Mondi recognized for environmental leadership

CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. In 2020, over 515 investors with over 106 trillion USD in assets and 150+ major purchasers with 4 trillion USD in procurement spend requested companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP’s platform. Over 9,600 companies responded, the highest response to date.

Mondi is one of only 10 companies that achieved a triple A, out of the over 5,800 companies that were scored based on data submitted through CDP’s questionnaires in 2020.

‘Sustainability is at the center of our business strategy and drives our decisions. This recognition from CDP is testament to our focus on being sustainable by design. We are committed to taking action and reporting transparently across all areas of sustainability, including climate, water security and responsible forestry. We recognize that while more needs to be done, by engaging, taking action and collaborating, businesses can contribute to a better world,’ said Andrew King, group chief executive officer, Mondi.

‘We congratulate all the companies on this year’s A List. Taking the lead on environmental transparency and action is one of the most important steps businesses can take, and is even more impressive in this challenging year marked by Covid-19. The scale of the risk to businesses from climate change, deforestation and water insecurity is enormous, and we know the opportunities of action far outweigh the risks of inaction. We hope that leadership from the private sector will create an ‘ambition loop’ for greater government action and ensure that global ambitions for a net zero sustainable economy become a reality. Our A List celebrates those companies who are preparing themselves to excel in the economy of the future by taking action today,’ added Paul Simpson, CEO of CDP.
