 
other renewable technologies – a source 
of reliable, dispatchable, baseload power 
that can be switched on and off to provide 
power during the days and times of the 
year when the wind isn’t blowing and the 
sun isn’t shining.
As an export-led industry, we contribute 
positively to the United States’ balance 
of trade with the world, supporting the 
economy with growth in renewables as 
we wind down traditional energy industries 
like coal.
People 
At Enviva, we set high standards for 
ourselves – and we work passionately 
to meet and exceed them on behalf 
of our customers and communities 
around the globe. We would not be in 
business today without the support of 
our communities, which is why we work 
diligently to support and empower the 
people who live in the areas where we 
operate. By providing a low-carbon fuel 
for customers around the world, we’re 
supporting the world community in the 
fight against climate change.
Over the years we’ve heard criticism from 
some of our stakeholders. We’ve listened 
and we’re listening. In this report, we seek 
to explain and to demonstrate with data 
how we are addressing that feedback. For 
example, some were concerned about 
Enviva’s early sourcing from bottomland 
hardwood stands – and we’ve established 
strict procedures that enable us to exert 
much stronger tract-by-tract control over 
our sourcing. Others were concerned 
about the greenhouse gas impacts of our 
industry – we explain here how we believe 
wood biomass fits into the forest products 
industry as well as the energy grid, and 
how good biomass provides a lower-
carbon renewable alternative, consistent 
with guidance provided by international 
bodies such as the Intergovernmental 
Panel on Climate Change.
Our promise to you, our stakeholders, is 
that we will carry out our work to improve 
forests, mitigate climate change, and 
support people with a spirit of openness, 
humility, and respect. We are determined 
to make a difference, and we will continue 
to act with integrity.
Yours in forest stewardship,
Dr. Jennifer Jenkins

Overview of Forestry  
in the U.S. South
The Forest
The U.S. South forest is one of the most 
vigorous areas of forest regrowth in the 
world and provides approximately 1/5th of 
the timber that is used globally each year 
to make long-lived wood products such as 
telephone poles, houses, furniture, books 
and more.
Although Enviva does not own any 
forests, we play an important role in 
helping U.S. forests thrive and grow. 
Approximately 86% of forest land in the 
U.S. South is managed by thousands of 
private landowners, primarily to produce 
timber for a variety of wood products.  
The overwhelming majority of the revenue 
received by a landowner from a timber 
harvest is concentrated in high-value 
sawtimber.
Conservation and restoration are 
especially important in the U.S. South, 
because this region sits within The North 
American Coastal Plain global biodiversity 
hotspot, one of 36 regions in the world 
identified by conservation experts as 
having over 1,500 species of vascular 
plants found nowhere else and that have 
lost over 70% of their primary native 
vegetation.
Working forests in the U.S. South are a 
thriving ecosystem, providing value for 
climate and people. The robust market 
for forest products drives forest growth 
and economic activity. To understand 
how our industry relates to the overall 
forest products market, we need to 
begin with the forest itself.
Compared to the Western U.S., the U.S. 
South has a relatively small percentage 
of public lands (state and federal) and 
private protected forest lands, (i.e. lands 
managed for biodiversity conservation 
in perpetuity). The high percentage of 
private ownership in the U.S. South, 
combined with the region’s high 
concentrations of threatened endemic 
species, make biodiversity conservation 
and habitat restoration particularly 
important on private lands.
Strong markets for forest products make 
forest land more valuable, and this is one 
important reason why landowners choose 
to keep their land in forest.

Enviva’s Role in Forestry 
The Role of Pellets in the Forests 
of the U.S. Southeast
Of all the wood that is harvested in the 
U.S. Southeast each year, only about 3% 
is used for wood pellets. Enviva is a small 
but important part of the forest products 
industry in the areas where we operate. 
We provide an essential market for low-
value wood that would otherwise be left 
as waste or burned by the landowner or 
that landowners have no other means 
to monetize. In general, biomass is 
a low-value commodity that does not 
drive harvest decisions for landowners; 
however, it does create a profitable 
forestry market that financially incentivizes 
forest landowners to continue to grow 
more trees while deterring landowners 
from converting their property to non-
forest use. 
The value of a piece of wood is 
determined by its quality, not its size, 
and Enviva only purchases low-value, 
sustainably sourced wood that can be 
turned into “Good Biomass”.
Enviva produces wood pellets 
using responsible sourcing 
practices that keep our forests 
thriving, healthy, and growing.
HERE IS WHAT GOOD BIOMASS LOOKS LIKE TO US:
Good biomass is made from low-value wood  
that is a by-product of a sawmill operation  
or a planned traditional timber harvest.
Good biomass is not made from  
high-value trees that instead could be used  
for longer-lived products.
Good biomass comes from a region where  
forest carbon stocks are stable or increasing.
Good biomass comes from a forest that is  
returned to forest after harvest, and not from land  
that will be converted to agriculture or development.
Good biomass comes from harvest practices  
that safeguard biodiversity.
At Enviva, we work to produce good biomass every day so 
that biomass can do good for forests, people, and climate.

Forest Stewardship

Other elements  
of responsible sourcing:
Master Wood Purchase 
Agreement 
Our Master Wood Purchase Agreement, 
which exists between Enviva and all our 
suppliers, lays out binding commercial 
and sustainability requirements for 
all wood purchases that we ensure 
adherence to via our Track & Trace® 
program, among other safeguards. 
Pre-Harvest Assessments 
Using remote sensing and on-site 
evaluations to confirm tract details, 
Enviva’s sustainability and procurement 
staff inspect tracts prior to harvest to 
ensure they meet our sustainability 
standards. If our professional foresters 
do not believe that harvest is the best 
outcome for that tract at that time, we 
will not purchase wood from the site and 
we work with the landowner to identify 
other options, such as conservation.
Gate Inspections 
We inspect wood at our facility 
gatehouses and screen for large 
diameter roundwood, tree species, and 
harvest origin. If the wood on the truck 
does not meet our specifications, we do 
not accept the delivery. 
Post-Harvest Inspections 
and Auditing
Our sustainability and procurement 
foresters conduct post-harvest 
assessments and work to bring all tracts 
into compliance with our stated policies. 
In 2019, Enviva set a record for auditing, 
by visiting almost triple the number of 
inspections compared to 2018. We also 
established remote sensing procedures 
to monitor forest regrowth for all tracts. 
Responsible Sourcing Policy
We source our wood pursuant to our 
Responsible Sourcing Policy (RSP) 
– strict sourcing guidelines that hold 
Enviva to the highest standards of 
sustainability, integrity, forest stewardship, 
and continuous improvement. Our RSP 
framework highlights our commitment 
to forest stewardship at three scales 
of operation.

Track & Trace®
Providing transparent information about 
our wood supply is fundamental to 
our values of openness and integrity. 
Developed in 2016 and deployed in 2017, 
our industry-leading Track & Trace® (T&T®) 
technology has been our flagship platform 
for open communication and has proven 
mission critical in monitoring, tracking, 
and reporting exactly where all our wood 
is sourced.
The Track & Trace program enables us 
to monitor and report our supply chain as 
wood travels by the truckload from the 
forest to the wood pellet production plant.
This proprietary system equips our network 
with detailed insights into the origin of our 
feedstocks, which we routinely update 
and make available to the public on our 
website. For example, before selling wood 
to Enviva, a supplier is required to provide 
detailed data on the specific forest tract 
being considered for harvest (including 
each individual tract’s precise geographic 
location, acreage, forest type, species mix, 
age, and the share of wood from each 
harvest that goes to Enviva versus other 
consumers). 
Enviva then records the data and uses 
third-party auditors to validate our 
processes to assure ourselves and our 
stakeholders that we are upholding our 
commitment to honesty and integrity within 
our sourcing standards. In addition, our 
T&T technology also tracks every ton of 
wood that we do not purchase from each 
tract (i.e., we trace not only the wood we 
purchase, but also the wood we don’t) so 
we know who purchases it.
In 2019, we began the process of 
improving our T&T standard by piloting 
GPS and blockchain technologies into 
our T&T systems. Over the next year, we 
expect our sourcing systems to be fully 
compliant with our new T&T Standard 
enabling us to improve efficiency, increase 
transparency, and better validate our data 
by a third party. 
We currently identify and publish the 
source of our primary wood supply 
through our Track & Trace® platform.

