The MM Group has been recognised for leadership in corporate transparency
and performance on climate change, forests and water security by global
environmental non-profit CDP.
Based on data reported through CDP’s 2023 Climate Change, Forests and
Water Security questionnaires, the MM Group is one of only 10 companies
that achieved a triple ‘A’, out of over 21,000 companies scored in 2023 –
including listed companies worth two thirds global market capitalisation
and over 1,100 cities, states and regions.
A detailed and independent methodology is used by CDP to assess these
companies, allocating a score of A to D- based on the comprehensiveness of
disclosure, awareness and management of environmental risks. In addition,
the demonstration of best practice associated with environmental
leadership, such as setting ambitious and meaningful targets, is included
in the assessment.
Peter Oswald, CEO of the MM Group:
“Just recently I was delighted about the first-time inclusion of MM in the
A List of the CDP. The further improvement in 2023 and reaching a triple
A-rating is a major step forward and clearly demonstrates that
sustainability is at the centre of our corporate strategy.”
Thomas Greigeritsch, Head of Group Sustainability & Safety, MM Group,
comments:
“Sustainability is a long-term focus of the MM Group. Everything starts
with high commitment, building up a data base and setting targets. On this
basis, projects and measures are developed and implemented to reduce our
environmental footprint. This transformation is teamwork and can only be
achieved collaboratively. Therefore we encourage other companies to do the
same.”
