A Letter from Our CEO, John Keppler
Last year, Enviva proudly published its inaugural Corporate Sustainability
Report. Today, I am pleased to share with you an update on how we evolved
and advanced our core commitments to people, forests, and climatechange in 2020.
There is no question that the future of our planet depends on industry
operating sustainably and responsibly. That’s true in particular forbusinesses like ours whose core product is designed to improve theenvironment. That’s why we’ve set an ambitious goal of achieving net-zerogreenhouse gas emissions from our operations by 2030. Alongside thispledge, we are producing a renewable resource that can help decarbonize
not only the global power sector but also hard-to-abate industrial sectors
and the bioliquid sector for sustainable aviation fuels, bio-methanol, andbiodiesel. Our sustainable wood pellets keep coal, gas, and oil in the ground
while supplying power and heat to millions of households across Europe,
the UK, and Asia. Similarly, our renewable wood pellets are going to be
used by major industrials like jet fuel refiners and steel, lime, and cement
manufacturers as a drop-in substitute for oil and coal in their production
processes. Simply put, modern bioenergy and biocarbons are cornerstones
for the world’s drive to mitigate the effects of climate change and limit thetemperature increase to less than 1.5°C.
With our climate action commitment, Enviva’s sustainability journey
accelerates. And, while the challenge of phasing out fossil fuels issignificant and requires urgent industry action, we also believe insimilar investments and processes to minimize our footprint in our own
neighborhoods, communities, and the forests and biodiversity that
inhabits them.
I am happy to report that we improved our comprehensive sustainability
efforts in 2020. We continue to be guided by our Responsible Sourcing Policy(RSP), prioritizing transparency and accountability across our supply chain.
Our unique and industry-leading Track & Trace® (T&T®) program has grown
more robust and the process (is now audited) by independent third parties
to help provide even greater assurance to global stakeholders who rightfully
expect detailed data about the sustainability of our forestry activities andverifiable data about the journey our feedstocks take from the forest tract
to the production facility and to our customers. Similarly, we continue togrow our conservation programs and are actively protecting ecosystems
and restoring critical, threatened, and declining forest types, notably

longleaf pine landscapes which we are restoring through our five-year
partnership with The Longleaf Alliance (TLA).
I am also very proud of the way Enviva helped mitigate the potentiallydevastating impact of COVID-19. We are critical infrastructure. We operate
twenty-four hours per day, 365 days per year, manufacturing a renewable
fuel that is essential to our customers’ ability to keep the lights and heat onin countries around the world. The onset of the coronavirus pandemic madeour job even more important since in many cases, there aren’t immediately
available substitutes for the energy that depend on our renewable fuels.
Thanks to the hard work of the Enviva team, despite the tremendous supply
chain challenges many industries experienced, we didn’t miss a singledelivery. Most importantly, we did it while keeping our people safe andhealthy. Thanks to the way we adjusted our work practices, our operations
were unaffected. This gave us the ability to take care of people who got
sick and provide much needed resources to our communities in such achallenging time.
But the progress we made on the sustainability of Enviva and our impacts
on people, climate and forests goes well beyond our focus on who andhow we make our product, it also goes to how we govern and finance ourbusiness. For instance, as part of our capital markets activities we wereprivileged to launch our first ever Green Term Loan, and S&P Global Ratings
recently certified that our financing framework is aligned with Green Bond
Principles and Green Loan Principles, and that the biomass producing assets
and activities we are investing in at Enviva have the potential to provide
durable, meaningful positive impacts mitigating climate change. I am alsoproud that based on our recent simplification transaction and conversion
from a master limited partnership to a “regular way” corporation, we have
expanded our board, adding three new directors, such that all of Enviva’s
directors, except me in my role as Chairman and CEO, are fully independent,
exercising best-in-class good governance. We also made significant
strides in enhancing our diversity and inclusion initiatives, both internallyand externally.
At Enviva, we pride ourselves on keeping promises and making a difference.
We are proud of the promises we kept and the difference we made in2020. We are grateful to our stakeholders for putting their trust in us andchallenging us to continuously do better. Most importantly, we are excitedabout what we can do next and the new horizons we expect to reach.

