Luxembourg July 13, 2023 (18:30 CET) - Aperam receives the highest rating from Ecovadis, a recognition of its strong 
sustainability management system 
 
Aperam - a global leader in stainless, specialty alloys, recycling and bio-energy production has been upgraded by 
EcoVadis sustainability assessment to the platinum medal, its highest rating. This places Aperam within the top 1% 
sustainability performers worldwide. It is a clear recognition of our ongoing commitment to sustainability. 
 
EcoVadis medals identify and rate companies meeting specific criteria in respect to environment, labor and human 
rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. 
 
This recognition is a positive reflection of Aperam's progress towards realizing its sustainability strategy and also a 
consequence of Aperam's ResponsibleSteelTM certification. The ResponsibleSteelTM initiative represents a milestone for 
sustainability in the steel industry, defining the best practices into a framework used by external on-site audits with 
the aim to give stakeholders confidence in a steel company's commitment to corporate social responsibility. It makes us 
proud that Aperam was the first stainless steel company that received certification of all its main stainless steel 
production operations globally.
