Constellium publishes its 2022 Sustainability Report

Constellium SE published its Sustainability Report, which describes the company’s results in 2022. Constellium’s 2022 Sustainability Report details the company’s initiatives and results and is organized and presented in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards. Constellium’s non-financial performance statement included in the report was verified by an independent third party*.

The report details Constellium’s sustainability performance in 2022, which includes four areas: safety, gender diversity, recycling and climate change.

In terms of safety the company noted. “We again achieved best-in-class safety performance in 2022, with a recordable case rate of 1.85 per million hours worked versus a target of 1.5 in 2025. Six of our sites reached milestones of more than 1 million hours worked without a recordable case,” they noted.

 In the area of gender diversity, by 2022, the percentage of women in the workforce increased from 13% to 14%, while the percentage of new female hires increased from 24% to 31%. 22% of professional and management roles were filled by women, up from 21% in 2021, and we are on track to reach our target of 25% by 2025.

In the area of recycling, last year, 41% of the aluminum input came from recycled sources. “As we continue to increase our recycling capacity, including a new recycling center at our facility in Neuf-Brisach, France, we are on track to reach our goal of 50% recycled input by 2030,” they added.

On climate change: “In 2022, our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity increased despite the observed improvement in energy efficiency at most of our sites. This increase is mainly due to changes in electricity grid mixes (Scope 1 and 2) and an increase in the primary metal footprint purchased by our European operations (Scope 3), as a consequence of the metal and energy crises. Despite this challenging environment, our GHG emissions intensity remains among the best in the industry, and we are confident that we can achieve our 30% reduction targets by 2030,” the company said.

“I am proud of the ownership and initiative our employees have taken in working to meet our sustainability commitments, especially in this challenging environment. We strive every day to keep our footprint as light as possible and support tomorrow’s circular economy, while prioritizing the safety and well-being of our employees,” said Jean-Marc Germain, CEO of Constellium. “Our 2022 safety results continue to be among the best in any industry, and we are making good progress on our diversity and inclusion goal to increase the representation of women in our company. Unfortunately, our greenhouse gas emissions increased as a result of the current geopolitical situation and related energy and metallurgical crises. Our teams are working hard to get us back on track and I am confident that we will reach our 2030 targets,” he added.

Finally, Constellium’s commitment to sustainability was recognized by several independent organizations. In 2022, the company maintained a Platinum rating from Ecovadis, an AA rating from MSCI and an A rating from CDP 2021 Supplier Engagement Leaders for climate change.