What is Material to Our Business?
Enviva’s mission and operations sit at the intersection of forests, people, andclimate. We source low-value wood from the thriving wood basket of the U.S.
Southeast, manufacture a product that brings positive social and economic
impact to the rural communities where we work and live, and deliver that
product to customers throughout Europe, the UK, and Asia to enable them togenerate stable electricity and heat while minimizing their carbon emissions.
Therefore, our approach to materiality and the success of our businessare organized around three pillars we care about most: Forests, people,
and climate. These pillars are fundamentally linked – we can’t fight climatechange without considering how energy will be responsibly sourced anddispatched to countries, companies, and people in the growing global
economy or without practicing excellent forest stewardship.
And we can’t truly achieve our mission without also prioritizing
transparency and accountability. The below graphic illustrates how wethink about the issues that are most important to the sustainability of
Enviva’s business and that have the highest impact on our stakeholders.
Most material issues are identified and weighted accordingly, under thefour key concepts outlined below.

WOOD BIOMASS

Enviva is the world’s largest producer of sustainably sourced wood biomass,a reliable, renewable alternative to coal and other fossil fuels. Sustainable woodbiomass from Enviva is being deployed on a global scale to provide electricity andheat and offers a low-emission energy alternative for industrial applications suchas the production of steel, cement, lime, and sustainable aviation fuel.

Overview of Our Manufacturing Process

Forest Residues

Receiving

SizingDryingIt all begins with low-value wood
sourced as a by-product fromtraditional sawtimber harvests in the
U.S. Southeast, one of the world’s
most robust areas of forest growthand sustainable management. These
working forests provide one-fifth of
the wood used worldwide each year.

The low-value wood we buy comesprimarily from family forest
owners who manage their land in amanner that adheres to our strict
sustainability standards. We track
and trace this wood (tops, limbs, andthinnings), and transport it to ourfacilities for processing.

The low-value wood is milled into
uniform chips for the dryer as well as
to provide bark as a fuel source forthe drying process.

The chips enter a biomass-fueled
dryer that reduces the natural
moisture content of the wood. The
dry fiber is then sent to hammermills
to further reduce its size and refine
the fiber for pelletizing.

8

Pelletizing

Port Facilities

Shipping

The dried wood fiber is extruded through a pellet
press at high pressure. Naturally occurring ligninin the wood acts like an adhesive forming a crisp
sheath of a pellet. No chemicals are used in thepellet manufacturing process.

Our strategically located deep-water port terminals
receive pellets from multiple facilities to minimize
transportation and to accumulate necessary
volumes for bulk shipments.

Our pellets are shipped in large dry bulk cargovessels to enhance transportation efficiencies
and minimize our carbon footprint to distributepellets worldwide. At every production point,pellets are inspected for quality to meet customer
specifications and to ensure that our renewable
wood pellets serve as a reliable source of energythat directly replaces fossil fuel.

CLIMATEIn February 2021, we announced our goal of achieving net-zerogreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our operations by 2030.
This commitment to climate action sets forth an ambitious planthat is aligned with international climate goals, including theParis Agreement’s goal to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

Enviva’s 2030 Net-Zero Goal

Enviva has committed to:
Reduce, eliminate, or offset allof our direct emissions.
Enviva will immediately work to minimize the emissions from fossil fuels
used directly in our operations – our Scope 1 emissions. We will accomplish
this by improving energy efficiency and adopting innovative and improved
lower-emission processes.

Drive innovative improvements
in our supply chain.
To address emissions generated as part of our upstream and downstream
supply chain – our Scope 3 emissions – we plan to proactively engage withpartners and other key stakeholders to adopt clean-energy solutions.

14

Source 100% renewable energy
by 2030.
To address the emissions arising from electricity purchases in ouroperations – our Scope 2 emissions – we plan to source 100 percent
renewable energy for our operations by no later than 2030, with an interim
target of at least 50 percent by 2025.

Transparently report progress.
We will track and publish our progress in reducing our emissions annuallyand intend to disclose climate-relevant data and risks through CDP(formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) by the end of 2022.

to eliminate more than 64,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent from theatmosphere every year and offset approximately 75% of all Enviva’s direct emissions fromits manufacturing operations on an annual basis.

WE WILL SOURCE 50% RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2025, AND 100% BY 2030
Enviva joined the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance, a business consortium committed tolarge-scale purchases of clean renewable energy. We are also evaluating solar installations
at multiple plants.

