<strong>Business and sustainability highlights

The report highlights milestones Constellium achieved in 2019, including:

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI).

As an ASI founding member, Constellium has promoted the adoption of ASI Standards across the aluminium value chain, which require that the industry operates under a demanding set of governance, environmental and social criteria. The company received ASI Certifications for Singen’s casting and rolling operations in 2019. The Neuf-Brisach facility in France was certified against ASI’s Performance Standard under provisional Covid conditions in 2020.

Energy efficiency

. Thanks to dedicated energy efficiency programmes at its plants, Constellium achieved a 2 % improvement in energy efficiency from 2018 to 2019, with a 6.4 % improvement against the 2015 benchmark – the equivalent of 100,000 tonnes of CO2

Reducing landfilled waste

. The quantity of production waste sent to landfill decreased by 7 % as compared with 2018, preventing nearly 2,000 tonnes from ending up in landfill.

Safety

. The recordable injuries rate decreased from 3.31 in 2016 to 2.40 in 2019. This was well below the target of 2.61 in 2019 and remains significantly lower than the industry average. However, Constellium experienced one fatality, which led to the implementation of a new EHS initiative, focused on behaviour.

Sustainable Purchasing

. Constellium expects its suppliers to comply with all applicable laws and sustainability practices and conducts regular sustainability due diligence. As of 2019, nearly two third of our key suppliers have been assessed.

Constellium’s 2019 Business and 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. Most of the data in the report was verified by a third party auditor.
