The design of our 2009 report

This annual report reflects not only the Group’s operational and financial performance over the past year but also gives an insight into the products Mondi creates – from uncoated fine paper to packaging and speciality products. Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, in which the artist takes ordinary paper and board or packaging such as Mondi produces, and creates a beautiful representation or design. This report uses our products to invite the reader into our world.