WE WILL SEEK TO DRIVE INNOVATIVE GHG REDUCTIONS IN OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
Enviva signed an agreement with Mitsui O.S.K Lines to develop and deploy anenvironmentally friendly bulk carrier to reduce GHG emissions in the transport of oursustainable wood pellets.

Minimizing Our Environmental Impact — Air Emissions
Enviva is leading the biomass industry by investing in, installing, and operating state-of-theart, industry-proven air emissions control technology – making our plants the most controlled
in the world. Enviva’s facilities control all emissions with more than 95% destruction efficiency.
Enviva is required to periodically test all emissions points and its stacks, which principally
emit water vapor in the form of steam released by the wood going through the drying process.
This testing is conducted by third-party experts with regulatory oversight. Enviva’s pellets
are 100% plant matter – we do not use any chemicals in the production of our sustainable
wood pellets.
Enviva’s emission data is publicly available on each state regulator’s website. The chart below
provides a summary of our emissions profiles across the entire Enviva operating fleet by key
compounds: Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOC):

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)2,145

Our environmental strategy is defined by ourcommitment to minimize environmental impact
from our operations by controlling air emissions to
the highest standards and above what is required
under the law, operating in compliance with theprescribed permit limits, and testing our facilities toensure continued compliance, presenting no risk topublic health or the environment.

Our commitment to minimizing our operating footprint and environmental impact is
not limited to our installation of the best available and industry leading environmental
control technologies. We strive to do more and to continuously improve. For instance,
to ensure that our facilities operate within their permitted level of emissions,most of which are characterized as Minor Sources under the Clean Air Act, we haveinstalled and operate regenerative thermal or catalytic oxidizers as part our emission
control strategy to efficiently destroy volatile organic compounds and hazardous air
pollutants. The thermal oxidizing equipment deployed at our sites are designed toachieve 95% or greater destruction efficiency. Operation of these control devices,
however, do require the use of natural gas. As part of our goals to achieve net-zero in
our own operations by 2030, we have committed to use less of it.
Through careful design and analysis, we determined that an innovative engineeringsolution could be deployed to recirculate process air through our biomass-fueled dryer(which already had the excess heat and energy required to achieve the same criterion
destruction capacity as an RTO), eliminating about 25% of the natural gas requirementthat would have otherwise been required to achieve the same effective emissions
control outcome. Natural gas, which is primarily methane, is one of the mostdetrimental greenhouse gases to the environment, so our ability to minimize its use in
our operations while still remaining well beneath our permitted limits is a real win for
the environment. We are in the process of investing in this process change across anumber of our plants and as a next step, we are also seeking to substitute renewable
natural gas for conventional gas through partnerships like the one we recently
announced with GreenGas USA (see page 15 of the report). Our partnership with
GreenGas USA will allow our emission control equipment to operate with renewable
natural gas. Renewable natural gas is the capture and utilization of methane thatwould otherwise be released to the atmosphere and does not require extraction andutilization of fossil fuels.

Wood Bioenergy as a Climate Solution““

There is a growing role for alternative, low emissions
fuels such as modern bioenergy and hydrogen-based
fuels in all scenarios … These play a key role in theachievement of net zero targets …

IEA World Energy Outlook Report

According to the United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), the world’s leading authority on climate science, bioenergy will play anincreasingly significant role in achieving net-zero targets.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) in its World Energy Outlook report, which
served as a guidepost for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26)
held in Glasgow, Scotland in November 2021, projected that sustainable bioenergy
will need to increase threefold in the global energy supply by 2050 for the world
to accomplish global Net Zero. The IEA report echoes the sentiment of the UN IPCC
that time is running out to put in place the measures needed to prevent further
irreversible damage from climate change to our planet. Net-zer targets canbe reached by:• Phasing out coal from the global power sector at a more rapid pace andreplacing coal with low emissions energy sources that can contribute to theachievement of net-zero targets.
• Increasing levels of investment in new clean energy projects andinfrastructure, including deployment of technologies such as bioenergy withcarbon capture and sequestration (BECCS). BECCS has promise in the nearterm to achieve carbonnegative energy at scale.
• Deploying biomass as an alternative for industrial applications such as the
production of sustainable aviation fuels, steel, lime, and cement, as major
manufacturers look to replace fossil-fuel based carbon as a direct material
input for the production of core commodity products.
Bioenergy provides a reliable, dispatchable baseload energy and heat source thatcan be used in energy systems today, and the role of sustainable wood biomass inthe energy system will continue to evolve and expand.

