1 Standard 1 Governance Standard The Sustainable Development Management System provides the mechanism by which Mondi ensures strong corporate governance in the area of Sustainable Development, an issue which presents material risk and opportunity to the future success of the Group. This document details the standard of governance to which Mondi has committed. The requirements of this Governance Standard have been divided into five categories: responsibilities and accountabilities; risk identification and management; performance improvement; audit and assurance; and communication and consultation. 2.1 Responsibilities and Accountabilities Employees at every level of the Group are responsible for Sustainable Development (SD). Responsibilities and accountabilities are clearly defined and, where appropriate, explicitly detailed in individual s performance contracts, with associated objectives and key performance indicators. Executives remuneration is directly linked to both the financial and non-financial performance of the business. The DLC SD Committee has overall responsibility for the approval of our policies and targets for the management of SD issues and reviewing our performance in implementing these policies and achieving targets. The Group Technical Director has overall accountability for ensuring that the standards to which Mondi has committed are met, whilst at an operational level, Operations Managers are accountable for the performance of their operations. SD specialists are responsible for advising and supporting the Group Technical Director and the Operations Managers. 2.2 Risk Identification and Management In line with the Group s corporate governance requirements, all material SD issues are identified, prioritised and integrated into the Group-wide risk register. Steps and subsequent actions are taken to manage them. Risk registers are reviewed and updated on an annual basis. SD risks are identified at each level of the business: Group, divisions, business units and operations, in accordance with the Mondi SD Risk and Change Management Standard and the associated Mondi Consequence and Severity Risk Matrix. The Group-level risk register includes both those risks identified by Group-level processes, and those identified at divisional, business unit and/or operational which present a material risk to Mondi s performance. All material risks identified at each level of the Group have risk managers and management plans. Internal audit is scoped in a manner which enables a risk assurance process to be completed, whereby risk management plans and mitigation measures are checked. 3 SD Standards

2 An assessment of all SD risks shall form part of any proposal for acquisition or divestment. Potential liabilities due to proposed acquisitions shall be assessed. Post-acquisition reviews and audits shall be carried out and a time-table defined for acquisitions to implement improvement programmes to conform to Mondi s Policies and Standards. 2.3 Performance Improvement Mondi is committed to continuous improvement in both our management of SD issues and in our actual SD performance. Mondi has made stretching public commitments. In recognition that improving SD performance will enable improved business performance, systems are in place to ensure that SD is an integral part of business planning. Stretching objectives and targets for SD performance improvement are set on an annual basis at Group, divisional, business unit and operations levels. Objectives and targets take into account public commitments, and the significant risks, legal and other requirements presented by SD issues. Performance is measured by reference to both leading and lagging indicators that are measurable, documented, communicated, monitored and reviewed. Indicators are typically reported on a monthly basis. Indicators have strict definitions and criteria thereby enabling complete, consistent, and accurate reporting, and are subject to internal and external audit. The indicators are consistent with the SD Policy and underlying sector policies. Plans and programmes to achieve objectives and targets are in place, and updated and communicated as changes, modifications or when new developments occur. Incidents, including close calls are reported, investigated and analysed. Immediate corrective and preventative actions are taken and lessons from reviews of performance, accidents and incidents are communicated as learning tools and taken into account when SD Policies, Standards and Performance Requirements are reviewed. 2.4 Audit and Assurance The SD Audit Management Standard requires that an auditing process to check that our Standards and Performance Requirements are being applied at all levels. This audit process is integrated with the Internal Audit and Risk Assurance processes, thereby ensuring a joined approach with internal assurance activities. Corrective actions are tracked by the Group SD and follow-up audits undertaken to confirm key issues have been closed out where appropriate. In addition to the internal audits, a self-assessment process requires Operations Managers to confirm compliance with the Mondi Standards on an annual basis. Mondi commissions an external assurance programme on an annual basis to support the internal auditing processes; provide the DLC SD Committee with an independent view on Mondi s SD performance; ensure that the Mondi Sustainability Report is robust and based upon correct information; and provide stakeholders with confidence in the quality of this external disclosure. 4 SD Standards

3 2.5 Communication and Consultation Systems are in place to identify and consult with stakeholders, and to identify and address their concerns. In addition, open consultation and communication with governments, authorities and other organisations is maintained in order to contribute to development of public policy and legislation. Concerns, complaints and relevant external communications related to SD issues are recorded in a register, acknowledged, investigated as incidents and outcomes reported back to relevant stakeholders. Mechanisms are in place to resolve conflicts where they arise, through consultation and participation directly with stakeholders or their intermediaries. The principles of the SD Management System, SD risks, plans and performance are communicated throughout the Group to all persons, and to external stakeholders on a regular basis. External communication is principally through the company s internet site and the annual Sustainability Report, which is subject to independent assurance. 5 SD Standards

