Bravo Sustainability Dialogue & Awards identified ElvalHalcor’s devotion to implementing ethical business practices and its adherence to the Sustainable Development principles. The prize presentation was put on by the Quality Net Foundation (QNF) as a part of the Sustainability Week 2021 event.
The Bravo Institution is a programme run by the Quality Net Foundation as part of the Sustainable Greece 2020 Initiative, with a focus on promoting social dialogue for sustainable development at the national level through initiatives from businesses, local government organisations, and local government organisations.
“We are happy to be the first company in Greece to achieve this double certification and we thank the Bravo organizers and the jury for highlighting and recognizing this success. This certification was both a challenge and the capstone of our ongoing effort for a sustainable strategy. ASI Performance Standard holistically evaluates and certifies the performance of companies in the ESG pillars, in terms of the participants compliance with a number of specifications of responsible production and proper management of the supply chain throughout the aluminium life cycle. On the other hand, ASI Chain of Custody Standard seeks to link already certified companies within a sustainable value chain that advocates the proper management and responsible production of aluminium products. Our goals, inextricably linked to today’s challenges and opportunities, are to intensify our efforts towards continuous improvement in all indicators as well as the responsible production of sustainable products and high-value-added aluminium solutions,” said Mr Panagiotis Tserolas, sustainability specialist of Elval (Aluminum Rolling Division of ElvalHalcor).
“We would like to thank Quality Net and the Jury for the award and the recognition of our efforts in aluminium recycling. Aluminium is in the corner stone of the green transition mega-trends due to its ability to be infinitely recycled without losing any of its properties. Replacing primary aluminium with recycled metal significantly contributes in energy saving and emission reduction and also significantly improves our overall product environmental footprint. At Elval we will continue our efforts towards environmentally friendly recycling of aluminium scrap through investments in new technologies in order to continuously increase the use of recycled aluminium in our products,” said Pantelis Stathopoulos, Production Planning Blending Optimizer Engineer at Elval.