FORESTSThe U.S. Southeast is one of the world’s most important timber baskets,
producing about 1/5 of the wood that is used worldwide every year.
Increased demand for forest products in the region has resulted in moreforest inventory, which have more than doubled since 1953.

Our Roots in Responsible Sourcing
Restoration sourcing is a critical component of our Responsible Sourcing Policy (RSP). Our
sourcing from mapped longleaf pine forests enables ecosystem growth and restoration andimproves the surrounding biodiversity habitat.
Longleaf pine forests are a critical forest ecosystem in the U.S. Southeast. They are
considered high conservation value forests because of their rarity and biodiversity value.
Well-managed longleaf pine forests provide critical habitat for 29 threatened and endangered
species. However, by 2005, only 2.2% of the original landscape of longleaf pine forests remain.
Almost all the longleaf forests had been converted to farmland, planted to other pine species,
or lost to development. Furthermore, many longleaf stands are in degraded conditions
because their canopies are too dense, shading out ground-story ecosystems and inhibiting
low-intensity prescribed fire, which is key for the wild fire prevention. Appropriate biomasssourcing and removal, like practices employed by Enviva, are a critical step in the longleaf
restoration process as many existing longleaf forests need thinning.

Protecting and Restoring Longleaf
In March 2020, Enviva and The Longleaf Alliance (TLA) announced a five-year partnershipto protect and restore longleaf pine forests. Through the partnership, Enviva and TLA are
collaboratively implementing Enviva’s longleaf forest restoration plan to improve the quantityand quality of longleaf forest ecosystems across our wood sourcing regions in seven statesacross the U.S. Southeast. Using TLA’s innovative method, we have assessed the following
improvements:• Our sourcing was found to help improve or restore more than 3,400 acres oflongleaf forests.
• We helped to certify over 6,600 acres of privately owned, predominantly longleaf forests.

Restoration Sourcing and Conservation
Enviva Forest Conservation Fund
In 2015, we launched the Enviva Forest Conservation Fund(EFCF) in partnership with the U.S. Endowment for Forestry
and Communities. EFCF is a $5 million, 10-year program
to identify and protect sensitive areas and financiallyassist private landowners in conserving and protecting
forested land. In 2020, the program awarded grants thatwill conserve more than 2,600 acres of forest.

Our Flagship Track & Trace® Program
Providing transparent information about our wood sourcing isfundamental to our sustainability values and our RSP. To ensure that
our suppliers provide us with wood that meets our requirements,
we developed Track & Trace® (T&T®), a one-of-a-kind monitoring
technology program that tracks every truckload of wood we procure
from the forest to our production facilities.
Before selling wood to Enviva, a supplier must provide detailed data on
the specific forest tracts being considered for harvest, including eachindividual tract’s precise geographic location, acreage, forest type,specific mix, and age. Our sourcing contracts require that landowners
replant or regenerate the forests. We do not accept any wood from a
harvest without this information and commitment, which we use forrecordkeeping and to verify the accuracy of our procedures.
T&T complements our third-party sustainability certifications andenables us to provide an unprecedented level of transparency into
our supply chain, going above and beyond any other pellet producer
or forest products company in the U.S. Southeast. This proprietarysystem equips our stakeholders with detailed insights into the origin of
our feedstocks, which we make available to the public on our website.

Enviva’s 2020 Track & Trace Data
Our most recent T&T data summarizes our wood purchases in 2020.
Enviva sourced our wood from over 2,900 tracts in more than 140
counties across seven Southern states.

PEOPLEAt Enviva, we recognize that our greatest resource is our people.
That’s why we are committed to providing a safe and healthy
environment for our associates and neighboring communities alikebringing positive economic impact and support.

A Letter from Our VP of Equity, Inclusion & Impact, Don Calloway
By displacing coal, encouraging tree growth and forest
sustainability, and helping reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, Enviva’s contribution to the defining challengeof our time – the fight against global climate change – isimpressive. Yet, our impact is most apparent in the U.S.
Southeast, where we operate. Enviva has created career
opportunities in areas that many corporations abandoned
generations ago. We have supported community initiatives
through our philanthropic efforts. We have createda long-term market for forest materials that werepreviously unmarketable, which in turn creates wealth andopportunity for families.

leadership training programs and employee development
initiatives at every level of our company. We are
becoming intentional about meaningful participation in
the communities where we operate in our commercial
success, and I look forward to introducing dynamic ways
to do that.