Certification
Enviva is certified to industry-leading 
global forest certification systems, 
and we work together with landowners 
to encourage them to enroll in forest 
management certification as well.
Third Party Certification 
Enviva holds several independent forestry 
certifications to ensure we meet industry-
leading sustainability requirements across 
our sourcing regions. 
We maintain independent forestry 
certifications including the Sustainable 
Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) Fiber 
Sourcing Standard as well as the Forest 
Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Chain of 
Custody Standard, the Programme for 
the Endorsement of Forest Certification 
(PEFC) Chain of Custody Standard, and 
the SFI Chain of Custody Standard.
Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) 
Additionally, Enviva’s operations are fully 
certified by the Sustainable Biomass 
Program (SBP) Standard, which is a 
risk-based certification process designed 
to ensure that woody biomass used in 
industrial energy production is responsibly 
and sustainably sourced. Enviva’s 
Chairman and CEO, John Keppler, serves 
on the Board of this non-profit, standard-
setting organization, along with other 
representatives from biomass producers, 
biomass end users, and civil society.
Forest Management Groups 
Forest management certification provides 
forest landowners with professional advice 
about forest management to help their 
forests thrive. At Enviva, we encourage 
all landowners to enroll in some type of 
forest management certification because 
we believe proper forest management is 
imperative to healthy and thriving forests. 
To this point, we provide landowners with 
access to third-party forest management 
certification at no cost – and landowners 
have no obligation to sell their low-value 
wood to Enviva if they choose to enroll. 
Through our Independently Managed 
Groups (IMGs), we offer the option for 
certification through either the American 
Tree Farm System (ATFS) or FSC 
program. Between 2015 and 2019, we 
successfully enrolled over 90,000 acres 
in forest management certification and, in 
2019, one out of every seven Tree Farm 
acres in North Carolina was held in our 
IMG.

The Evolution of Enviva’s 
Forest Stewardship

Conservation and Restoration 
To help maintain this critically diverse 
forest landscape, we invest in conservation 
programs that make it possible for 
landowners to set aside their sensitive 
land rather than harvest. And by sourcing 
low-value wood, our operations actively 
enable landowners to maintain – even 
increase – landscape diversity by 
assisting with forest restoration.
Our sourcing procedures include 
provisions for locating and avoiding 
potentially high conservation value (HCV) 
areas. We work collaboratively with local 
conservation partners to ensure that we 
understand and reflect their preferences – 
and the latest science – as we develop our 
sourcing procedures.
Enviva Forest Conservation Fund 
Launched in 2015, the Enviva Forest 
Conservation Fund (EFCF) is a $5 million, 
10-year program sponsored by Enviva 
and by the U.S. Endowment for Forestry 
& Communities. The fund was designed 
to protect 35,000 acres, which equates to 
14,164 hectares of sensitive bottomland 
forests in Southeast Virginia and North 
Carolina’s coastal plain.
Each year, the Enviva Forest Conservation 
Fund awards matching-fund grants to non-
profit organizations to permanently protect 
ecologically sensitive areas and preserve 
working forests.

Blue Ribbon Panel and Bottomland 
Hardwood Task Force
In May 2016, the U.S. Endowment for 
Forestry & Communities and Enviva 
brought together a “blue-ribbon panel” 
consisting of more than 45 environmental 
and forestry experts, including members 
from state forestry and wildlife agencies, 
universities, and conservation groups. 
This expert group worked to help Enviva 
develop specific criteria for defining 
sensitive forests at the tract level.
Following that session, we continued 
our work on responsible sourcing in 
bottomland systems with a smaller group 
of 18 conservation partners who met 
several times from October 2016 to March 
2018. Our Bottomland Hardwood Task 
Force provided us with ongoing feedback 
on our revised sourcing procedures and 
helped us to hone the processes that we 
use today.

As part of our RSP Implementation 
Planning process, in 2019 we kicked 
off work with The Earthworm Foundation 
and NatureServe on a collaborative 
effort to expand our HCV procedures 
to include upland forests by identifying 
specific HCV indicators and developing 
sourcing protocols enabling us to avoid 
HCV areas as we make feedstock 
purchasing decisions.
Regional Conservation Teams
Enviva’s expansion into Mississippi 
provided us with an opportunity to mitigate 
sustainability risks and seek conservation 
opportunities in the Pascagoula region. 
In November 2019, we convened 
our first Gulf-Region Conservation 
Group, including representatives 
from Wildlife Mississippi, Mississippi 
Wildlife Federation, Mississippi Forestry 
Association, Mississippi Forestry 
Commission, Mississippi Department of 
Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, Alabama 
Wildlife Federation, Alabama Department 
of Conservation of Natural Resources, 
and Resources, and Mississippi State 
University, among others. 
We have relied on this group of partners 
for insight into conservation priorities in 
this ecologically rich region, and we look 
forward to their continued collaboration.
Due to the success of this collaboration, 
we have convened a similar Mid-
Atlantic Conservation Team in 2020 
which includes our Chesapeake and 
Wilmington regions.
The forests of the U.S. South are a matrix 
of interconnected and diverse stands, and 
these forests provide critical ecosystem 
services for humanity.

historic significance to their families, on 
our shared conservation mission.

 Enviva’s 2019 Impact Report
At Enviva, we know that our long-term 
success relies on the continued health  
of forests from which we source.
L O N G L EA F  
PA R T N ER S H I P 
As landowners seek to earn returns 
from their ownership of forest land, there 
are several ways that forest product 
companies can make an impact. At 
Enviva, the value we place on forests 
includes a commitment to keep forests 
as forests and to help conserve rare and 
threatened species and ecosystems as 
is laid out in our Responsible Sourcing 
Policy (RSP). Because Enviva can make 
use of low-value wood, we are uniquely 
positioned to facilitate markets for 
forest restoration projects that require 
clearing and thinning. The longleaf 
pine is a critical pine forest ecosystem 
in the U.S. Southeast. Longleaf pine 
forests are considered high conservation 
value (HCV) because of their rarity and 
biodiversity value.
Historically, longleaf forests extended 
from Virginia to Texas, encompassing 
over 90 million acres, but by 2005, 
only 2.6 million acres remained, about 
2.2% of their original extent1. Almost 
all the longleaf forests had been 
converted to farmland, planted as 
other Southern Yellow Pine species, 
or lost to development. Furthermore, 
many longleaf stands are in degraded 
conditions, primarily because their 
canopies and/or mid-story are too dense, 
which shades out critical ground story 
plant communities. This excessive wood 
biomass build-up also inhibits using 
frequent, low-intensity prescribed fire, 
which is key for the maintenance of the 
fire-adapted/fire-dependent understory 
plant communities in well maintained 
longleaf habitats (and other pine 
savannas).
Coincidentally, many of our wood pellet 
production plants are located in the 
historic range of longleaf pine, which 
allows us to play an important role in the 
restoration of longleaf stands as part of 
our sourcing. To date, we’ve supported 
longleaf restoration in two ways: 1) By 
providing markets for thinning restoration 
of existing longleaf stands on state and 
federal lands, including in the Croatan 
National Forest (NC), Fort Jackson (SC), 
Geneva State Wildlife Management Area 
(AL), and Eglin Air Force Base (FL); and 
2) By supporting the planting of longleaf 
on suitable sites by providing a market 
for low-value loblolly or sand pine that 
needed to be clear-cut, including at 
Torreya State Park (FL).
In 2019, we began to seek out longleaf 
restoration opportunities on private 
lands, planning to help certify and restore 
500 acres of longleaf forests around our 
Hamlet plant in North Carolina through 
a pilot program. In North Carolina, we 
identified 775 acres of longleaf stands 
in need of restoration-oriented biomass 
harvesting. In Florida, we recruited 
landowners who have at least 249 acres 
they want to restore to longleaf around 
our Cottondale plant. 
“If I hadn’t had a market for the biomass 
[on my property] it would have taken 
several years to do by hand and it may 
not have been done at all. If there was no 
market for this biomass, where would it 
go? We wouldn’t have the restoration that 
we’re able to have because of markets for 
wood pellets.”

