Climate Policy Engagement Analysis
Climate Policy Engagement Overview: Mondi does not appear to engage actively on climate change policy. The company supported ambitious climate policy in its top-line messaging and stated general support for the energy transition, but InfluenceMap only detected limited engagement on specific climate regulations.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: Mondi takes positive positions in its top-line messaging on climate policy. The company stated support for the goals of the UN Paris Agreement on its corporate website, accessed in April 2023. In its Sustainable Development Report 2023, published in March 2024, Mondi supported action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the 1.5°C target. The company stated support for carbon pricing and market mechanisms in its 2022 CDP Climate Change Disclosure but did not clearly support the need for government climate regulation in 2022-24.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: InfluenceMap detected limited engagement from Mondi with specific climate-related regulations. The company supported emissions trading and a carbon tax in its 2022 CDP Climate Change Disclosure. In the same 2022 CDP Disclosure, Mondi supported the EU Forest Strategy with exceptions, advocating for promoting the active use of forests instead of increasing conservation areas. In its 2023 Sustainable Development Report published in March 2024, the company supported protecting and enhancing carbon sinks but did not state a position on government regulation, and advocated for active and sustainable management of forests.
Positioning on Energy Transition: Mondi supports the energy transition, for example, in April 2023, Mondi stated top-line support for the energy transition in a press release, advocating an urgent shift away from fossil-fuel based products.
Industry Association Governance: Mondi is a member of two industry associations that are actively engaged on climate policy, the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) and the South African National Business Initiative. Mondi has not published a formal review of its industry associations and climate policy engagement.
