  • Community Engagement

Environmental Achievements

  • Increased recycled metal input to 42% in 2023 (GRI 301-2 standards)
  • 84% waste recycling rate in 2023
  • Reduced water withdrawal by 11.5% vs 2022
  • 10% improvement in energy performance year-over-year at Neuf-Brisach after Smartmelt installation

Social Achievements

  • Recordable Case Rate of 1.95 in 2023 (below 2 for the fourth consecutive year)
  • Increased percentage of women in professional and management roles to 24% in 2023 (vs 21% in 2021)
  • Launched ConstelliumCARES Fund, committing up to €1 million per year to support community projects

Governance Achievements

  • 68% of Group annual spending on evaluated key and at-risk suppliers in 2023
  • Implemented a digital platform across all sites for collecting and consolidating energy and GHG Scope 1 and 2 data

Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Develop a zero-emission casthouse
Medium-term Goals:
  • Reduce our Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions intensity by 30% in 2030 vs 2021
  • Increase our recycled metal input to over 750k mt by 2026
  • At least 50% of all aluminium used to be from recycled sources by 2030
Short-term Goals:
  • Reduce our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity by 30% in 2030 vs 2021
  • Reach a 1.5 Recordable Case Rate by 2025
  • Increase the percentage of women in professional and management roles to 25% in 2025

Environmental Challenges

  • Increased Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity in 2023 due to energy crisis in Europe, negative mix evolution, and inability of some facilities to adapt energy consumption to lower volumes
  • Increased Scope 3 emissions intensity in 2023 due to increased footprint of imported primary metal ingots and low-emitting primary production curtailment in Europe
  • Quality and availability of post-consumer scrap for aluminium recycling
  • Competition for skilled workforce
  • Gender diversity gap in workplaces
  • Addressing the diverse needs of communities across three continents
Mitigation Strategies
  • Implementing new technologies (Smartmelt) and exploring options for a zero-emission casthouse
  • Transitioning to renewable energy
  • Improving own recycling processes, creating closed-loop recycling initiatives, working with stakeholders to increase scrap collection rates, and partnering for better scrap sorting
  • Investing in talent development programs (Global Engineering Development Program, Leadership Development Program, Executive Leadership Program), improving communication, and building employee engagement
  • Increasing diversity in hiring, supporting women’s career development, putting more women in leadership roles, and ensuring equitable pay practices
  • Launching ConstelliumCARES Fund to support community projects

Supply Chain Management