The Evolution of Enviva’s 
Forest Stewardship

Furthermore, to assist landowners wanting 
to conserve forestlands like rare bottomland 
hardwood forests, we established the 
Enviva Forest Conservation Fund. Founded 
in 2015 with a goal to help conserve 35,000 
acres of bottomland hardwood forests 
over 10 years, through 2019, the Fund has 
helped permanently conserve over 15,000 
acres of bottomland hardwoods across 
Southeast Virginia and Northeast North 
Carolina.
In 2019, we released our new Responsible 
Sourcing Policy, which included a provision 
to further support the conservation of 
bottomland hardwood forests. We will 
soon announce a new partnership and 
program in addition to the Enviva Forest 
Conservation Fund that will help many 
more landowners with sensitive bottomland 
hardwood tracts to choose conservation 
over harvest to achieve their financial 
objectives.
The shift toward intentional sourcing and 
transparency on a tract by tract basis is a 
transformational turning point in Enviva’s 
sustainability journey – driven by a desire 
to improve, educate and develop close 
working relationships with our community 
and conservation partners in every region 
that we operate in.

 Enviva’s High Conservation 
Value Policies
We founded Enviva to transform the

by using low-quality wood, one of the world’s 
greatest renewable natural resources. 
T H E  E VO L U T I O N  O F  E N V I VA ’S 
F O R E ST  S T EWA R D S H I P
We aspire to make positive change in every 
aspect of our business. But as a forest 
products company, we didn’t go far enough 
in our early stewardship efforts to improve 
ecological outcomes from the forest 
harvests we were involved in.
When we started our operations in the U.S. 
Southeast back in 2010, we often deferred 
our decisions about wood sourcing to larger, 
more established loggers, dealers, and 
forest products companies. We believed 
our influence was limited because we 
purchased the lowest-value wood from 
stands where the landowners had already 
made the decision to harvest. At our small 
scale, we did not appreciate the potential 
positive impact we could have on the 
landscape through the intentional decisions 
we could make around wood fiber sourcing.
We located our first plants in Southeast 
Virginia and Northeast North Carolina in part 
because of the closure of a large hardwood 
paper mill in the region, which had long relied 
on hardwood pulpwood sourced from the 
region’s many bottomland forests.
Although we maintained meticulous third-
party forest sustainability certifications and 
secured independent, third-party audits of 
our supply chain, over time, and with help 
from local environmental partners and the 
conservation community, we realized we 
could do more. We recognized that our 
impact could be much greater if we worked 
directly with landowners and suppliers to 
help improve outcomes on the ground, 
especially for the most sensitive tracts. 
With their help, we developed and 
implemented the new, innovative controls 
necessary to help us evaluate our own 
wood sourcing decisions on a tract by tract 
basis, especially from High Conservation 
Value (HCV) bottomlands and from poorly 
drained and flood-prone bottomland sites. 
As we grew, our perspective changed. 
Instead of taking landowners’ decisions 
to harvest as a static outcome, and 
potentially receiving wood from harvests 
that should not happen, we evolved and 
implemented much stricter controls. We 
restricted our sourcing from bottomland 
hardwood HCVs by applying clear and 
consistent tract approval procedures 
that mean that we are present earlier in 
a landowner’s decision-making process 
about how, when, and, even if, harvest is 
appropriate for a site. 
Based on our commitment to integrity, 
forest stewardship, and continuous 
improvement, we continuously improve 
our sourcing policies and procedures, 
informed by honest, ongoing feedback 
from the conservation community, 
government officials, our suppliers, 
and landowners. Only if we and our 
conservation and sustainability foresters 
can conclude that harvest is the best, 
most appropriate outcome for that tract 
will we accept material from the land – 
and only if the landowner has agreed to 
replant it as a forest.

Climate Impact
As recognized by groups like the UN 
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 
(IPCC), sustainable biomass energy is 
part of an all-in solution to address global 
climate change by providing a low-carbon, 
renewable, cost-effective, dispatchable 
alternative to fossil fuel energy generation.
At Enviva, we are dedicated to supplying 
our customers with a sustainable solution 
that enables them to phase out coal, 
lower their lifecycle carbon footprint, and 
provide reliable, affordable energy to their 
communities. 
When wood pellets are sourced from 
forests whose carbon stocks are stable 
or increasing, emissions at the point of 
combustion are completely offset by 
forest growth, qualifying wood pellets 
as a carbon-neutral energy resource. 
What remains are supply chain 
emissions from harvesting, processing, 
and transportation that characterize the 
lifecycle carbon footprint.

Climate Impact continued
Enviva is a proud part of the U.S. South 
forest products industry, which works to 
ensure that strong economic drivers and 
sustainable management practices yield 
positive climate impacts in our forests. 
Between 2010, when Enviva opened its 
first U.S. plant, and 2019, forest inventory 
in our supply base increased by more 
than 400 million metric tons, adding 
an estimated 100 million metric tons of 
additional carbon storage to our forests. 
Supply Chain Emissions 
The fossil emissions along the wood pellet 
supply chain include feedstock harvest, 
feedstock transport, pellet processing, 
and pellet transport. The greenhouse 
gas emissions from shipping pellets 
across the ocean comprise only about 
a third of the supply chain emissions, 
because bulk shipping greatly enhances 
the efficiency of the trans-Atlantic 
journey. The emissions from electricity 
used in our manufacturing process – in 
the U.S. Southeast where the electric 
grid is especially coal-heavy – are the 
largest portion of our total supply chain 
emissions, at just over half of the total 
supply chain emissions. In total, the 
embodied emissions in wood pellets per 
unit of energy output are 91% lower than 
the embodied emissions from coal and 
85% lower than from natural gas.
Biomass Carbon Impacts 
Our product mitigates climate change in 
two dimensions: contributing to enhanced 
forest growth in our sourcing regions 
through our participation in the forest 
products market and our corporate 
sustainability practices, and enabling 
displacement of coal and fossil fuels 
for our customers. This two-pronged 
approach is the foundation of our  
climate strategy. 
Forest Growth 
The 2019 UN IPCC Special Report on 
Climate Change and Land concludes 
that “all pathways that limit global 
warming to 1.5°C require combinations 
of reforestation, afforestation, and 
bioenergy.” 
Our product is carbon neutral at the point 
of combustion because forests where 
we source have stable carbon stocks. 
In fact, we see that forest carbon is 
not just stable but growing at a steady 
rate. This phenomenon has been 
present for decades due to the market 
drivers for forest products in the U.S. 
Southeast. Demand for forest products 
drives economic value for forests and 
incentivizes private forest landowners, 
about 86% of the land base, to invest in 
their land, which we have described in 
detail in the Forests section of this report. 
From low-value wood to bioenergy: 
How Enviva’s supply chain stacks up

