Inspiring a global and diverse workforce

With 24,000 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 potential. 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).

In our latest Employee Survey in 2023 we achieved a 79% purpose satisfaction score. In 2025, we focused on refreshing the Performance and Development Review (PDR) process and invited over 1,800 leaders to targeted training – covering SMART goal setting and leading meaningful feedback discussions.

We continued our efforts to foster an open and inclusive culture through our work with Employee Resource Groups and the Curious Community.

Women represent 23.4% of employees across Mondi, consistent with last year (2024: 23.4%). With continued focus, we are progressing towards our target of 30% by 2030. The female representation on our Executive Committee has increased to 33% from 29% in 2024. We have four (40%) female directors on the Mondi Board (2024: 40%).

2025 performance

Tragically, we had an employee fatality at our Ansbach plant (Germany) following contact with moving machinery; and a member of the public also lost their life during harvesting activities in our forestry operations in South Africa.

We sadly had four life-altering injuries in 2025 in our Salt Lake City (USA), Ružomberok (Slovakia), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and Świecie (Poland) sites. All incidents were investigated based on the principles of the Social Psychology of Risk to identify the root causes and contributing factors, and the necessary actions were taken to prevent reoccurrences.

We had 221 recordable cases in our operations (excluding new acquisitions). This equates to a TRCR (Total Recordable Case Rate) of 0.67. While the 2025 TRCR milestone of 0.64 was not achieved, performance improved compared with the TRCR of 0.68 in 2024. We remain among the industry leaders in terms of safety performance and continue to focus on achieving our 2030 TRCR milestone of 0.57.

Professional counselling is available to all employees through our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for support and help.

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).
