Mondo Minerals
Corporate Responsibility

People

We create the environment for our people to develop their potential, and support their ambitions by personal training programs. Our goals require highly aligned and motivated teams. We respect and challenge each other.

We strive for sustainable employability of our experienced personnel where we take measures for long-term, healthy, enjoyable and productive participation in the labor process.

Safety

Safety is of highest importance for our company and a key performance indicator for all teams. We believe that all injuries and occupational illnesses, as well as safety and environmental incidents, are preventable, and are committed to a goal of zero for all of them.

Quality

As a producer of sophisticated specialties, a superior quality management system is one of the cornerstones of our business model. Quality is an indicator of how accurate a result is to the target. Our goal is that our products always exceed or meet requirements, show zero defects, represent the best possible fit for the purpose and delight customers.

Logistics

Our specialty products travel around the globe to more than 70 countries. Providing optimized supply chain and packaging is a key success factor. Our customers need to be  confident in our ability to deliver their product in time so that they can devote their energy towards the core aspects of their business.

Community

We believe that “doing the right thing” is the basis of sustainability and we conduct our business in an ethical manner by creating a balance between the needs of shareholders and the needs of the community and environment in the areas we operate.

In order to measure and manage our efforts, we have joined Sedex and became part of the world’s leading community for managing data on responsible sourcing, and EcoVadis, the leading platform for environmental, social and ethical performance ratings for global supply chains.

Within our Life Science department we have joined the Dutch Cosmetics Association which helps us follow all the regulations and changes in the European union for all Cosmetics and Personal care matters.  

Certification

We are certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and to the FSSC 22000 , as well as Kosher and Halal requirements.

We continue to progress along a journey to raise awareness and educate our people and suppliers about the Code of Conduct.

Aligned with this approach, we have established rigorous sustainability governance, ensuring measurable and transparent progress against ESG goals.