One of our largest customers, Drax, has 
led the way in demonstrating the impact of 
sustainable biomass energy in achieving 
ambitious climate targets. 
Drax Power Station is the biggest 
renewable generator in the U.K. and 
the largest decarbonization project 
in Europe. Located near Selby, North 
Yorkshire, it has a capacity of 3,906 
megawatts (MW) and produces around 
14 terawatt-hours (TWh) of power a year, 
96% of which uses compressed wood 
pellets – a form of sustainably sourced 
biomass. The remainder is produced 
using coal. 
Another aspect of the future of 
bioenergy is exploring how to get to 
net zero emissions through bioenergy 
carbon capture and storage (BECCS). 
Drax Power Station supplies 12% of 
the U.K.’s renewable power. Four of 
its six power generation units have 
been upgraded from burning coal to use 
biomass. Drax’s biomass delivers carbon 
savings of more than 80% compared 
to coal – this includes emissions from 
its supply chain. Drax has committed 
to end commercial coal generation in 
March 2021 – a major milestone in the 
company’s transformation to becoming 
carbon negative by 2030. 
Drax has had immense success 
transitioning from coal energy through 
the use of sustainable biomass and has 
already helped to achieve ambitious 
climate goals in the U.K. Now the company 
has an even more ambitious goal to reach 
carbon negative by 2030. To do this, Drax 
will use a negative emissions technology 
known as BECCS, already being tried at 
the power station in Yorkshire. 
BECCS power generation uses biomass 
grown in sustainably managed forests as 
fuel to generate electricity. As these 
forests absorb CO2 from the atmosphere 
while growing, they offset the amount 
of CO2 released by the fuel when used, 
balancing carbon flows in the process of 
power production. Adding carbon capture 
and storage to this process results in 
removing more CO2 from the atmosphere 
than is emitted, making it carbon negative. 
The implications for this technology 
are exciting – providing opportunities 
to decarbonize other industries, scale 
hydrogen fuel, reduce the cost of flexible 
electricity, and more. Working with 
university and industry partners, Drax is 
piloting this technology and working to 
scale carbon storage at its facilities. While 
this project is still in its early stages, its 
potential is huge for our customers and for 
the energy industry overall.
“At Drax, our world leading BECCS project 
will enable us to produce millions of tonnes 
of negative emissions each year, helping 
the U.K. achieve its 2050 net zero target. 
By working with partners in and around the 
Humber region in the North of England, we 
also have the opportunity to protect tens 
of thousands of existing jobs and to create 
many more through the establishment 
of the world’s first CCS cluster. This is a 
tremendous opportunity for Drax and for the 
North of England.” 
“From what was the biggest source of fossil 
carbon emissions in the U.K., Drax has 
transformed to become Europe’s largest 
decarbonization project. The sustainable 
biomass we source from the U.S. has 
been instrumental in that success. By 
sourcing from established working forests 
in the U.S., we are able to ensure the 
sustainable biomass we source delivers 
for the environment, the climate and for the 
communities in which we operate.” 
– Dr. Rebecca Heaton,  
Group Head of Climate Change,  
Drax Group
DRAX ON BECCS
For countries like the U.K., the 
role of biomass has allowed 
for unprecedented progress 
on climate. 2019 and 2020 
saw record streaks for coal-
free electricity generation and 
consumption continues to drop. 
The U.S. supply of biomass 
has been instrumental to their 
success, just as their demand 
has increased U.S. markets for 
biomass production.

Climate action is at the forefront 
of today’s agenda for corporate 
sustainability. Leading companies 
are taking bold action to tackle one 
of the greatest challenges of our time 
by reducing the carbon impact of 
their business.
Ø R S T E D  C L I M A T E  A C T I O N
Throughout the world, biomass energy 
is playing a prominent role in achieving 
climate reduction targets as a renewable, 
low-carbon alternative to coal-based 
energy and heat generation. 
One of our customers, Ørsted, is a 
renewable energy company that takes 
tangible action to create a world that runs 
entirely on green energy, and is being 
recognized as a global leader in corporate 
sustainability. Headquartered in Denmark, 
the company has taken bold action to 
completely transform its energy portfolio 
in the last two decades, setting leading 
goals on utility sector decarbonization 
through a strategic renewable energy 
transition. As a global leader in the 
offshore wind energy business, Ørsted 
has set several ambitious climate targets 
over the years, including the complete 
phaseout of coal energy generation by the 
year 2023, a pledge to be carbon neutral 
in its direct operations by 2025, and a 
pledge to achieve carbon neutrality in its 
total carbon footprint by 2040. 
In addition to leading in the offshore 
wind energy space, the company also 
has a portfolio of combined heat and 
power plants that have been converted 
to use sustainable biomass. This change 
has enabled Ørsted to make significant 
progress toward its goal of phasing 
out coal energy by 2023. Between 
2006 and 2019, the company reduced 
coal consumption by 91% through a 
combination of facility closures and 
conversion to biomass firing. As a 
longtime supplier to Ørsted, Enviva is 
proud to partner with a company that is 
raising the bar on corporate climate  
action and helping to achieve tangible 
carbon reductions. 
Ørsted also has demonstrated an 
ambitious commitment to responsible 
forest management. As biomass 
sustainability relies on responsible 
sourcing, Enviva applauds Ørsted’s 2016 
commitment to source 100% certified 
biomass by 2020. As a producer certified 
by the Sustainable Biomass Program 
(SBP) – an industry certification for 
biomass sustainability – Enviva works 
diligently to meet the commercial demand 
of our ambitious customers, to expand 
certified forestland in our sourcing 
regions, and to drive impact in the  
forests where we operate. 
We are proud to work with Ørsted to 
produce sustainable biomass energy 
through our mutual commitments to 
climate, forests, and people. We look 
forward to Ørsted’s continued progress 
on its global sustainability goals and our 
continued partnership to drive a positive 
impact in the global biomass supply chain.

At Enviva, environmental stewardship 
isn’t just an add-on, it’s fundamental 
to our business. Within Enviva’s 
operational boundaries, our facilities 
comply with numerous strict 
environmental standards under federal, 
state, and local laws and regulations.
Local Environmental Impacts of 
Pellet Production
Air 
Enviva seeks to improve the health 
and wellbeing of our communities by 
minimizing and controlling air emissions 
from our operations. We are leaders 
in the wood products industry through 
comprehensively controlling emissions 
generated by our operations. We use 
state-of-the-art industry-proven air 
emission controls to reduce emissions 
from our manufacturing process, and in 
many cases, we are installing more robust 
air emission controls than are required 
by law to lead the industry and show our 
commitment to environmental stewardship 
in the communities where we operate.
With regard to air emissions, our facilities 
must meet strict requirements under the 
federal Clean Air Act and state laws and 
regulations, and are issued permits that 
require comprehensive emissions testing 
and documentation of compliance with  
all requirements. 
Each permit contains comprehensive 
and detailed monitoring, recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements for process 
operations and emissions. Furthermore, 
all of our facilities are subject to 
rigorous and frequent emissions testing 
requirements. 
This compliance testing is conducted by 
a third-party expert, and the results of our 
compliance stack testing are reviewed 
and approved by state environmental 
agencies, and are publicly available. 
Most of our facilities are permitted as 
“minor” or “synthetic minor” facilities 
under the federal prevention of significant 
deterioration program. This means that 
emissions of each criteria pollutant may 
not exceed 250 tons per year. Criteria 
pollutants include Volatile Organic 
Compounds (VOC), Total Particulate 
Matter (PM), Particulate Matter 10 (PM10), 
Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5), Sulfur 
Dioxide (SO2), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and 
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). 
Because our wood-pellet manufacturing 
process uses only unadulterated wood 
with no chemical additives, Hazardous 
Air Pollutants (HAPs) emissions are 
lower when compared to the emissions 
generated by other wood products 
facilities. Additionally, our emissions 
are controlled using state-of-the-art 
air emission control technology in 
accordance with federal and state  
HAP regulations.
Water
Unlike other participants in the forest 
products industry, water is not used 
as a part of our production process. 
The manufacturing process for pellet 
production involves driving water off of 
the wood rather than introducing water to 
the process. As a result, the only water 
we consume is a small amount used for 
certain air control technologies, and in our 
plants, corporate, and regional offices. We 
do, however, have strong commitments to 
water quality, including compliance with 
Clean Water Act regulations at our port 
facilities as well as adherence to state 
forestry Best Management Practices 
(BMPs) for forest harvesting, (which 
is outlined in the Forests section of 
this report).
Waste
Because our wood pellets make efficient  
use of low-value wood products, our  
facilities generate very little waste.  
Shavings and sawdust from other wood 
manufacturing facilities can be reclaimed  
and made into pellets while bark is used 
in our furnace as fuel to dry our feedstock 
prior to pelletizing. For waste that we do 
generate in our offices, we continually 
seek opportunities to reduce waste 
streams and cost of waste management, 
including recycling and composting. 
We are also working to ensure that 
our facilities have access to recycling 
collection, as some facilities are in areas 
that do not have significant recycling 
infrastructure.

