Guest speakers included representatives from WWF, FSC®, Action Sustainability, World Resources Institute, Two Sides Campaign, Mondi’s Sustainable Development team as well as Dr. James Pryke, a specialist on ecological networks. Eight presentations ranging from the business oriented topic of a global ecosystem,  – hidden business risk or opportunity to a scientific view of ecological networks as well as an overview of Mondi’s sustainable development projects by Peter Gardiner and a tour of the Wetlands facility rounded out the event.

 “The event was a great way to gain a better understanding of environmental issues facing businesses today and how the NGO and the corporate world are addressing these challenges. It was also a unique opportunity to share Mondi’s environmental offering with a broader group ranging from interested NGOs, our merchants to the end-users and get immediate feedback,” said Brod Geary, Head of Sales Region Western Europe and moderator of the event, which was free to attend. All attendees were entered into a prize draw that took place at the Green Event. The 1st prize was an eco-holiday, which was won by Roger Warwick of Gould International. 2nd prize was a mountain bike won by Bernadette McMahon of Wiles Greenworld, and 3rd prize was a Fair Trade food hamper won by Conor Linstead of WWF.

 The Green Event attendees learnt more about the Mondi recycled digital printing brand, NAUTILUS® was also presented briefly. The NAUTILUS portfolio consists of three 100% recycled papers, NAUTILUS® SuperWhite (with CO2 neutral option), NAUTILUS® Classic and NAUTILUS® Universal, and the recently launched NAUTILUS® ReFresh TRIOTEC.  NAUTILUS® ReFresh TRIOTEC is made with Mondi’s unique TRIOTEC sandwich technology, which combines outer layers made from TCF (Totally Chlorine Free) virgin fibre with an inner layer made from 30% recycled fibre.
