Our sustainability journey

Challenge	To ensure that our forestry practices enable us to provide the future resources our business needs in a sustainable manner.
Priorities in 2008	To successfully maintain the certification of our sustainable forestry practices and trace wood and virgin fibre throughout the supply chain, so enhancing our reputation as responsible forestry stewards and resource developers.
Our commitments	We will meet all requirements of our Forestry Policy and Operating Standards - to manage risks and issues, including those relating to forest stewardship, responsible purchasing, wood tracing, ecosystems and biodiversity action planning, land access and indigenous people.

Challenge	As a member of the global society, to help meet the world's paper and packaging needs and simultaneously reduce the environmental footprint of our products, especially mitigating the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the climate.
Priorities in 2008	To further reduce our environmental footprint, supported by our key environmental performance indicators which set specific targets in areas of significant impact. Going forward, our current performance results have formed the basis for identifying areas which require enhanced focus and these are reflected in our priorities for 2008, including: advances in the inventory of greenhouse gases, reduction in waste to landfill in South Africa and plans for further reduction of organic waste water loads.
Our commitments	We will meet all requirements of our Climate Change and Environmental Policies and Operating Standards. Our target is a 15% reduction in carbon-based energy use per unit of production by year-end 2014, against the 2004 baseline. We also have a target of a 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per unit of production over the same period.

Challenge	To achieve our vision of zero-harm workplaces, ensuring that all people working for Mondi understand, rigorously apply, and fully comply with our safety standards. Our occupational and community health challenge is to ensure that our health programmes recognise and influence the health factors which impact our employees contractors, their families and our neighbouring communities.
Priorities in 2008	To eliminate fatalities from our business. Our plan is to address our most material safety risks in 2008 with a focus on transportation, in particular mobile plant and equipment. In addition, we are targeting a significant reduction in injuries to hands across the Group in 2008. We are also taking further steps to address the risk of noise-induced hearing loss. We are continuing to work at a local level to fight HIV/AIDS in South Africa, by both educating our communities and managing disease infection rates.
Our commitments	We value life above all else and regard one injury as one too may. Our commitment to achieve a level of performance of below 0.5 TRCR (Total Recordable Case Rate) and below 0.1 LTIFR (Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate) by year-end 2010 is considered to be world-class. This, together with achieving our other target of zero fatalities, will take us closer to our stated objectives of zero-harm workplaces and safety excellence.

Challenge	To understand social and community issues and expand our role as corporate citizens, so that the communities in which we operate value our citizenship.
Priorities in 2008	To continue with community participation and engagement. While we operates the majority of our community engagement programmes at a local level, it facilitates a consistent approach to community development via the Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT).
Our commitments	We will be a role model in terms of social impact and transparency in our industry. To achieve this, we will continue with community engagement plans for all significant operations. We will continue to make anti-retroviral treatment available to employees to combat HIV/AIDS in South Africa. We will also maintain a merit-based and empowering culture which meets the requirements of our Corporate Citizenship and Global Employment Policies and Operating Standards.
