Empowered People
We are committed to creating an empowered and inclusive team that contributes to a better world.
Inspiring a global and diverse workforce
With around 22,000 Mondi employees in more than 30 countries, we want to inspire a global and diverse workforce, which feels empowered and safe to develop the skills they need now and in the future.
Our role as an employer is to support our people in realising their individual potentials. We aim to create an inclusive work environment that provides equal opportunities and values safety, health and mental wellbeing.
Empowering people is an integral part of our Mondi Action Plan 2030 (MAP2030).

2022 performance
Around 2,600 employees were invited to share their views on topics such as work-life balance, inclusiveness and personal wellbeing in our pulse surveys in 2022. The results offered first insights on how we are performing against our MAP2030 targets around purpose satisfaction and inclusion.
We established the ‘Curious Community’, which connects employees from 17 countries across all business units and career levels and serves as a sounding board to develop new initiatives and ideas around D&I.
We had 22% female employees, which is an improvement of 1% since last year. Female representation of our Executive Committee was 25%, with female direct reports to the Executive Committee 25%, and 33% female directors on the Mondi Board.

Support our employees in pursuit of a work-life experience that enhances their wellbeing

2022 performance
Unfortunately, we experienced a contractor fatality at Mondi Frantschach (Austria). Although no system failures or management actions were identified that could have prevented the incident, it is a reminder that we can never be complacent in prioritising safety.
We also experienced two life-altering injuries in operations in Poland and Czech Republic. Both incidents were investigated to identify root causes and contributing factors, and necessary actions were taken to prevent reoccurrences.
We had 189 recordable cases in our operations (excluding new acquisitions). This equates to a TRCR (Total Recordable Case Rate) of 0.63 and represents a 7.8% decrease compared with our 2020 baseline of 0.68, and 11.8% since last year. We achieved our TRCR milestone, which was set at 0.66.
In 2022, we introduced a new Mental Wellbeing index as part of our Employee Survey. We also expanded the reach of our Employee Assistance Programme, with now 94% of Mondi colleagues worldwide having access to the confidential telephone hotline.
Enabling continuous learning and tailored career paths
Digitalisation, automation and augmentation shape future workplaces and we must develop skills programmes that enable everyone to acquire and refine the needed skills and capabilities.

We support our employees to realise their individual goals and see their contribution to Mondi’s purpose by promoting a diverse and inclusive work culture that fosters a positive work-life experience and mental wellbeing.
Our goal is to be a great place to work by engaging and developing our people to unpack their potential. We offer our employees access to continuous learning at any time, with in-person training, digital learning tools and e-learning tailored to the needs of employees and the business.
The International Graduate Programme is designed to enhance Mondi’s talent pipeline and support the early development of future leaders by giving them the opportunity to gain experiences in different locations and departments.
Moving from traditional safety to Social Psychology of Risk
Safety initiatives have focused mainly on workspace issues, including engineering controls and risk assessments. Discover how we changed the focus of our safety approach to balance safety controls and people by introducing the concept of Social Psychology of Risk. This new approach covers three aspects: workspace (physical controls), headspace (psychology) and groupspace (cultural and group dynamics).