4 Management Standard 2 Policies, Leadership and Commitment To implement the SD Management System, management shall demonstrate leadership and proactive commitment to SD in line with the Mondi Policies and Management Standards. This Management Standard shall be applied to Mondi. 2.1 Policies Mondi shall maintain SD Policies that are appropriate to the nature and scale of its activities and the level of strategic importance being given to SD performance. The DLC SD Committee endorses the policies and reviews them regularly to ensure they remain current and relevant. The SD policies are available to all relevant stakeholders. Divisional, business unit and operations policies shall be aligned with Mondi Policies. 2.2 Leadership and Commitment Mondi shall have clearly defined SD roles, responsibilities and accountabilities at all levels and functions within the Group to ensure the effective implementation of the SD Management System. These shall be defined, documented and communicated to all appropriate personnel. All operations shall have a management appointee to act as a focal point for ensuring the effective implementation of the SD Policies and the SD Management System. Adequate resources (human, technical and financial) shall be made available to ensure the effective implementation and maintenance of the SD Management System. This shall include the use of appropriate, competent advice in specialist areas. Executives and management shall demonstrate that SD is as important as costs, production, quality, customer service, employee relations and other key business priorities. Executives, management, employees and contractors shall demonstrate a clear understanding of the need to comply with corporate and site-specific SD Standards and of the consequences of non-compliance. This shall include the prevention and/or correction of at-risk behaviours or unsafe work conditions. Executives, management and first-line supervision shall proactively demonstrate their commitment to SD by maintaining their visibility in the field and utilising their time to demonstrate SD leadership and commitment and participate in SD programmes, audits and reviews to ensure that SD Standards, including those which are sitespecific, are embedded in business practices and people behaviours. Executives and managers shall adopt formal processes that recognise, reinforce and reward desired SD outcomes. All operations shall ensure that processes are in place to ensure the effective review of the SD Policies and their associated systems on a periodic basis to ensure that they remain relevant and appropriate to the nature and extent of the associated risks. 6 SD Standards

5 3. Responsibilities The DLC SD Committee is ultimately responsible for the sign off and approval of the SD Management System s Policies. The Group Technical Director is responsible on the Executive Committee for SD matters. The Group Technical Director is the chair of the SD Leadership Panel, which promotes sustainability matters, measures SD performance, identifies priority issues and builds consensus for the way forward. The Operations Managers are ultimately accountable for SD performance at an operational level. They have a clear responsibility to set priorities for SD and demonstrate a commitment to continual improvement within their operation. Performance contracts shall formally define SD accountabilities and responsibilities of senior executives and senior management. Senior management is accountable for establishing and maintaining local policies and management systems that as a minimum shall reflect the Mondi s SD Policies, Management Standards and local relevant legislation. All operations shall ensure that proactive processes are in place to ensure continual improvement in SD performance. 7 SD Standards

6 Management Standard 3 Legal Review All operations shall ensure that applicable legal, regulatory and other SD requirements and commitments are identified, documented, maintained, accessible, communicated, understood and complied with.

Responsibilities Legal requirements shall be managed by nominated persons at the operations level, or where multiple operations exist within a country, operations may identify an individual or committee to coordinate legal reviews of national legislation. 8 SD Standards

7 Management Standard 4 Risk and Change Management To implement Sustainable Development, SD risks shall be proactively identified, assessed, managed, communicated and reviewed. This management standard applies to all activities that Mondi can control or influence, including planned and unplanned changes to operations, processes, personnel and routine and non-routine activities. This Management Standard shall be applied to Mondi. The SD risks are identified, assessed, prioritised and managed as appropriate to the nature, scale and impacts of Mondi s operations and activities. The SD risk identification, assessment and management process involves competent persons at the appropriate level of management with relevant knowledge and experience, including employees, contractors and other stakeholders as appropriate. Risks are classified and prioritised according to severity of impact and likelihood of occurrence to determine significance. The risk assessment process considers, as a minimum, routine and non-routine activities, products, all personnel and other stakeholders, including contractors, suppliers and visitors, all equipment and facilities, the design, commissioning, and operation of the workplace, processes, installations, machinery, operating procedures and work organisation. Communication with external stakeholders should be proactively undertaken during the risk management process. SD risks are recorded and maintained in a risk register. The risks are reviewed and the risk register updated at least annually or more often if the nature of the risk requires, and following new information, change or a significant incident. Risk management decisions are documented and the implementation of resulting actions tracked. The results of the risk assessment processes are fully communicated to all relevant personnel and considered when establishing training, awareness and competency requirements. The hierarchy of control shall be used in developing risk mitigation measures, with primary focus on elimination of the risk, then reducing the risk through reducing the probability or minimising the impact and finally from control including physical and procedural measures. Operations shall ensure that formal change management systems are in place to manage SD risks associated with planned changes, or to manage such risks when unplanned changes occur, whether permanent, temporary or as the result of incremental change. Operations shall ensure that authorised employees or contractors evaluate and approve changes, either permanently or for a defined period, once the level of SD risk has been demonstrated to be acceptable, and that changes are communicated to, and understood by, all those who may be affected, including external 9 SD Standards

8 stakeholders. Where appropriate, risk assessments should be updated to take account of the implications of the changes undertaken. Similarly other relevant documentation should be updated to reflect such changes. Processes shall be in place to ensure the effective review of the systems and to ensure that they remain relevant and appropriate to the nature and extent of the associated risks. 3. Responsibilities The Group Technical Director shall maintain an up-to-date SD risk register, which shall contain the significant SD risks for the Mondi business. This shall include evaluation of risk across Mondi from the operations, business units and divisional risk registers, as well as Group-wide issues.
