Leading packaging and paper manufacturer Mondi has maintained its platinum status in the EcoVadis CSR ratings to recognize the group’s strong commitment to sustainability. The award places the company in the top 1% of companies assessed globally, a position it has been holding since 2015.
EcoVadis is a recognized business sustainability rating organization covering 200 industry categories, 160 countries, and 75,000 companies of all sizes worldwide. Every year the organization assesses companies’ performance in terms of how well they have integrated sustainability principles 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. It covers 21 indicators in four key areas – environment, labor, human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The company’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 recognized by EcoVadis as an industry leader is a 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,” says Gladys Naylor, group head of Sustainable Development at the company.
Mondi announced its ambitious Mondi Action Plan 2030 (MAP2030) sustainability framework and commitments at the beginning of 2021. MAP2030 sets out the company’s actions to meet its sustainability goals in the coming decade. 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 align with the UN sustainable development goals as part of Mondi’s focus on being sustainable by design.
