PRESS RELEASE
CDP Climate Change 2022: Eramet receives an A- score,
placing the Group among the best in the industry
In a marked improvement, the Group has just been
awarded an A- score in 2022 Climate Change ratings
of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a leading international
organization in terms of measuring the environmental impact of
companies.
Eramet is now among the leading companies in its
"smelting, refining and metal forming" business sector with an A-
score (up from a B in 2021 and a D in 2019), reflecting its
aggressive efforts to combat climate change. This year, the Group's
performance in these ratings, which assess the performance of more
than 5,800 companies on a scale of A to D, using a comprehensive,
independent and transparent methodology, is well above the average
for the sector.
This CDP score underscores the continuous
progress being made by Eramet to reduce its CO2 emissions, thanks
to an action plan in which the company's long-term strategy
focusing on energy transition metals is a key pillar. Eramet has
set an ambitious target of reducing its CO2 emissions by 40%
between now and 2035 (compared with 2019), by focusing on three
major areas: the use of bio-based reducers, the decarbonization of
purchased energy and the development of carbon capture and storage
(CCS).
In 2022, tangible progress was made, with all
the Group's sites securing ISO 50001 (energy management)
certification, the development of the photovoltaic plant in GCO
(Senegal), and the recovery of furnace gases at Eramet Norway's
Sauda site in order to produce electricity.
In addition, this year Eramet was evaluated for
the first time as part of CDP's water security
ratings. The Group received a B- score, which reflects the
extensive efforts being made at both its industrial and mining
facilities and, more specifically, its commitment to the
responsible management of the aquatic environment and to the
management of runoff water in both operational and restored
areas.
As part of its 2018-2023 CSR Roadmap, Eramet has
made a commitment to step up its efforts in terms of rehabilitating
mining sites. Rehabilitating sites more quickly will help reduce
erosion and preserve the quality of aquatic environments, while
recreating conditions that are conducive to biodiversity. The Group
aims to achieve a ratio of ≥ 1 in terms of rehabilitated surface
areas/cleared surface areas over the period 2019-20231. In the
period 2019-2021, the target was comfortably met, with a ratio of
1.32.
Virginie de Chassey, Chief Sustainability and
External affairs officer: "The 2022 CDP ratings are a clear
recognition of the efforts made by Eramet over the past 4 years to
preserve the environment and they reflect the significant progress
we have made in the execution of our strategy. We are continually
improving in order to reduce our carbon footprint and to restore
and revegetate our mining sites. We are continuing to pursue this
positive and responsible path toward progress.”
