METLEN acknowledges the material actual or potential impacts, either positive or negative, on people or the environment, medium or long term, which are associated with its activities. More specifically, it has established a set of control mechanisms that make up the due diligence framework for sustainability. This framework is continuous and includes an uninterrupted cycle of impact identification, assessment, mitigation measures, goal setting, and performance improvement. For METLEN, the Double Materiality process is a methodological approach that enables METLEN to identify, understand, assess and analyze in greater depth the environmental, social and ethical impacts of its activity. This methodology makes it possible to identify material impacts and to consider the interdependencies between them and financial actors.
More specifically, the two main dimensions of the methodology followed include:
To identify the material topics, quantitative thresholds were applied, while qualitative characteristics were also taken into account. Applying the thresholds highlighted the material impacts and the associated risks and opportunities, which are presented in detail in this Sustainability Statement.
