Planet
Through ambitious goals and corresponding actions, we the MM Group promote environmental sustainability and contribute to the preservation of the natural habitat for this generation and those of the future. Renewable raw materials, responsible use of resources and decarbonisation activities are our highest priority.
Decarbonisation
Our decarbonisation strategy is based on the Paris Climate Agreement. Based on scientifically sound and approved targets (Science-Based Targets), we at MM contribute to the mitigation of climate change. We are also part of the global Business Ambition for 1.5°C platform. We hold certifications in the areas of energy and environmental management in accordance with ISO 50001, EMAS and ISO 14001.
Raw Materials
The divisions of the MM Group mainly use fibres made of wood or its recyclates and thus predominantly renewable raw materials. In addition to fibres, chemicals (mainly inorganic pigments, binders, starch and sizing agents) are used for the production of cartonboard and paper. Efficient use of resources, waste avoidance in production and a positive contribution to the long-term conservation of natural areas and biodiversity are our top priorities.
Water
Water is one of the most important resources on our planet – for humans as well as for ecosystems and species. Water should be understood as a local resource, as its availability depends on local conditions. With regard to water as a resource, it is therefore important to consider the available sources, the quality of local water reserves and the different users in the water catchment area.
