Luxembourg April 19, 2019 (7:00 CET) - Aperam, a leading global producer of stainless and specialty steel, today publishes its ‘made for life’ report, which constitutes Aperam's sustainability performance report for 2018.
Built on stakeholder inclusiveness and materiality, this report follows the GRI sustainability standards. It has been reviewed by an external audit firm1 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.
“Aperam’s commitment to sustainability is rooted in our values and in our mission to manufacture infinitely recyclable products in a responsible manner. Once again, our 2018 Sustainability report demonstrates that this commitment embraces all dimensions of our corporate responsibility and confirms the trust that our employees and external stakeholders place in Aperam.
It also highlights the risks for both the industry and climate change, when responsible products have to compete with imported steel from countries with less advanced sustainability standards, ” Timoteo Di Maulo, CEO of Aperam, commented.
Aperam’s complete report is available on www.aperam.com under section sustainability. It is composed of the ”made for life report” and online supplements, including three country supplements to be released shortly.
