At Gerald Group, we are dedicated to achieving our sustainability goals through responsible practices in metals trading. We recognize the importance of collaboration and innovation across our value chains.    Our growing "portfolio with purpose" includes metals that are essential for electrification and a low-carbon economy. These materials play a vital role in reducing the world’s reliance on plastics and enabling the development of more sustainable products and services used by millions of people. By promoting the use and trade of recycled metals, we support a circular economy that minimizes plastic waste and contributes to a healthier planet.    We consider both the environmental and social impacts of the metals markets we trade in by examining our upstream and downstream inputs and outcomes across value chains. We assess water usage, biodiversity stewardship, and waste management at the production sites from where we source our materials. Gerald Group also evaluates 100% of our trade counterparties as we aim to positively influence best sourcing practices within the mining and metals industry.    Through transparent reporting and by leveraging our role as both a trader and a producer, Gerald Group aims to be at the forefront of sustainability and help shape a brighter, better future.    Let’s protect our planet together!    #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #GeraldGroup #MetalstTrading

Gerald Group is pleased to present the third annual iteration of our Sustainability Report for 2024.    This year’s theme focuses on the role of commodity traders in the metals value chain and how Gerald Group leverages our role to influence the adoption of responsible sourcing best practices, both upstream and downstream. Broader than a single material topic, responsible sourcing serves as the overarching goal for our sustainability initiatives.   Craig Dean, Executive Chairman and CEO, stated, “As Gerald Group expands its presence across the metals trading and mining value chains, we are committed to the highest standards of sustainability to differentiate ourselves and strengthen our leadership position.”   New in 2024, we revised our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for our trading operations by adopting a net-zero pathway aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).   The Sustainability Report also features asset-level reporting for Marampa Mines Limited (MML), Gerald Group's flagship iron ore mining subsidiary. MML is generating in-country value through a strong local content programme, pursuing interventions to lower GHG emissions, and contributing to the social and economic development of our host communities and Sierra Leone.   https://lnkd.in/eH4b77eU   #sustainabilityreporting #climatechange #energytransition #lowcarbonmetals #decarbonisation #metalsmerchant #commodityfinance