But there’s so much more we can do.

Our culture is centered around an ongoing pursuit ofcontinuous improvement in our processes. We are proudof our industry-leading efforts to lower emissions andexternal impacts at our plants and ports. We continue toensure that we are improving the quality of life for ourneighbors; doing so enhances our lives as well. Because
these are the communities where we live, too.

I joined Enviva as Vice President of Equity, Inclusion, andImpact, because if we are committed and intentional,
we can build real equity and opportunity for everyone.
As we embrace our role as a leading renewable energy
producer, it’s time to bake much of the good we doeveryday into our every day operations, amplify it, andcreate a sustainable community impact that will live on
for generations.

One last thing: I come from an activist and organizing
background. I learned very quickly that if I want to dosomething for a group, without doing it with them, thenI’ve done it to them, and that is unacceptable. Improving
our communities and pursuing a better world takes
collaboration, time, and trust. All of us have to commit
ourselves to building lasting relationships with thecommunities we work in and serve.

Consider the potential impact of finding lifelong foresters
in the American south and helping them acquire theequipment, training, and workforce to help supply ourfiber needs, setting them up to do business with major
agricultural players at scale. Consider the expansion ofequity we can help create with our first systematizedsupplier diversity program. And consider what progress
we can make toward our long-term goal of becoming
a national employer of choice when we implement

These goals are not new. We have always centered ourcore values on caring about people and forests as we
pursue our mission to fight climate change. We havealways been a solid community steward. But if the last few
years have taught us anything, it’s that we can all do more
if we want to pursue a more just and equitable world anda better South. John and our whole leadership team havecommitted to this pursuit, and I could not be more excited
to help lead these efforts with all of our teammates.

Keeping Employees Safe During COVID-19
People make Enviva, and safety of our People has been our top
priority since the first days of our business and is part of thecompany’s DNA. Maintaining safety in our daily 24/7 operations
amongst the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic brought
Enviva’s best minds, systems and processes, and team backup culture together — we are proud to report that 2020 was
our safest year ever.
And while the pandemic has caused broad economic impact
and major disruptions across the globe, at Enviva, thanks to
the hard work of our teams and the good, safe, professional
and personal decisions we made, we again demonstrated the
durability of our business - our people have remained healthyand safe and that has enabled us to keep our plants and ports
running 24/7, our supply chain humming, and report strong
results in 2020. Most importantly, we produced and delivered arenewable energy source, essential to keeping the lights on in
the hospitals and heat on in the households during the heightof COVID-19 lockdown in the UK and Europe.
Although the pandemic environment remains fluid anduncertain, we did not experience disruptions in our operations
or supply chain, and we implemented contingency andbusiness continuity plans we believe would mitigate theimpact of potential business disruptions.
The coronavirus pandemic isn’t yet behind us, and our progress
wouldn’t be possible without the great people at Enviva andthe support of the communities in which we operate.

28

As the spread of COVID-19 continued to increase and vary, we have adapted to new ways of working. All Enviva plants,
terminals and offices implemented the following:• Enhanced cleaning and safety protocols• Followed CDC guidance and enforced social distancing both on and off the job• Adjusted shift schedules, increased distribution of PPE• Formed a cross-functional COVID-19 steering council to provide guidance to help mitigate risk in their communities• Partnered with third-party medical experts to perform case management and contact tracing• Increased communication to keep employees and stakeholders updated on evolving protocols• Took employees temperatures daily• Launched an internal “Get Vaccinated” campaign• Recommitted to helping local businesses, communities, and first responders• Partnered with food banks and organizations in the U.S. Southeast to assist families in need and at risk As a result
there were no confirmed cases of employee-to-employee spread, and no interruptions to our operations, production,or shipping in 2020.