Health & Safety
At Enviva, we are driven by our vision for 
a renewable energy future. We are mission-
driven problem solvers, excited to grow the 
company and have a positive impact on our 
communities, our forests, and the climate. 
Through OEMS, leaders collaborate with 
teams of associates representing plants, 
ports, and construction projects, as well as 
functional subject matter experts across 
the enterprise to identify the best and 
safest way to carry out critical activities. 
These best practices are documented as 
standards and become the expectation 
for how work will be performed. Audits are 
then conducted monthly to identify gaps 
in execution of the standards, and metrics 
are monitored continuously to measure 
effectiveness. An annual management 
review of OEMS ensures Operational 
Excellence objectives are reviewed, 
evaluated, and achieved for continuous 
improvement. 
Enviva’s OEMS was designed to meet the 
requirements of OSHA Process Safety 
Management, NFPA 652 Standard for the 
Prevention of Fires and Dust Explosions, 
ISO 9001 Quality Management System, 
and other key industry standards. Through 
OEMS, Enviva has implemented the 
following processes and best practices at its 
plants, ports, and constructions projects.
•
• Process Hazard Analysis (PHA): All 
operating facilities have completed a 
rigorous PHA to proactively identify 
and rank risks correlated to safety, 
environmental compliance, quality, and 
reliability. The PHAs play a significant role 
in identifying and prioritizing continuous 
improvement efforts that pose the 
biggest risks.
At the forefront of empowering people is 
ensuring their safety. Enviva’s dedication 
to safety is a fundamental part of our 
culture and operations and is rooted in 
our Operational Excellence Management 
System (OEMS). Enviva’s OEMS is the 
set of management processes, standards, 
procedures, and behaviors integrated into 
our daily work that enables us to achieve 
Operational Excellence. At Enviva, we 
define Operational Excellence as the 
ability to execute our business strategy 
safely, sustainably, and in full compliance 
with the law, while delivering world class 
quality, reliability, productivity,  
and profitability.

Total Recordable Incident Rate is 
the number of work-related injuries 
per 100 workers. 
•
• Pre-Job Risk Assessments (PJRAs): 
OEMS requires that workers perform 
PJRAs prior to conducting any non-
routine work that does not have a 
documented procedure. The PJRA 
process encourages workers to 
maintain a “Questioning Attitude” and to 
practice “Team Backup” prior to each 
job.
•
• Safe Work Practices (SWPs): Through 
OEMS, Enviva has developed 19 SWPs, 
such as Lock-out Tag-out, Confined 
Space Entry, Elevated Work, and 
Fatigue Management, to name a few. 
These SWPs are standardized across 
all Enviva assets enabling efficient 
training and monitoring for compliance 
and effectiveness.
•
• Training and Certification: OEMS 
requires that all workers demonstrate 
to a certified worker that they have the 
knowledge and capability to perform 
essential tasks prior to being allowed to 
work unsupervised. Once a worker is 
certified, they are awarded a sticker that 
they wear on their hard hat to make it 
easily recognizable to other workers  
that they are authorized to perform 
essential tasks.
“Enviva’s Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) is 
a proven system for achieving excellence in safety, sustainability, 
compliance, quality, reliability and productivity. OEMS establishes 
expectations for how we manage our operations, translates those 
expectations into standards, and integrates the processes and 
structures necessary to ensure we meet those expectations.” 
– John Keppler, 
	 Chairman and CEO

RISK MITIGATION
Treat your workplace and your role with 
respect, recognizing the seriousness 
of what you do and your role as a part 
of something bigger. Follow authorized 
procedures and expect the same from 
others. If you think of a better way, follow 
authorized processes to review and 
improve the procedures.
 1
FORMALITY 
Constantly ask yourself what  
could go wrong. Check for out-of-the-
ordinary and learn to anticipate  
potential problems. Don’t assume  
things are okay – verify.
2
QUESTIONING ATTITUDE 
Back up your co-workers by looking out for 
what they may have missed, and expect 
the same in return. Have the courage to 
care, intervening even when it makes you 
uncomfortable. If you see an issue, own it.
 3
TEAM BACKUP
Understand not just what you do, 
but why you do it. Continually seek 
greater knowledge about the systems, 
processes, and hazards in and  
around your workplace.
4
CONTINUOUS LEARNING 
The Four Pillars of Operational Discipline 
The Four Pillars of Operational Discipline are the basis  
of this culture. To be successful, we must each strive  
to live out these Pillars in every task we perform.
The health and safety of every Enviva 
associate is the number one priority at our 
company, both on and off the job. Through 
a relentless focus on engineering safe 
workplaces, employee training in industry-
leading health and safety protocols, and 
a peer-to-peer based behavioral safety 
program, we have continued to improve 
our safety incident rates, which are a 
fraction of those in similar industries. 
Unfortunately, despite our progress, in 
October 2019, Enviva experienced our 
first and only employee fatality at one 
of our wood pellet processing plants. 
Although the resulting multi-stakeholder 
and comprehensive investigation into 
the incident concluded that there was no 
overt commission of an unsafe act, nor 
a gap in a safe work practice, we also 
believe every accident is preventable. 
Any incident is one too many. 
Immediately following the incident, 
Enviva asked each of our associates 
to renew their commitment to safety 
by undertaking company-wide 
recertifications to our safe work practices 
and further enhancing our operating 
standards and procedures to continue 
to achieve Operational Excellence 
at all Enviva facilities. Enviva works 
closely with internal and external safety 
consultants on process hazard analyses 
and innovative job risk assessments 
to ensure our employees can do their 
jobs safely and out of harm’s way. We 
continue to invest heavily in safety, 
training, and professional manufacturing 
practices at our facilities. Enviva leaves 
no stone unturned when it comes to 
identifying, assessing, and mitigating 
hazards to keep everyone safe, every 
day, every time.
“Achieving Operational Excellence requires more than a system 
of processes and standards. It also requires a culture where 
people follow those processes and procedures in the right way. 
At Enviva, we refer to this culture as Operational Discipline – 
or doing the right thing, the right way, every time.”
– Royal Smith,  
Executive Vice President of Operations

Enviva Management Training:
In 2019, Enviva introduced management 
training for all associates who manage 
people as part of their role. The cohort-
based learning program focuses on topics 
such as self-awareness, management 
styles, and leadership, coupled with 
training on how to exemplify and promote 
“The Enviva Way” as a manager within 
the company. To date, more than 70 
associates have participated or are 
currently enrolled in the program.
Enviva Days:
Enviva Days is a program developed in 
2019 that sets aside an entire week each 
year for targeted individual development 
sessions, team development sessions, 
and networking opportunities for all 
Enviva associates. Courses offered 
as part of the program have included: 
technical training sessions, site-specific 
production training, presentations from 
Enviva leadership in addition to external 
speakers. Enviva Days has become an 
annual event and is now considered a 
cornerstone of Enviva’s corporate culture. 
Summer Internships:
The summer internship program seeks 
qualified college undergraduates in 
various fields – including but not limited to 
Forestry, Operations, Sustainability, and 
Engineering – looking to gain hands-on, 
real-world experience in their respective 
field of study. Each student selected for 
the program is mentored by an Enviva 
leader over the course of the summer. 
At the end of the program, presentations 
are made to senior leadership where 
learnings are shared and discussed. The 
summer internship program project has 
helped shape the career trajectory of 
participants and has left a lasting impact 
on our business. Each student enrolled in 
the program becomes a candidate for a 
full-time position in the Enviva family upon 
graduation.

“Managing, and doing it well, 
is not something that comes 
easy to many people. Enviva’s 
investment in the development of 
associates through this program 
has helped to create cohorts 
of well-trained, empathetic 
and effective managers. The 
lessons on leading change have 
been most impactful to my 
work, particularly during our 
aggressive growth phase and the 
global COVID-19 pandemic.”
– Brianna Stockley,

“Management training provided me a good opportunity to  
reflect on my approach to managing people and teams and  
to get to know and learn from my peers across the company.  
I came away with a better understanding of my strengths and  
weaknesses as a leader as well as tangible tips and tools  
that have helped me become a more effective manager of  
cross-functional teams. This is a very important skill for building  
sustainability programs that are integrated into all of  
Enviva’s day-to-day operations across the enterprise.”

