Working with suppliers to reduce transport emissions
An important part of Mondi’s climate transition plan is to accelerate supplier engagement on the topic of decarbonisation.
We started to actively reach out to our suppliers to encourage them to think about their carbon footprints, adopt low carbon practices and set science-based targets. This includes the organisation of supplier virtual events, workshops and direct engagement with key suppliers.
In 2021, Mondi undertook a pilot with marine transport company CMA CGM who operate a number of ships with biomethane instead of heavy fuel oil. In the pilot project, the ships transported 66 20-foot Equivalent (TEU) containers of Mondi products in the coastal area of Germany, Spain, Portugal and France, reducing transport-related Scope 3 emissions by about 67% compared to existing transportation methods.
