Our “Act for Positive Mining” project

A strong objective is at the heart of this new roadmap: beyond environmental and social management, to create, wherever possible, a positive impact for the stakeholders and the ecosystem of the Group, but also to impulse a positive and responsible mindset internally, focused on the continuous improvement of practices.

This CSR Roadmap is structured around three ambitions covering the whole span of Eramet’s responsibilities and interactions and is broken down into ten objectives for the period 2024-2026, and into three objectives to be met by 2035 that meet Eramet’s main challenges and are based on industry best practices.

Eramet and its subsidiaries taking action in line with the priorities defined by the United Nations to achieve a better, more sustainable future for all, by means of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
