Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, is committed to driving progress towards its Net Zero goals and reducing its customers’ environmental impact.
By investing in energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, Mondi is not only minimizing its own carbon footprint but also supporting its customers’ sustainability initiatives.
A Sustainable Approach to Packaging
Paper-based packaging, such as Mondi’s corrugated solutions, plays a vital role in the circular economy. These lightweight and recyclable materials provide essential protection for goods while minimizing waste. However, the production process itself must be sustainable.
To achieve this, Mondi focuses on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during manufacturing and minimizing waste. By utilizing renewable energy sources like black liquor, biofuels, and biomass, the company has significantly reduced its reliance on fossil fuels.
Investing in a Greener Future
Mondi has invested approximately €500 million in energy efficiency projects since 2019. These investments have led to a 22% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2023 compared to the 2019 baseline. The company’s near and long-term Net-Zero GHG targets, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI), align with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
A Case Study: Mondi’s Świecie Mill
Mondi’s Świecie mill in Poland serves as a prime example of the company’s commitment to energy efficiency. Through significant investments and strategic upgrades, the mill has become one of the country’s largest producers of electricity and heat from renewable sources.
Recent upgrades, such as new fuel-efficient backup boilers and improved soot blower systems, have led to substantial energy savings. These initiatives not only reduce emissions but also contribute to the mill’s overall efficiency and sustainability.
A Sustainable Partnership
By choosing Mondi as a packaging partner, customers can benefit from more sustainable materials and reduced exposure to GHG emissions in the supply chain. Mondi’s commitment to energy efficiency and renewable energy supports its customers’ own sustainability goals.
Mondi is a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, employing 22,000 people in over 30 countries. With a focus on circular-driven solutions, Mondi’s 2030 sustainability commitments aim to create products that contribute to a better world. In 2023, Mondi reported revenues of €7.3 billion and underlying EBITDA of €1.2 billion. The company is listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
