Enviva’s Newest Track & Trace™ Data Confirm Sustained Forest Growth

Enviva Marks One Year of Publicly Reporting Data on Sustainable
Sourcing Practices

BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enviva, the world’s largest producer of industrial wood pellets, today
released its latest Track
& Trace sourcing data, marking one year of public reporting and
two years of tracking the company’s sustainable sourcing practices.
These data are a key tool used to measure, maintain and validate the
Enviva’s sustainability practices throughout the Southeastern United
States.

“We developed the Track & Trace system two years ago to provide
unmatched transparency into our supply chain and to make important
information about the health of the working forests in the Southeastern
U.S. available to the public,” said John
Keppler, Chairman and CEO of Enviva.

This dedication to supply-chain excellence has garnered attention from
sustainability experts throughout the forestry supply chain. “Enviva’s
Track & Trace is a remarkable display of business transparency, and sets
a new precedent among energy producers,” said Bastien
Sachet, CEO of The
Forest Trust. “Enviva is committed to innovation and to forest
preservation,” Sachet added, “and the Track & Trace program is one of
the reasons we’re proud to have them as a member of The Forest Trust.”

“Marking one year of public reporting on Track & Trace is an important
milestone for Enviva. From the beginning, we set out to make these data
about our sourcing practices easily accessible to the public, so
policymakers, customers, partners and others can see for themselves the
positive impact of Enviva’s responsible approach. Over the past year,
Track & Trace has told the story of the thriving forest environment in
the Southeastern U.S., and we are pleased to report that this latest
dataset continues to support that trend,” said Jennifer
Jenkins, Enviva Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer.

Track & Trace™ is a proprietary data system that enables Enviva to
monitor every truckload of wood the company procures from the forest or
sawmill, including details about the wood’s unique characteristics and
origination.

Enviva does not use high-quality wood that would otherwise be milled
into furniture or construction materials. Additionally, Enviva does not
source wood from independently identified bottomland forest ecosystems
that demonstrate high conservation value attributes, or from any forest
where the landowner plans to convert to a non-forest use.

Before selling wood to Enviva, a supplier must 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 earmarked for
Enviva versus other consumers. Enviva does not accept any wood from a
harvest without this information, and Enviva records the data and
verifies the accuracy of its procedures through third-party audits.

This latest dataset shows that Enviva sourced wood from 1,183 working
forest harvests in 77 counties and in 5 Southeastern states over the
six-month period ending in September 2017. The forests in the Southeast
continue to grow and thrive, with the total amount of forested land in
Enviva’s primary supply area increasing by 320, 842 acres from 2011
through 2015, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Inventory in that
area has grown by 10 percent during the same time period and continues
to increase as forests grow at a faster rate than they are harvested.

“Since the launch, our Track & Trace data have consistently demonstrated
that the forested land in Enviva’s primary supply area is increasing,
validating the positive environmental benefits of wood pellets that are
responsibly and sustainably sourced,” added Keppler.

Other findings from the latest Track & Trace data include:

• Approximately 39 percent of Enviva’s wood came from pine and hardwood
  mixed forests, 35 percent from Southern yellow pine forests and 5
  percent from upland hardwood forests. The wood sourced by Enviva
  consists of undersized or “understory” wood that was removed as part
  of a larger harvest and tops and limbs, brush and “thinnings” that
  were removed to make additional room for planted pines to grow.
• Approximately 20 percent was sawdust, shavings or residuals from wood
  product manufacturing.
• 2 percent came from working bottomland hardwood forests, also
  consisting of undersized or “understory” wood, and tops and limbs.
• Less than 1 percent came from arboricultural sources, such as
  landscaping and urban tree maintenance.
• Wood fiber harvested on these tracts came from forests that were an
  average of 38 years old.
