The consultation with the groups of Social Partners, as an institution of Metlen Energy & Metals, is governed by specific principles and objectives and takes place annually with absolute consistency, primarily at the local level, addressing contemporary sustainable development issues that are primarily linked to its business strategy. The effectiveness and transparency of the process are ensured through the Company’s Sustainable Development Governance System, under which the individual Sustainability/ESG leaders and owners of the business sectors of Metlen Energy & Metals record and evaluate all proposals, ideas, and concerns from the Social Partners.
The key enduring objectives of the Consultation Institution are:
i. To understand and respond to the expectations of the key groups of Social Partners with whom Metlen Energy & Metals communicates, collaborates, and interacts within the framework of its activities.
ii. To verify the material sustainable development issues and disseminate corporate values and the concept of responsible entrepreneurship.
iii. To continuously strive to enhance transparency and maintain the social acceptance of the company’s operations.
iv. To recognize and bridge, in the most effective way, any differences between the company’s policies and the perceptions of its Social Partners regarding material sustainable development issues.
v. To highlight new ways of collaboration to improve and strengthen existing relationships, reinforcing Metlens’ policy in the prevention and recognition of economic, environmental, and social risks and opportunities.
