The MM Group (Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG) has been recognized for leadership
in corporate transparency and performance on climate change by the global
environmental non-profit charity CDP, securing a place on its annual “A
List”.
Based on data reported through CDP’s 2022 Climate Change questionnaire, MM
is one of a small number of companies^1) that achieved an “A-rating” – out
of more than 15,000 companies scored. In addition to the climate rating,
MM also disclosed data on the CDP questionnaires for Forests and, for the
first time in 2022, for Water Security. In both categories, MM Group was
awarded an excellent “B-rating”. This shows that ecological sustainability
at MM is implemented holistically, taking into account goals and measures
for the protection of climate, forests as well as waters.
Peter Oswald, CEO of MM Group, highlights:
“I am delighted about the first-time inclusion of MM in the A List of the
CDP, because this confirms our sustainability approach and efforts by an
independent organization.”
Thomas Greigeritsch, Head of Group Sustainability & Safety, MM Group,
comments:
“MM takes its global responsibility seriously in order to mitigate climate
change. Therefore, we have also defined challenging, science-based climate
targets and are focusing on measures to increase energy efficiency and the
share of renewable energy sources. Since a climate turnaround requires
united forces we very much want to encourage other companies to do the
same.”
CDP’s annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely
recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. A
detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these
companies, allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of
disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks and
demonstration of best practices associated with environmental leadership,
such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets.