Diversity and Inclusion
Compiling, evaluating, and reporting 
on diversity and inclusion statistics is 
a critical component of a company’s 
corporate culture and identity. In the past, 
the manufacturing and timber industries 
in the U.S. Southeast have not been 
very diversified. Our own data guides us 
to the need to do more and to do better 
at inclusion and diversity within our 
company.
With knowledge and understanding 
of the opportunities around diversity, 
Enviva has made a renewed commitment 
to enhancing equal opportunity and 
representation within the industry. We 
are listening, we are learning, and we are 
committed to continuous improvement. 
In the coming year, we will continue to 
develop plans that both increase the 
diversity of our workforce and leverage 
those differences to make Enviva a better 
company.
“We are a values-driven company that cares about people 
— all people. One of the things that makes Enviva so 
great is the diversity of our associates, and the wide range 
of backgrounds, opinions, and beliefs that we all bring to 
work every day. It is something to be valued, respected, 
celebrated, and like all critical aspects of our business, 
focused on and continuously improved.”

Making Progress
As we work to make our employee 
workforce more broadly representative of 
the communities in which we operate, we 
are building strategies to help increase 
diversity and foster greater inclusion at 
Enviva. In 2020, we seek to:
•
• Develop a comprehensive framework 
for diversity and inclusion that focuses 
on our associates, our company, 
the customers we serve, and the 
communities in which we operate.
Create and foster an associate-led 
group to focus on diversity and inclusion 
(including site-specific goals).
•
• Improve our pool of Enviva candidates 
by attending additional – more diverse –  
recruiting events as well as partner 
with local employment offices and local 
colleges – particularly Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities – to find and 
nurture top talent at our local plants, 
ports, and offices. 
•
• Increase representation of women, 
people of color, and other ethnicities 
within our corporate and plant 
leadership roles. 
•
• Work with all of our associates – 
via training programs and ongoing 
education – to promote participation 
and foster a more inclusive mindset.
•
• Create and foster associate-led groups.

Communities
Guided by our mission and values, Enviva 
seeks to empower the communities where 
we live and work by partnering with 
community leaders to identify and meet 
specific local needs. 
paying, renewable energy jobs into rural 
markets that may not have seen positive 
economic development in decades. The 
forest products industry today is one of 
the largest economic engines in the rural 
U.S. South and is currently the primary 
source of economic development and 
job creation for the region. An impact 
analysis from the National Alliance 
of Forest Owners (NAFO) found that, 
including direct and indirect employment, 
forestry-related businesses support over 
1.3 million jobs, $55 billion in payroll, 
and about $50 billion in GDP in the 
U.S. South. 
At Enviva, we are proud to be part of an 
industry that brings jobs to areas of the 
U.S. that have limited economic mobility. A 
study by the firm Chmura Economics found 
that for every job created by Enviva, more 
than two additional jobs are created within 
the community – from loggers and truck 
services, to local restaurants, retail shops, 
hotels, and more. 
Enviva sees itself as an extension of the 
local community where we operate, which 
is why we are committed to hiring locally at 
our facilities.
After our currently planned projects are 
completed, the total economic impact of 
Enviva’s operations is estimated to be 
at least $2.7 billion, which can support 
more than 4,200 jobs in our operational 
footprint, according to the Chmura 
study.
Caring for people doesn’t stop with 
our Enviva associates, because we 
understand that being a successful 
business means being an integral part of 
the communities where we live and work. 
Our company provides jobs, investment, 
and a positive economic impact in the 
communities we call home.
As we evolve, we will continue to work 
closely with our local communities 
and scientific experts, private forest 
landowners, conservation organizations, 
and a broad set of stakeholders to ensure 
our operations and wood sourcing have a 
positive impact on the local environment 
and surrounding communities. If we do 
everything right by our communities, 
our forests, our customers, and society, 
we believe we can generate long-term 
and dependable financial value for our 
communities and partners.

Engaging the Community
For every plant, port, and office Enviva 
owns and operates, we seek to improve 
and empower communities by partnering 
with local leaders at all levels to identify 
and execute on the specific needs of 
that community. 
For example, Enviva has helped stock 
food pantries and hosted luncheons and 
dinners for frontline medical workers and 
local police. Additionally, Enviva has sent 
meals to senior citizen homes, sent laptops 
and WiFi hotspots to school systems in 
need of connectivity for online learning, 
sponsored events for the local Boys & Girls 
clubs, and donated to various local youth 
programs and sports leagues in the various 
communities in which we live. 
Empowering the Community
We work to empower communities not just 
with good jobs at our facilities but with long-
term and broader opportunities. We partner 
with local high schools and community 
colleges to provide higher education training 
for students to learn new skills focused on 
forestry process, engineering, and other 
professional skills that can be applied 
across the energy and forestry industries. 
RAMP East Program at Halifax 
Community College in Weldon, NC 
In 2019, Enviva announced a new 
educational program partnership with 
Halifax Community College. As part of their 
RAMP East Program, Enviva sponsors 
and participates in a 96-hour curriculum 
that prepares undergraduate students for a 
job in the manufacturing industry. Students 
enrolled in the course spend nine weeks 
taking virtual or face-to-face classes and 
receive industry-recognized certifications 
upon completion. 
At the conclusion of the program, Enviva 
conducts on-campus interviews with all the 
program graduates for future employment. 
Enviva also donates annually to the Halifax 
Community College Foundation which 
supports student scholarships. 
The STARZ24 Teen Center in 
Greenwood, SC 
In June of 2020, Enviva donated $25,000 
to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lakelands 
Region’s STARZ24 Teen Center. Enviva’s 
donation directly supported the renovation 
of the new 12,000 square foot, state-of-the-
art STARZ24 Teen Center for local families 
and youth. Projected to open to the public 
in fall 2020, the STARZ24 Teen Center 
will serve as The Boys & Girls Clubs of the 
Lakelands Region’s premiere out-of-school 
time programming destination for teens. 
The new Teen Center will serve over 1,000 
teens annually with dedicated space for 
creative arts, STEM programs, academic 
support, and health and wellness. From 
sports to the arts, volunteerism to academic 
pursuits, the STARZ24 Teen Center will 
offer teens resources and programs to 
create meaningful experiences today as 
they prepare a plan for their future.

product facilities to source and purchase

In fact, Enviva formed a conservation 
team to further facilitate ongoing 
communication and collaboration with 
NGOs, as well as various state and 
federal agencies. To date, Enviva has 
worked closely with The Mississippi 
Wildlife Federation, Mississippi 
Forestry Association, Pascagoula 
River Audubon Center, The Longleaf 
Alliance, and other local associations 
to implement sustainable Mississippi 
biomass harvesting guidelines that 
support longleaf restoration on public 
and private lands as well as identify 
and protect high conservation value 
lands throughout the state. 
Committed to strengthening the 
communities where we live and work, 
Enviva assists local programs and 
initiatives across Mississippi. For example, 
over the last year, we have worked with 
the George County Sherriff’s Department, 
Ward Volunteer Fire Department and 
George County Regional Health System 
on special community projects. We have 
donated to the Explosion of Excellence 
Scholarship Program, Distinguished 
Young Women Scholarship Fund, 
and United Way for both Jackson and 
George Counties. Additionally, we have 
volunteered at George County’s 4H 
Youth Development Club, at several 
local churches, and with various youth 
sports leagues.
Enviva works collaboratively with local 
leaders, landowners, and businesses to 
bring new jobs, economic development, 
and benefits to the communities we 
call home. 
For our newest plant in Mississippi, in 
October 2019, Enviva broke ground 
on a new state-of-the-art wood pellet 
production plant located in The George 
County Industrial Park – a 1,200-acre 
industrial area that was specifically 
designated by the county for economic 
development. Enviva’s new Lucedale 
wood pellet plant represents the largest 
private investment in the Industrial Park 
in more than 20 years. 
Enviva’s planned investment in Mississippi 
is approximately $250 million. In addition 
to building Enviva’s new wood pellet 
production plant in Lucedale, Enviva is 
simultaneously building a deep-water 
terminal in the Port of Pascagoula’s Bayou 
Casotte Harbor. The new port will export 
wood pellets, produced in George County, 
to Enviva’s power and utility customers 
across Europe and Asia. Combined, 
Enviva projects the Lucedale plant and 
the Pascagoula terminal will create 
approximately 120 new full-time jobs and 
an estimated 300 indirect jobs within the 
timber and transportation industries. 
As part of the Lucedale community, 
Enviva continues to build long-lasting 
relationships with area landowners, 
loggers, sawmills, and various forest 
In additional to supporting the local 
economy, Enviva goes to great lengths 
to ensure it is supporting effective and 
sustainable forest management practices 
in accordance with our Responsible 
Sourcing Policy.

