Two years after the launch of its “Eramet Beyond for Contributive Impacts” program, Eramet has published its first activity report, testifying to its concrete achievements in terms of social and economic contribution. The Eramet Beyond program reflects a strong conviction: the need to create an economic ecosystem that does not depend solely on the Group’s industrial activities. By 2026, Eramet Beyond aims to create and support 6,000 jobs and train 500 youths, including 50% of women, in qualifying courses. This objective is in line with the “Act for positive Mining” CSR roadmap initiated by Eramet and embodies its commitment to the responsible transformation of mining.
Rolled out in four operating countries – Argentina, Gabon, Indonesia and Senegal – but also in Cameroon, following an exploration project that was not pursued, Eramet Beyond aims to strengthen the economic autonomy of beneficiary local populations, beyond the Group’s mining activity. Since 2022, the program’s 11 active projects have supported and created 2,800 sustainable jobs in three areas: economic diversification, reducing inequalities and environmental resilience.
To ensure that Eramet Beyond projects are adapted to local social and economic realities, they are co-designed with local partner NGOs and social companies, selected for their expertise and in-depth knowledge of host country contexts. While a dedicated Eramet team handles project follow-up, field implementation is entrusted to its partners.
