November 2021: Leading packaging and paper manufacturer Mondi has maintained its platinum status in the EcoVadis CSR ratings in recognition of the Group's strong commitment to sustainability. The award places Mondi in the top 1% of companies assessed globally, a position it has held since 2015.

EcoVadis is a recognised business sustainability ratings organisation covering 200 industry categories, 160 countries, and 75,000 companies of all sizes worldwide. Every year the organisation assesses companies' performance in terms of how well they have integrated the principles of sustainability into their businesses and management systems. The methodology is built on international sustainability standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative, United Nations Global Compact, and ISO 26000, and covers 21 indicators in four key areas: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Mondi's overall EcoVadis score of 85% for 2021 is up from 82% in last year's assessment, with 90% in the Environment and Labour & Human Rights categories.

Mondi's purpose is to contribute to a better world by making packaging and paper that is sustainable by design, and sustainability is at the very heart of Mondi's strategy and business model. To once again be recognised by EcoVadis as an industry leader is testament to our dedication across the value chain and the actions we are taking to deliver on our own targets and help our customers achieve their sustainability goals.

The commitments focus on three action areas: circular driven packaging and paper solutions; created by empowered people; taking action on climate. MAP2030 is built on a foundation of responsible business practices spanning business ethics and governance, human rights, communities, procurement and environmental impact. All areas are aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals as part of Mondi's focus on being sustainable by design. Click here for full details on MAP2030.
