As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we have formalised sustainability metrics within the group, emphasising environmental and social impacts across our markets. In 2023, we took concrete steps to align all operations with the group’s ESG focus areas, while giving our companies the autonomy to address unique contextual factors and stakeholder needs.
This section of the report outlines the outcomes of our sustainability journey to date. It delves into matters with a material impact on long-term success, focusing on the value we contribute to the economy, environment, our people, and the communities in which we operate.
Information provided here covers data from our five largest operations, as our smaller entities are not yet equipped for accurate ESG reporting. As we progress on our ESG journey, our aim is to collect and collate data from all CA&S entities.
The CA&S Group prioritises responsible corporate citizenship, encompassing social and environmental responsibility and good corporate governance. This commitment is vital for our social license to operate and ensures long-term sustainability. In 2021, we established a comprehensive ESG framework to guide our group-wide approach to ESG implementation.
