Constellium publishes its 2020 Business and Sustainability Report

Constellium has published its 2020 Business and Sustainability Report. The company outlines its progress on its sustainability goals. The report is presented in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards

Constellium targets its 2030 sustainability roadmap, with the aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

“I am proud of our significant progress in 2020 despite the challenging environment of the COVID-19 crisis. Sustainability is at the core of our business, as Constellium benefits from the inherent attributes of aluminium, a light but strong metal that is fully and easily recyclable”, said Jean-Marc Germain, CEO of Constellium. 

“Our Environmental, Social, and Governance strategy and roadmap for 2030 are taking shape, with initiatives to include offering additional responsible products, increasing recycling, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste. I believe that this is an opportunity to meet societal expectations and play our part in the fight against climate change, and to add more value for our customers, our employees, and our shareholders.”

The company last year received a Platinum rating from EcoVadis. Constellium also improved its CDP rating to B, and received a rating of AA (on a scale of AAA-CCC) in the MSCI ESG Ratings assessment.

The report highlights 2020 milestones. The company’s recordable case rate decreased from 3.31 in 2016 to 1.82 in 2020, well below our 2020 target of 2.35.

Constellium is committed to cut GHG emissions (scope1 and 2) by 25% in 2025 vs. 2015, per ton of aluminium sold. The company also achieved ASI certifications for its Singen and Neuf-Brisach plants, as well as for downstream operations in Dahenfeld and Gottmadingen

The company exceeded its target for landfilled production waste, with a 33% reduction versus 2015 thanks to the successful implementation of recycling programs in all sites.
