GIS Technology Provider Esri Recognized International Paper and Skytec at Annual User Conference for their collaboration on ForSite® project.

REDLANDS, Calif., July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Esri, the global leader in location intelligence, presented International Paper and Skytec with the Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) Award on July 17, 2024, at the annual Esri User Conference (Esri UC). Selected from a candidate base of hundreds of thousands of users, the collaborative ForSite® project received the award for its innovative use of mapping and analytics software, as well as leadership in sustainable supply chain management in the field of paper and packaging.

“We are honored to receive recognition through this SAG award for our years of work building ForSite® and supporting the innovative sustainability and fiber supply processes at International Paper.”

In 2024, Esri is celebrating its 55th year. Since its inception in 1998, the SAG Award is intended to demonstrate an appreciation for organizations that are using geographic information system (GIS) technology to reveal patterns and trends from data to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

“Users around the world are applying GIS in countless fields to take a geographic approach toward solving complex problems and global issues,” said Esri president Jack Dangermond. “It is my honor to recognize all these organizations for their innovative work integrating geospatial technology across industries, helping to build a better world.”

ForSite®, developed in partnership by Skytec and International Paper, is an innovative, GIS-based mapping tool used by the company’s Fiber Supply team to verify and track fiber sourcing. This tool helps identify potential risks in IP’s supply chain pre purchase and then guides the implementation of forestry best management practices, ensuring that fiber-based products are sustainably sourced.

“Skytec has been an invaluable partner since the start of International Paper’s mapping journey. The idea and creation of ForSite® environmental layer (i.e., the hexnet) was the critical first step for us to then develop risk-based operational controls and procedures across our supply chain,” says, Jeremy Poirier, Senior Manager Fiber Certification and Sustainability, International Paper. “Without Skytec and their innovation, we simply would not be in the leadership position of supply chain visibility that we find ourselves in today.”

“Speaking on behalf of the entire Skytec team, we are honored to receive recognition through this SAG award for our years of work building ForSite® and supporting the innovative sustainability and fiber supply processes at International Paper,” says Andy Carroll, Chief Technology Officer & Co Founder, Skytec.

A total of 217 organizations from the commercial industry, defense, transportation, nonprofit work, telecommunications, and government sectors were honored.

Esri staff annually nominate hundreds of candidates from around the world for consideration, and Dangermond selects the finalists.
