MM Group receives EcoVadis Platinum rating.

MM Group receives EcoVadis Platinum rating. 2026-08-31 MM Group has been awarded an EcoVadis Platinum medal, placing it in the top 1% of companies assessed worldwide. The company scored 91 out of 100 across environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. MM Group has been awarded a Platinum medal by sustainability rating business EcoVadis, a recognition earned by only the top 1% of companies assessed worldwide. For the brands and converters supported by MM Group, the result provides additional confirmation that the sustainability data behind the business is credible, current and verified. Platinum places MM Group in the 99th percentile of more than 150,000 companies rated by EcoVadis over the past year. The Group achieved an overall score of 91 out of 100, with strong results across all four assessed areas: Environment, 90; Labour and Human Rights, 95; Ethics, 87; and Sustainable Procurement, 88. The rating also marks a progression for MM Group, from Silver in 2024 to Gold in 2025, and now Platinum in 2026. Independent assessment for packaging value chains. As regulations such as the PPWR and EUDR reshape packaging design, and as brands work to reduce Scope 3 supply chain emissions, independent assessments are becoming part of partner selection and value-chain reporting. According to MM Group, transparency is one of the ways the Group reduces risk for its customers. Katja Tuomola, Head of Sustainability and Marketing Communications at MM Group, said: "Reaching EcoVadis Platinum is a milestone we proudly share with our customers, our employees and all interested stakeholders. It confirms that responsible practice is embedded in how we operate and gives the customers we work with an independent assessment they can build on. We are proud of the progress made so far, but the challenge lies in continually building on that, so we remain focused on what comes next." Further sustainability benchmarks. The Platinum rating sits alongside MM Group's CDP Triple A rating for Climate, Forests and Water Security, and its SBTi-validated climate targets. Together, these reflect measurable progress across the company's operations, from decarbonisation and responsible sourcing to designing packaging for circularity. The accreditations indicate an approach in which sustainability is treated as part of the business, not as a separate activity. Bernhard Heneis, Head of Group Sustainability at MM Group, added: "An independent assessment like this gives us a benchmark for our performance, recognise what our teams have achieved, and plan our next steps toward greater impact. That same transparency is what makes us a partner for our customers navigating their own sustainability journeys." Read more:

Mayr-Melnhof expands packaging production in Romania.

Mayr-Melnhof expands packaging production in Romania. The expansion is taking place in a continuing difficult market environment. 26 August 2026 Picture: Mayr-Melnhof Mayr-Melnhof (MM) is advancing the expansion of its packaging production in Romania. According to the company, the investment in the local plant is proceeding on schedule. Commercial production is set to start in October 2026. The project is part of MM's growth investments and belongs to the Food & Premium Packaging division. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the Group confirms that the expansion investments in Romania and the USA are proceeding according to plan. They are scheduled to contribute to the Group's earnings from 2027 onwards. MM does not provide any further details regarding the investment volume or the additional production capacities in Romania in the half-yearly figures not. Weak demand for folding cartons. The expansion is taking place in a still difficult market environment. MM describes demand for folding cartons in the first half of 2026 as sluggish. At the same time, the intensity of competition in most end markets remained unchanged and high. Towards the end of the second quarter, the order situation improved slightly in selected markets. In the Food & Premium Packaging division, revenue fell on a comparable basis, excluding the divested Tann group, by 5.6 percent to 684 million euros. The volume produced decreased by 7.1 percent to 1.019 billion square metres. By contrast, adjusted EBITDA rose slightly by 0.9 percent to 97.9 million euros. The corresponding margin increased from 13.4 to 14.3 percent. MM attributes this development, amongst other things, to process improvements, fixed cost reductions and lower cartonboard costs. According to the company, the division's innovation activities continue to focus on sustainable packaging solutions. The main focus here is, in particular, on replacing plastic packaging with fibre-based alternatives.
