In accordance with our commitment to sustainability, we disclose our 2022 Sustainability Report, which outlines our performance on economic, environmental, social and governance topics during the period between January 1st and December 31st, 2022, for all of Metalsa’s worldwide operations. There are no restatements of information.
This report was prepared in reference to the 2021 Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative.
Given our Sustainability-Linked Bond (SLB) issuance, we are committed to verifying the intensity of our base 2019 emissions, complying with the published framework. The decision to issue a SLB was approved by the highest governance bodies, including our parent company. Hence, only GHG emissions intensity data is externally assured by a third party: ERM CVS. Our ESG team conducts a comprehensive review of the remaining information presented in this report to ensure its accuracy.
