Resource efficiency to the forefront - Outotec's sustainability report 2016
published
Outotec has published its annual sustainability report, which contains
comprehensive information about the company's sustainability activities, goals
and achievements in 2016. 'Resource efficiency to the forefront' is the theme of
this online report, illustrating the positive impacts of Outotec's solutions and
services on the sustainable use of natural resources.
Outotec's sustainability work in 2016 included, for example, identifying the
most relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for the company and
committing to the SDGs and integrating them into Outotec's Sustainability
Agenda, employee and customer surveys, review of Code of Conduct, setting a new
diversity goal, and conducting the first phase of human rights assessment. Key
achievements were the improved safety performance, inclusion in the Global 100
index of the world's most sustainable companies, and the share of Environmental
Goods and Services in order intake, which reached 90% for the third time.
"As the metal content of mined ores decreases, and since in many places the best
mineral deposits have already been exhausted, resource efficiency and recycling
are taking on an ever more important role. In addition to the solutions needed
in primary production, Outotec has the top class expertise and technologies to
enable the effective use of materials extracted earlier, such as tailings, side
streams and slag. In our report we showcase some of our projects resulting in
more valuable materials, less waste and better efficiency for our customers. The
report also demonstrates our commitment to continuously improving our own
performance, business practices, data quality and reporting", says Outotec CEO
Markku Teräsvasara.
The report is prepared according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4
guidelines and is third-party assured by Ecobio Ltd. The report is available in
English at www.outotec.com/sustainability-report.