Empowering Our Communities
From Franklin, VA to Lucedale, MS and across the U.S. Southeast,
we seek to empower the communities where we live and work by
partnering with local leaders, clergy, nonprofit groups, forestry
associations, and elected officials. Through outreach, volunteer
activities, and direct sponsorship, Enviva provides a hand up intimes of need as well as empowerment opportunities such as
educational and workforce development program partnerships.
Enviva has a dedicated community relations team whose
core responsibility is to build meaningful relationships in each
community and engage with local leaders to identify opportunities
to give back and provide support. Each community is unique andhas its own distinct set of needs; however, in concert with local
partners Enviva has identified three common themes:• Nurturing Youth and Education• Enhancing Community Services• Supporting Our Most Vulnerable Neighbors
These three themes are the focus of our work and empowerment
opportunities in the communities we serve.

Our economic impact across our operating footprint isestimated to be nearly $3 billion, which supports morethan 4,200 direct and indirect jobs.
29

Nurturing Youth and Education
Support for literacy programs, youth centers, and scholarships
Young people need safe, inclusive, public spaces where they can congregate, study, engage
in extracurricular activities, and express themselves, especially in communities that
could be prone to violence, at-risk behavior, or declining vocational opportunities. To help
communities create and maintain safe spaces, Enviva partners with several organizations
to support the development of youth centers where young people can play sports, complete
their homework, and interact safely. In 2020, we worked with the Boys and Girls Clubs of theLakelands Region in Greenwood, SC, to renovate the local community center. In Franklin, VA,
we are working with Pastor Anthony Rawlings of Celebration Church to build a teen center toprovide educational and enriching afterschool and weekend activities.

30

Enhancing Community Services
Support for first responders, senior citizens, churches and community events
In large parts of the rural U.S. Southeast, first responders, hospitals, senior centers, andchurches are the ties that bind a community together. However, during challenging economic
times, these community pillars can suffer a lack of funding or resources. Enviva works acrossour footprint to ensure these community icons remain strong and appropriately resourced. In
2020, we helped the century-old New Mt. Nebo Primitive Baptist Church in Epes, AL replace its
roof after a severe weather event. In Ahoskie, NC, the community identified that three local
seniors centers were in need of additional automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) to safely
protect its residents, so we funded the acquisition of additional AEDs.

31

Supporting Our Most Vulnerable Neighbors
Support for food drives, hurricane assistance, and school supplies
According to Feeding America, an estimated one in nine Americans were foodinsecure in 2018, a complex problem that has been exacerbated by the COVID-19
pandemic. Enviva partners with local community and church leaders to deliver
prepared meals and boxed groceries to those most in need. In Sumter County,
AL, we helped Children of the Village keep its mobile food pantry fully stocked formore than 100 families who needed the support. In Hamlet, NC, our associates
joined Pastors Mordecai and Linda Ross of Celebration Church and Dobbins
Heights, NC Mayor Antonio Blue to provide food boxes for over 150 families. From
Maryland to Mississippi, Enviva has been privileged to provide thousands of meals,
groceries, and supplies to families, senior citizens, and first responders, ensuring
their basic needs are met.

32

Spotlight: Serving Our Communities
COVID-19 Support
As the communities Enviva calls home
continue to cope with the health, safety, andfinancial impacts of COVID-19, we continue
to work to support local schools, seniorcitizens, families, and community programs.
For example, in response to statewide school
closures, Enviva provided meals and schoolsupplies to underserved students and donated
Wi-Fi hotspots to help facilitate telework andonline school activities for families in need. We
were privileged to help stock local food banks,deliver groceries to families and senior citizens
experiencing food insecurity, and send meals
and boxed food in appreciation for and supportof hospital personnel on the front lines.
In 2021, Enviva partnered with local hospitals
and clinics to administer vaccinations onsite to Enviva associates, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, spouses, and families.
At our forthcoming Lucedale, MS plant, wepartnered with George Regional Hospital toprovide 36 associates with their first round of
the COVID-19 vaccination.

