One of Mondi Zimele’s well-established programs is its Forestry Contractor Support; which has been expanded to qualifying Mondi South Africa Suppliers, where Mondi Zimele (MZ) provides business support services including financial support at discounted interest rates, to help ensure the sustainability of eligible supply partners that are critical to our value chain. Business support is focused on productivity improvement, business administration and compliance as the key to success for these SMEs.

Over the years, Mondi Zimele expanded focus to incorporate support for small and medium enterprises as well as community-based small businesses around Mondi’s operations. Mondi’s operations are generally situated within areas where the local communities have a lack of access to economic opportunities as a result Mondi Zimele aims to encourage economic development through supporting sustainable businesses with a focus on job creation in our Mondi catchment areas.
