Stemin S.p.A. has published the first edition of its non-financial report for 2021, symbolising the importance of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues within its business model.

“This document, our first non-financial report, stems from the desire to share a journey we have been undertaking for some time. A journey increasingly focused on sustainability, not only in production processes but also in the use of natural resources, the wellbeing of people inside and outside the company, and our relationship with stakeholders and the local community in its various facets. Our commitment to achieving leadership in sustainability is deeply rooted in our values. Our goal is to continue investing in new and virtuous aluminium production chains, fostering a corporate and environmental culture that is ever more responsible and receptive to sustainability issues. We have conceived this document not simply as a report but as an ongoing dialogue and exchange with all our stakeholders to constantly improve ourselves, our activities, and our relationship with the world around us,” declared the President, Olivo Foglieni.

For Stemin S.p.A., environmental awareness has been a founding value since the company’s inception, based on the recovery and recycling of secondary raw materials — but that alone is not enough.

Environmental sustainability is a broader issue that also involves work, territory, and people beyond the environment. For this reason, the report is a journey inside our industrial reality to understand how we are working and what more we can do.

ESG issues are increasingly essential for conducting business sustainably and guiding the entire organisation through a long-term process in which these indicators and topics merge with the core industrial strategy.

We proudly affirm that, piece by piece, we are building an increasingly sustainable reality, setting ever more challenging goals in line with what we must do to leave future generations a world at least as good as the one we found — the concrete and essential foundation of sustainability itself.

Today, recovering aluminium from scrap already means minimising electricity consumption for production, using 95% less electricity, avoiding extraction activities, and recovering essential raw materials for modern industry. We want to do more by aiming to reduce industrial emissions by 2% next year thanks to more efficient and technologically advanced plants and increased self-production of electricity from renewable sources.