33

Spotlight: Serving Our Communities
Heirs Property
Across the U.S. Southeast, involuntary loss of generationalfamily-land is a longstanding problem, particularly among low
income communities and African-Americans. Land passed fromgeneration to generation — heirs’ property — has been subject
to discriminatory laws and predatory practices often causing
landowners to lose land. Enviva partners with organizations acrossthe U.S. Southeast dedicated to addressing the issue of heirs’
property by assisting landowners with obtaining clean title andeducating them on sustainable forestry and techniques that allow
them to capture value from their land assets.
Enviva has been a strong supporter of The Sustainable Forestry andAfrican American Land Retention Network (SFLR) Program since2015, providing financial support and professional expertise to SFLR
affiliates in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The SFLR isan organization dedicated to helping African-American landowners
and underserved communities secure clear title on their land sothat they may benefit from the natural resources as well as become
eligible for a variety of incentives available to landowners with
provable ownership. Enviva provides programmatic funding andsubject matter experts to support landowners as they work toprotect and manage their forestry lands. We expect to amplify thiswork in 2022, with increased direct professional services support
to landowner families, and policy advocacy in state and federal
arenas to advance the cause of eliminating involuntary land loss.

GOVERNANCE

We have recently taken profound steps to reshape the governance and management ofEnviva, evolving our business into an even better corporate structure. Enviva Inc.
[NYSE: EVA], a Delaware corporation, is managed and operated by its executive officers andan independent board of directors and has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
and Corporate Governance Guidelines that guide key governance policies and practices.

About Us
Enviva Inc. [NYSE: EVA], a Delaware corporation, was preceded by Enviva Partners, LP, a
Delaware limited partnership, which converted to Enviva Inc. effective December 31, 2021.
Until December 31, 2021, our company was structured as a publicly traded master limited
partnership, Enviva Partners, LP (the “Partnership”), managed by its general partner, asubsidiary of Enviva Holdings, LP (the “General Partner”), which had sole responsibility for
conducting the business and managing the operations of the Partnership. The Partnership’s
equity holders had limited voting rights and were not entitled to elect the General Partner
or its directors. Additionally, the General Partner was entitled to receive increasing
percentages of cash distributions made by the Partnership pursuant to its incentive
distribution rights (“IDRs”).
On October 14, 2021, the Partnership acquired its General Partner, eliminating the IDRs, andon December 31, 2021, the Partnership completed its conversion from a master limited
partnership to a corporation in a 1-for-1 exchange of common units of the Partnership forcommon stock of Enviva Inc. (“Enviva”).
As a result of these transactions, Enviva has a simpler, more readily understandable capital
structure that is not burdened by IDRs, does not require equity holders to file a tax return
based on their receipt of a Schedule K-1, and comprises a single class of shares. Further,
Enviva’s organizational structure has been meaningfully streamlined in connection with thetransition to “regular way” governance as a Delaware C-Corporation, with all of the directors
excepting our Chairman & CEO meeting the standards for independence. This independent
board of directors and our officers are subject to stringent corporate fiduciary duties, andour stockholders benefit from valuable governance protections and enhanced voting rights,
including the right to elect the members of Enviva’s board of directors. These changes
further strengthen Enviva’s ESG credentials and help put us on the path to leading in critical
metrics important to a broad range of domestic and international stakeholders.

As a result of our commitment to sharing materially relevant environmental and social information with our stakeholders, we are proud to share our second disclosure
against the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), an independent, private sector standards-setting organization whose mission is to help companies aroundthe world identify, measure, and manage the subset of ESG topics that most directly impact long-term enterprise value creation. The SASB Standards provide a core toolfor comparable, consistent, and reliable data on financially material sustainability factors.
Enviva was an early adopter of this framework, first reporting to SASB for calendar year 2019 under four relevant industry standards: Biofuels, Pulp & Paper Products,
Forestry Management, and Industrial Machinery & Goods. The metrics required in these standards align significantly with Enviva’s materiality assessment, conducted in2019 with the support of BSR™ and can be found on page 6 of this report. In our SASB disclosure for calendar year 2020, we are pleased to expand the scope of our verified
reporting to recognize the materiality of air quality for our business.

While Enviva does not own forestland, we do have programs that are adaptive toclimate 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 tostrategically source from tracts with greater certainty during periods of volatile
RR-FM-450a.1
market conditions. This has mitigated risk of market volatility and provides us
greater control over harvest outcomes. Furthermore, one opportunity during someclimatic 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 canduring hurricane and other severe weather events to ensure this material does not
go to waste and that landowners have a market for this material.

SASB CodeEnviva 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 thathave 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 missrates are tracked and compared between facilities. While this practice can leadto 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 ashazards to their leaders, over any insights that may be gained through analyzingnear miss data. Because of the reasons stated above, Enviva will not disclose thisinformation at this time.
