ESG UPDATE

In the last months, an acronym has been appearing

increasingly in the Böllinghaus Steel newsletters and

social media posts: ESG.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance.

These three pillars serve as a way to evaluate how a company behaves in the

face of responsibilities that go beyond profit.

E - Environmental: refers to how a company treats the environment.

For example, does it reduce pollutant emissions? Does it manage waste

disposal?

S - Social: addresses how the company treats people and communities.

This includes employee well-being, diversity, respect for human rights,

and impact on society.

G - Governance: refers to how the company is managed. This includes

ethics, transparency, anti-corruption, and good management practices.

ESG is a method to measure whether companies are not only focused on

profit, but also want to contribute to a better world. For customers, this

means they can choose more responsible suppliers. For companies, it is a

challenge – and at the same time an opportunity to show that financial

success can go hand in hand with positive impacts.

Our ESG strategy remains in full progress. Priorities for first concrete steps

have been set, and plans are under construction. To learn the best practice in

the daily business from a distributor, Daniel Mende has visited the

Headquarter of Damstahl, who is really a pioneer on Sustainability. Key

Learnings and concrete ideas have been exchanged to develop this matter

together. The reality even after the successful participation of Daniel on the

3 Day TÜV Training for Sustainability Management based on the ISO 26000

shows that we are right on track and new actions will push us fast forward.