R E T E N T I O N  P R O J E C T
Forests in the South are overwhelmingly 
privately owned – a legacy that has 
shaped the culture and economy of 
Southern forests and created one of the 
most productive forest markets in the 
world. As in other economic systems, the 
behavior of private landowners drives 
forest productivity. Sometimes, however, 
landowners – especially landowners from 
historically disadvantaged geographies or 
groups – may not have the resources or 
information they need to understand how 
to manage their forests effectively. 
To assist landowners with these 
challenges, the U.S. Endowment for 
Forestry & Communities, in partnership 
with the USDA Natural Resources 
Conservation Service and the U.S. 
Forest Service, launched the Sustainable 
Forestry and African American Land 
Retention (SFLR) Program in 2013. In 
2019, the American Forest Foundation 
joined this partnership. The focus of 
the project is to address the issue of 
We are committed to supporting this work 
because we believe in the power of forest 
management to yield positive outcomes 
for forests and communities.
Enviva’s sustainability foresters 
have supported the project for years 
by providing landowner trainings 
and management planning. Enviva 
participates in educational workshops 
for the project throughout the year and 
occasionally hosts tours for project 
members so they can get an up-close look 
at Enviva’s operations both in the field and 
at the local wood pellet manufacturing 
plant in Northampton County, North 
Carolina. Lauren Killian, an Enviva 
Sustainability Forester who manages 
our American Tree Farm Independently 
Managed Group, has witnessed the 
program’s benefits first-hand. 
“Through this partnership, we are now 
able to reach a segment of landowners 
who may not have had the opportunity 
to learn how to make their family lands 
more valuable and more productive,” 
Killian shares. “It really is special to see 
how families come together to set a new 
direction for their lands for this generation 
and generations to come.” 
In 2019 the Roanoke Electric 
Cooperative’s SFLRP held more than 
50 outreach events, reaching more than 
2,000 landowners. As a result, 200 
landowners have signed up to participate 
in the SFLRP to date. 
Combined, that amounts to over 13,000 
acres of additional forestland under 
sustainable forest management. In 
addition, 132 landowners have developed 
forest management plans, while more 
than a dozen have established estate and 
succession plans for their heirs. Such 
accomplishments can only be brought  
to fruition by leveraging partnership, 
sharing information freely, advising 
landowners through all parts of the  
forest management process, and  
meeting landowners where they are. 
Since partnering with the SFLRP  
in 2015, Enviva has provided about 
$150,000 in financial assistance for 
forestry and legal services. 
African American land loss by practicing 
sustainable forestry and implementing 
estate planning strategies. The program 
supports eight projects across eight 
states, offering technical advice from state 
and federal agencies, access to forestry 
associations, connections to industry 
and nonprofit partners, as well as legal 
assistance and other valuable tools. 
Enviva is a proud partner for one of 
the projects located in North Carolina, 
led by Alton Perry, a retired ranger 
with the NC Forest Service who joined 
the program in 2013, together with the 
Roanoke Electric Cooperative. The 
project provides resources to empower 
all landowners with a focus on engaging 
and encouraging African American 
forest landowners to keep and use 
forestland that has been passed down 
to them for generations, helping families 
turn their land from a liability into an 
asset – providing both an income and 
a legacy for future generations. 
“Enviva has been an important partner for our project 
since its inception through the support from its foresters 
and facility staff. In addition to the field and workshop 
assistance, Enviva has seen first-hand the benefits of our 
project and has decided to become a financial partner as 
well. No question, Enviva has been crucial to the growth 
and development of our program. They are great partners.”

Governance 
Enviva Partners, LP (EVA) is managed 
and operated by the board of directors 
and executive officers of Enviva Partners 
GP, LLC, its general partner.
The Board has three standing 
committees: an audit committee, a 
compensation committee, and a health, 
safety, sustainability and environmental 
committee (“HSSE committee”), each 
of which is chaired by an independent 
director. Mr. Reilly, chair of the HSSE 
committee, brings years of experience as 
Administrator of the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency to the committee’s 
efforts to assist the Board in fulfilling its 
oversight responsibilities with respect 
to the Board’s and EVA’s continuing 
commitment to (1) ensuring the safety 
of our employees and the public and 
assuring that our businesses and 
facilities are operated and maintained 
in a safe and environmentally sound 
manner, (2) sustainability, including 
sustainable forestry practices, (3) 
delivering environmental benefits to 
our customers, the forests from which 
we source our wood fiber, and the 
communities in which we operate, and (4) 
minimizing the impact of our operations 
on the environment. The HSSE committee 
reviews and oversees our health, safety, 
sustainability, and environmental policies, 
programs, issues, and initiatives, reviews 
associated risks that affect or could affect 
EVA, its employees, and the public, and 
ensures proper management of those 
risks and reports to the Board on health, 
safety, sustainability, and environmental 
matters affecting EVA, its employees, and 
the public. 
EVA is managed and operated by the 
board of directors (the Board) and 
executive officers of its general partner. 
The Board has 11 directors, including 
five directors (“independent directors”)

established by the New York Stock 
Exchange and the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934, as amended: John C. 
Bumgarner, Jr., William K. Reilly, Jeffrey 
W. Ubben, Gary L. Whitlock, and  
Janet S. Wong.
As a result of owning its general partner, 
EVA’s sponsor has the right to appoint 
all members of the Board. In evaluating 
director candidates, EVA’s sponsor will 
assess whether a candidate possesses 
the integrity, judgment, knowledge, 
experience, skill, and expertise that are 
likely to enhance the Board’s ability to 
manage and direct EVA’s affairs and 
business, including, when applicable, to 
enhance the ability of committees of the 
Board to fulfill their duties.

• Enviva Associates
We conducted structured interviews 
for each stakeholder group to gather 
perspectives on these issues. BSR 
synthesized these findings with additional 
media scanning to determine issue 
prioritization. 
While the various topics are given more or 
less weight in the materiality assessment, 
Enviva firmly believes that all of these items 
are critical to business success.
A materiality assessment is a helpful tool to 
identify the issues that are most important 
to the sustainability of a business, and that 
have the highest impact on stakeholders. 
For us, this process was important for 
upholding our commitment to stakeholder 
engagement, and it enabled us to learn 
from our colleagues how to best report and 
take action on sustainability topics. 
To conduct our materiality assessment, 
we first identified potentially material 
issues using internationally recognized 
sustainability frameworks and standards, 
including GRI, SASB, and the UN SDGs, 
as well as ESG ratings and ranking 
assessments. We then mapped and 
identified key stakeholders whose input 
we felt was important to assessing the 
sustainability priorities of the company.  
In 2019, Enviva worked with BSR™ – a global 
nonprofit that develops sustainable business 
strategies and solutions through consulting, 
research, and cross-sector collaboration.

