Recycling and Sustainability
As the dramatic effects of climate change are being realised, and other organisations around the world look to reduce the impact of their operations on the environment, at Sims Metal Management, we have already spent years developing and investing in sustainability programmes and processes.
Recycling is one of the best and most effective means of reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. It also preserves scarce natural resources, saves water and reduces pollution and our dependence on landfill. As the world's largest recycler with a relatively low emissions profile, our contribution to the global environment and sustainability is monumental.
All of this, combined with a relatively minor emissions profile, means Sims Metal Management is one of the world's truly green companies.
Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporation
The Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World project was launched in 2005 to identify companies which consistently demonstrate superior leadership and performance on a wide range of key environmental, social and governance policies relative to their industry peers. Companies nominated under the Global 100 are considered better equipped than their competitors to thrive and succeed in the longer term due to their sustainable business approach across a wide range of issues, providing confidence to society and the investment sector alike.
Sims Metal Management is the only waste treatment or recycling company anywhere in the world to be included in this prestigious list and it is testimony to the company’s identification and effective management of the societal, environmental and governance factors impacting upon its business that the company has been included.
