Corporate Social Responsibility
Recycling plays a major part in reducing the global CO2 emissions, energy and water usage associated with extracting and processing virgin raw materials. Our parent company, Sims Metal Management is, one of the world's top 100 sustainable corporations and measures and reports on a wide range of environmental factors.
Each year parent company Sims Metal Management Limited reports on the following parameters:
- Carbon emissions
- Energy Use
- Water Use
- Waste Generation
- Key Health and Safety Indicators
In October 2010, Sims Metal Management was recognized as a top performer by the Investor Group on Climate Change for Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI). The CDLI is an important global survey that ranks the transparency of companies as they report and manage carbon emissions. It reflects best practices in terms of corporate governance in measuring greenhouse gas emissions. This index is representative of Sims' strategic commitment to measuring and managing our corporate carbon footprint.
Output from Sims Recycling Solutions centres contributed to Sims Metal Management's handling of over 13 million tonnes of ferrous and non ferrous materials during fiscal year 2009. The use of these materials, as opposed to virgin materials, saved more than 45 gigajoules of energy, enough to provide power for more than 6.3 million households (or 15 million people).
For the third year running, Sims Metal Management was named as one of the top 100 most sustainable corporations in the world at the 2011 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
