Regulatory Report on Payments to Governments in respect of Logging Industries for the Year 2017

The report of payments to governments made by Mondi plc and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31
December 2017 has been published in accordance with the UK’s Reports on Payments to Governments
Regulations 2014 (as amended in December 2015). This regulation implements the two EU Directives in the UK,
mandating annual reports by companies in the extractives and logging industries of their payments to governments
in countries in which they operate.

To read details of Mondi’s payments to governments go to www.mondigroup.com.

Basis of preparation

The application of the Regulation for Mondi relates to our logging activities and specifically to the disclosure of
payments to governments relating to the logging of primary forests.

We have used the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations definition of ‘primary forest’ being:

‘Naturally regenerated forest of native species, where there are no clearly visible indications of human activities and
the ecological processes are not significantly disturbed’.

Also, for the purposes of this report, the original ‘IFL 2000’ (Greenpeace, World Resources Institute (WRI) and
Transparent World) inventory of intact forests has been used as the base for reporting on the harvesting of primary
forests in the Komi Republic, Russia (‘Komi’).

Only a portion of our Syktyvkar logging operations in Komi fall within the above definition of primary forests. Our
operations in South Africa comprise plantation forests that are not associated with any primary forests and
therefore are excluded from the report.

Our logging operations in Komi do not result in deforestation. In terms of the Russian Forestry Code and Mondi’s
sustainable development policies all logged areas are naturally regenerated with supplementary plantings of
spruce and pine where required to make up full populations of young trees for the next sustainable forest cycle.
During logging operations protected areas, High Conservation Areas (HCV) areas and sensitive
biotopes, comprising approximately 25% of the area, are naturally set aside for conservation.

Exchange rate

Payments made in currencies other than the euro (Mondi Group’s reporting currency) are translated for this report
using the average exchange rate during the financial year to which it relates.

Further information

 forestry policy, one of our issue specific SD policies at www.mondigroup.com/en/sustainability/governance-of-

   For the years ended 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016 a positive figure was included in respect of taxes
 paid rather than a negative figure to show a tax deduction. For the year ended 31 December 2017, the position has
 been corrected to show a tax deduction, resulting in a lower total payment figure than in previous years.

 The report has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at:
