Sustainability

As the leading manufacturer of folding cartons in Europe, we have always concentrated on our core competencies, with the clear objective of being the "best in business" in these areas, also in the future.

Responsible utilisation of resources

We primarily process renewable raw materials, and we use state-of-the-art and high-performance technology, so that we are sparing in the resources we use for manufacturing our folding cartons. This means that sustainability is an inherent part of the business activities of the Mayr-Melnhof Group.

Harmony between economic and ecological responsibility

Competitiveness, with a high sense of responsibility, can be combined with ecological and social criteria in the manufacture of folding carton products while still being economically attractive. This is why we are convinced that our company will be successful in the long term, meeting the interests of all stakeholders.

Products

We produce and sell modern packaging solutions, with which we cover a need for functional, attractive and at the same time environmentally low-impact packaging, which is designed for an attractive presentation and the protection of consumer products. Thanks to our constantly high product quality and production in a network of production sites, we are able to guarantee our customers optimum availability. User-oriented R&D – both for our products and our services – that we develop in close co-operation with our customers has the objective of minimising the consumption of raw materials and advancing the development of safe and modern products of outstanding quality.

Customer orientation

The highest degree of professionalism is the basic principle in all our business relations with our customers. Cost optimised pricing and adherence to delivery deadlines, as well as competent advice and a systematic survey and evaluation of customer satisfaction, are the basis of the long-term co-operation that we strive for. Through the utilisation of modern IT-supported information systems, and through an ongoing training of our sales team, we continuously improve the quality and service of our sales process.

Employees

Sustainable high performance and motivation of our employees are of the essence for the long-term success of our Company. That is why we demand and support the systematic development of technical and personal skills through our institutionalised education and training system. In our performance-oriented and international company culture, we have committed ourselves to the principles of plurality and equality of opportunity which includes responsibility with regard to each and every employee.

Environmental protection

With the objective of advancing the environmental friendliness of our products, we continuously monitor the environmental effects of our activities, and we examine and evaluate the possible influences of new products and processes. In this way we meet the environmental regulations that are in force, and we create potential for ongoing improvements. The orientation towards state-of-the-art technology that is practised throughout our Group ensures continued optimisation of all environmentally relevant interests. Our activities for protecting the environment follow an integrated approach, which regularly includes downstream and upstream sectors, such as sales, transport and logistics, whereby we give preference to suppliers that also have committed themselves to sustainability.
