Making a Difference for our Communities and Employees
Caring for people is a core value at RYAM – employees, their families and the members of the communities where we operate.
Safety
Our commitment is to everyone going home injury-free every day. We actively promote a leadership culture that places a priority on everyone working incident-free. To support our managers and supervisors, we created our Extraordinary Safety Leader training program.
Employees
Our continued success depends on our employees. We hire talented individuals who share our values. We invest in onboarding and training to get them off to a good start. Throughout their career, we encourage and facilitate career growth and development. Read more about our employee career programs.
Communities
Our RYAM foundations have provided more than $1 million in grants in five focus areas: Education, Culture, Natural Resources and Environment, Civic and Human Services, and Health and Hospitals. Beyond financial giving, the company has community advisory councils to foster open communications with our neighbors and local community leaders. We are also active participants with teachers and schools to support STEM and manufacturing careers.
