PRESS RELEASE
Eramet is committed to the climate!
As part of the new edition of the French Business Climate Pledge, the Eramet group is one of 99 companies that have responded to the MEDEF's call to confirm and widen their commitment to invest in low-carbon solutions and technologies.
To contribute to building the mining and metallurgical industry of tomorrow, Eramet has shown its commitment, through its CSR 2018-2023 roadmap, to thirteen concrete and measurable objectives, integrated into its global strategy.
One of the Group’s main objectives aims to reduce its energy and climate footprint, with a reduction of its carbon intensity of 26% by end-2023. This target meets the goal 13 of United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to combat climate change.
Among other things, this objective includes the conversion of the Doniambo (ferronickel production) oil-fired power plant in New Caledonia to LNG (liquefied natural gas) in 2023, as well as investments in renewable energies for some sites.
In addition to these operations, many operational levers have been identified that contribute to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at each site.
Our contribution to climate change also includes our strategic ambition to develop the critical metals that are key to the energy transition, including lithium and nickel, and the development of solutions for recycling these materials.
Eramet is also working to implement the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures), which aims to encourage reliable and clear financial reporting that enables investors to take climate risks into account.
Through these action plans, the Group is committed to resolving the worldwide issue of global warming.
