Forestry

Forests are the living heart of our operations – and their sustainability is fundamental to our future. Scientific advances, a willingness to engage and a commitment to our communities are all key to Mondi’s forestry model for today and tomorrow.

The face of the global forestry industry is changing fundamentally. Historically, forestry has often been a focus of criticism from some quarters for poor environmental and social behaviour in its management of plantations, of natural forests and of local communities.

The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 on Sustainable Development marked a turning point for the forest industry and, in the succeeding years, scientific advances in forestry have coincided with an understanding and acceptance of corporate responsibilities to enable a new, sustainable approach to forestry.

Mondi is fully participating in this quiet revolution, working with NGOs and the scientific community in Europe, Russia and South Africa to develop and implement best practice and sustainable forest management.
