Our Story
Welcome to Enviva
Enviva is a leading global energy company specializing in sustainable wood bioenergy. We are the world’s largest producer of sustainable wood pellets, which provide a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels.
Our Purpose
Enviva exists to displace coal, grow more trees, and fight climate change
As a leader and an innovator we seek to act with respect, humility, and integrity to ensure the best outcomes for forests, people, and the environment. By being open to continuously evaluating and improving our impacts around the world, we strive to deliver superior returns on all of our stakeholders’ investment of time, attention, capital, and trust in Enviva.

Displace coal
Bioenergy is part of an all-in strategy to reduce carbon emissions and limit dependence on fossil fuels. Wood pellets 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 a market for sustainable low-value wood that encourages good forest stewardship and creates incentives for forest landowners to replant and keep their land as forest.
What We Believe
Enviva delivers a natural climate change solution
Our people work every day with determination and compassion to fight climate change, the greatest challenge of our time. We believe that if we do our jobs right, with respect for landowners, biodiversity, and forestland communities, we can help keep forests healthy, producing a steady stream of value-added products like lumber, furniture, paper, pulp and bioenergy while at the same time taking more carbon out of the atmosphere.
Our Sustainability
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AT ENVIVA
Creating a healthy market for thriving forests
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Enviva was founded to be part of the solution—to improve the environmental impact of energy generation by helping to replace fossil fuels with sustainable wood bioenergy. Today, as the world’s largest producer of wood pellets, we are maintaining and improving the health of our forests while reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a lifecycle basis around the world.

Protecting the Environment
Enviva provides our customers with a renewable, reliable energy source that improves the environmental profile of energy generation.

Sustainable Forestry
We only source from landowners who commit to return their land to forest after harvest, and we provide a key market for their low-value wood.

Responsible Sourcing
It is critical that our wood is sourced responsibly. Enviva’s Track & Trace® program shares our publicly available sourcing data.

CONTRIBUTING TO FOREST GROWTH
Helping to capture carbon
Working forests thrive when managed sustainably. Our business plays a crucial role in helping to ensure the protection and growth of forests.

2.5%
of the working forests in the Southeast U.S. are harvested each year and, of those, wood pellets comprise about 3% of the total volume of wood products made every year
97.5%
of the remaining forests continue to grow and sequester carbon

CONSERVATION FOR SENSITIVE AREAS
Protecting bottomland forests
The Enviva Forest Conservation Fund is a $5-million, 10-year initiative kicked off in 2015, designed to help protect and conserve tens of thousands of acres of sensitive bottomland forests in North Carolina and Virginia.

At Enviva, we lead through three guiding principles that define our decision-making and ensure we align with our mission and values.

Find and nurture great talent: Finding and hiring the world’s greatest talent—and keeping talent highly engaged and fulfilled in their careers—is central to our success. Recruiting great people is just the start. We believe in nurturing our associates’ experience from the time they are hired through their entire career at Enviva.
