In October 2013, Peter Oswald was awarded the "Manager of the Year" title by the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU). At the ceremony, Oswald stated that he felt the honor was for the 25,000 colleagues at Mondi Group rather than for himself personally. He also said that the award signals that Mondi is a "great company" and that such recognition from a major European university reflects on the quality of the company. The university's selection criteria included long-term economic success as well as a high degree of social engagement, particularly in sustainability. In a subsequent business talk, Oswald discussed the need to grow faster than the industry and noted that the company had invested in plastic packaging and grown through an acquisition in that sector, which he said had made them more global. Colleagues described Oswald as having a "very straight" and "clear head" who had achieved a successful career at a young age.
