Mondi's footprint was 7.41 million tCO2e in 2025 across all three scopes, up from 4.58 million t in 2024 after acquisitions and a fuller supply-chain count. 77% of its energy was renewable, mostly biomass burned at its mills, but it still uses gas and coal. Its SBTi-validated targets are absolute: Scope 1 and 2 down 46.2% by 2030 from 2019, and net zero by 2050; the 2030 Scope 3 target covers about two-thirds of Scope 3. Its Scope 1 and 2 figures have reasonable outside assurance, but its water use per tonne is rising. In 2025 it reported 116 minor breaches of environmental limits and a fine under €6,000, and LobbyMap notes it has not reviewed its industry groups' climate lobbying.
Mondi scores 42/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Nobody can pay to change a score, speed it up or hide it. Last verified November 2026.
