Actual positive impacts
Metlen contributes to the creation of a sustainable future for its local communities through social dialogue processes with its Stakeholder groups at local level. The exchange of views through the institution of consultation is a useful tool for adopting a participatory approach regarding the identification and implementation of the Company's social initiatives that are linked to direct positive impacts, such as:
The Company's inability to identify and manage the frequently changing social, economic, and cultural characteristics of its local communities in a timely manner may jeopardize the Company's position as an integral member of these communities with shared interests. This may have an impact on the maintenance of the Company's "social license" to operate, placing potential restrictions on its future growth.
