MM Group was recognised with an “A” rating from CDP for the Climate category, while maintaining its leadership scores in Forests and Water Security. The rating underscores MM’s strategic approach to environmental leadership and places the company among the top 2 % of almost 23,000 assessed companies worldwide. 

Notably, MM was also placed on CDP’s Supplier Engagement Leadership Board, highlighting the company’s commitment to responsible sourcing. The CDP Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) evaluates organisations based on governance, target setting, Scope 3 emissions, and value chain engagement. MM’s inclusion on the SEA A List confirms the company’s deep, data-driven collaboration with suppliers to make measurable climate action progress.

“This is not just recognition – it’s validation”, said Peter Oswald, CEO of MM Group. “An 'A' rating confirms that our strategy and management approach for our decarbonisation journey is working. Our recycled and virgin fibre-based product portfolio is engineered to meet our customers’ rising expectations around climate performance, supply chain transparency, and responsible sourcing. I thank our global team for their effective efforts in driving this momentum.”

MM’s vertically integrated model for the production of more sustainable packaging materials continues to set it apart. This structure enables precise control of recycled and virgin input materials and full traceability – capabilities that are increasingly critical for customers in fast-moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and retail packaging.

Katja Tuomola, Head of Group Sustainability & Marketing Communications, added: “Being named both a CDP climate leader and a Supplier Engagement Leader sends a strong message to brand-owners and converters: when you work with MM, you are partnering with someone who already meets the highest environmental disclosure standards. Because we 'Think next', it’s easier for our stakeholders to meet their ESG targets and report confidently on their results.”