Summary  
Assurance Statement
The SASB Standard has guidance for 
77 industry categories. Enviva is not well 
defined within a single industry category, 
as our business straddles the forest 
products and renewable energy sectors. 
Reviewing the industry categories, we 
have chosen to disclose to four relevant 
standards: 
•
• Biofuels
•
• Pulp & Paper Products
•
• Forestry Management
•
• Industrial Machinery & Goods
We are pleased to note that the metrics 
required in these standards align 
significantly with Enviva’s inaugural 
materiality assessment, conducted in 
2019 with the support of BSR. However, 
there are certain metrics, such as 
disclosures around water use, that are not 
as material to our business and therefore, 
in the spirit of the standard, we do not 
disclose. We’ve noted those instances in 
the appropriate sections. 
Additionally, some of the metrics in these 
standards are repetitive. Where standards 
are repetitive, we’ve chosen to disclose 
in the section that is most closely aligned 
with our business and noted in the other 
standards where you may reference the 
related information. 
Lastly, this is our first SASB disclosure. 
While we have disclosed to the majority 
of required metrics, we were unable to 
report on every metric in our first year. We 
emphasize that where these metrics are 
indeed material to our business, we note 
the metrics on which we presently lack 
data in the index, and we commit to report 
on as many of these metrics as possible 
in subsequent reporting years in the spirit 
of continuous improvement. 
If you have any questions or comments 
about this disclosure, please email 
sustainability@envivabiomass.com with 
your question. We thank you for reading 
our SASB disclosure and look forward to 
your feedback. 
Enviva recognizes the importance 
of sharing materially relevant 
environmental and social 
information with our stakeholders. 
The SASB Standard is aimed 
at doing just this, providing a 
standardized framework for 
reporting on materially relevant 
information. Enviva is proud to be 
an early adopter of this framework 
and we’re excited to share our first 
SASB disclosure for reporting 
year 2019.

RR-BI-530a.2
Enviva’s SEC form 10-K for year 2019 provides a comprehensive description of our management of legal and regulatory requirements for our businesses. Here is one such disclosure from 
the section titled “Environmental Matters”: 
Our operations are subject to stringent and comprehensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing matters including protection of the environment and natural resources, 
occupational Health & Safety and the release or discharge of materials into the environment, including air emissions and wastewater discharges. These laws and regulations may (1) require 
acquisition, compliance with and maintenance of certain permits or other approvals to conduct regulated activities, (2) impose technology requirements or standards on our operations, 
(3) restrict the amounts and types of substances that may be discharged or emitted into the environment, (4) limit or prohibit construction or timbering activities in sensitive areas such
as wetlands or areas inhabited by endangered or threatened species, (5) govern worker Health & Safety aspects of operations, (6) require measures to investigate, mitigate or remediate
releases of hazardous or other substances from our operations and (7) impose substantial liabilities, including possible fines and penalties, for unpermitted emissions or discharges from
our operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial
obligations, and the issuance of orders enjoining some or all of our operations in affected areas.
Moreover, the global trend in environmental regulation is towards increasingly broad and stringent requirements for activities that may affect the environment. Any changes in environmental 
laws and regulations or reinterpretation of enforcement policies that result in more stringent and costly requirements could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial 
position. Although we monitor environmental requirements closely and budget for the expected costs, actual future expenditures may be different from the amounts we currently anticipate 
spending. Moreover, certain environmental laws impose strict joint and several liability for costs to clean up and restore sites where pollutants have been disposed or otherwise spilled or 
released. We cannot assure that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities for remediation or damage to property, natural resources or persons as a result of spills or releases from our 
operations or those of a third party. Although we believe that our competitors face similar environmental requirements, market factors may prevent us from passing on any increased costs to 
our customers. Additionally, although we believe that continued compliance with existing requirements will not materially adversely affect us, there is no assurance that the current levels of 
regulation will continue in the future.

Use of biomass in our operation is the source of air emissions, which are subject to regulatory risks. Biomass sourcing also has associated supply risks. That said, our supply chain has 
significant reliability for supplying sustainably sourced biomass feedstock. This ensures that biomass we use in our operations qualifies as low-carbon and has security of supply. We’ve also 
installed air control technologies at our facilities to ensure our production complies with all Federal and state environmental requirements.

Enviva is certified to FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) and Controlled Wood (CW) Standards and 100% of Enviva’s feedstock meets both the FSC CoC and CW Standard requirements. Enviva 
also maintains Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certifications (PEFC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Chain of Custody certification, so 100% of Enviva’s feedstocks also 
meet these two CoC Standards. In addition, Enviva maintains an SFI Fiber Sourcing Standard certification and 100% of its feedstock meets this standard requirement as well. 
Enviva also maintains mill level certifications to the relevant Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) Standards, which are 1, 2, 4 and 5. In 2019, 99% of Enviva’s feedstock was considered to 
be SBP Compliant and the remaining 1% was SBP Controlled.

Discussion of the due diligence practices for fiber that is not from certified forestlands or certified to other fiber sourcing standards and the policies to verify the forestry management and 
harvesting practices of suppliers.
Enviva is fully certified to the FSC, PEFC and SFI Chain of Custody standards as well as to SBP standards 1, 2, 4, and 5. These standards require certificate holders to conduct due 
diligence to ensure that non-certified wood is not sourced from controlled sources (FSC), controversial sources (PEFC and SFI) or areas that contain high biodiversity or are ecologically 
sensitive (SBP). Envivas practices include contractual requirements for its suppliers to abide by these requirements.
Disclosure of the verification process of non-certified fiber
Enviva conducts supply base evaluations on its catchment area in accordance with the requirement of each chain of custody standard. Envivas proprietary Track & Trace® program requires 
wood suppliers to provide GPS coordinates for all tracts they intend to use as supply tracts for Enviva. Enviva compares those coordinates to its supply base evaluations and the FSC 
US Controlled Wood National Risk Assessment to ensure they tract is appropriate for supply. Enviva also maintains an SFI Fiber sourcing certificate that requires the certificate holder to 
conduct field sampling for water quality BMPs. Enviva also uses these field inspections to sample the accuracy of supplier provided tract information.
Discussion of the sources of wood fiber, and the potential risks associated with procuring fiber from these sources.
In 2019, 16.6% of Enviva’s wood supply came from certified forests either directly from the forest or as certified sawmill residuals. The balance is from small private landowners who do not 
hold forest management certification or from or non-certified sawmills. Enviva identifies at-risk tracts using its Track & Trace® program and supply base evaluations to assess every supply 
tract. If a tract is at-risk Enviva declines to purchase wood from the tract. Enviva uses a District of Origin process to identify and map non-certified sawmill sourcing areas. Enviva provides 
information to sawmills about HCVs in the sawmill sourcing area and requires the sawmill to sign a contract with the expectation to avoid controlled wood and controversial sources.

Climate Change Adaptation
Description of strategy to manage opportunities for and risks to forest management and timber production 
presented by climate change
While Enviva does not own forestland, we do have programs that are 
adaptive to climate change in our sourcing region. Climate change impacts 
our sourcing area and can pose challenges and opportunities during 
inclement weather events. Increased wet weather events, exacerbated 
by climate change, cause sourcing disruptions and can make it difficult 
to source from low-lying forest tracts. To mitigate these risks, we have 
developed a stumpage program that allows us to strategically source from 
tracts with greater certainty during periods of volatile market conditions. 
This has mitigated risk of market volatility and provides us greater control 
over harvest outcomes. Furthermore, one opportunity during some climatic 
events is the significant availability of salvage wood, which may have few 
other markets. We work diligently to source as much salvage material 
as we can during hurricane and other severe weather events to ensure 
this material does not go to waste and that landowners have a market for 
this material.

Enviva strongly encourages its employees to report all incidents and near misses. Enviva’s OEMS 7.1 Incident Investigation Standard defines a “near miss” as an event that could have resulted in an incident (actual impact) if not for luck or the mitigation of impact 
due to existing risk management measures. Near Misses that have the potential to result in high severity incidents are entered into Enviva’s formal incident investigation management system to track root cause analysis and corrective actions to completion. Enviva 
goes to great lengths to avoid discouraging the reporting of near misses, which often occurs when near miss rates are tracked and compared between facilities. While this practice can lead to many “near misses” with low potential severity being reported, and 
therefore result in data that is not useful for identifying trends, Enviva values having an open and transparent culture where employees feel free to report things they view as hazards to their leaders, over any insights that may be gained through analyzing near miss 
data. Because of the reasons stated above, Enviva will not disclose this information at this time.
