Luxembourg April 30, 2020 (18:00 CET) - Aperam, a leading global producer of
stainless and specialty steel, today publishes its sustainability
performance report for 2019 called 'made for life'.
Built on stakeholder inclusiveness and materiality, this report follows the
GRI sustainability standards. It has been reviewed by an external audit
firm[1] to confirm its compliance with the GRI protocol, including the
reporting of material sustainability performance data such as safety results
(LTIFR rate), CO2 intensity, energy intensity, water withdrawals and air
emissions.
"The Covid-19 pandemic is a challenge like none other. In addition to the
healthcare and biodiversity challenges, it has also put the spotlight on
such essential issues as the value of human life, freedom, solidarity and
makes us re-evaluate the type of society we want to live in. Within this
framework, our annual Sustainability Report is more meaningful than ever.
It highlights how our permanent health and safety focus and our affordable
and 100% recyclable products create real social value for our stakeholders.
It also reasserts our commitment towards sustainable development in line
with our 2030 environmental objectives and ambition to be carbon neutral in
our European operations by 2050." Timoteo Di Maulo, CEO of Aperam,
commented.
Aperam's complete report is available on www.aperam.com [1] under section
sustainability. It is composed of the "made for life report" and online
supplements, including three country supplements to be released shortly.
