Mondi Zimele Overview
• Mondi Zimele adds value through making available equity, loans and business development
support to empowered and emerging businesses within the Mondi value chain and surrounding
communities.
• Mondi Zimele`s objectives are to:
Promote sustainable black economic empowerment and the availability of competitive
contractors in Mondi’s forestry and mill value chains
Encourage economic development and job creation in our forestry communities
Facilitate the increased availability of sustainable, competitive timber by private growers for
Mondi mills (including the development of new emerging community forestry businesses).
• Mondi Zimele is supported through a ‘revolving’ fund from Mondi (and more recently DBSA) which
is deployed on commercial terms as equity and loans to qualifying Investee companies.
