Built on stakeholder inclusiveness and materiality, Aperam's report follows the Global Reporting Initiative's recently launched G4 framework. It has been assured by an external audit firm as compliant with this protocol, including the reporting of material environmental performance data such as energy intensity, water withdrawal by source, CO2 intensity and air emissions.
