Global Sustainability Committee: Guiding ME Elecmetal’s Vision for Growth and Circularity

In July 2025, ME Elecmetal’s Global Sustainability Committee marked an important milestone—its third session, in-person for the first time since being established in 2024. Held at the company’s headquarters in Santiago, Chile, the meeting centered on a critical challenge: how to continue driving business growth while simultaneously increasing environmental, social, and economic value by 2030—and setting the stage for a complete transformation by 2050.

At its core, this means reducing ME Elecmetal’s environmental footprint while remaining highly competitive in the global market. Sustainability is no longer a parallel effort—it is fully embedded into the company’s corporate strategy. From production to internal culture to stakeholder relationships, ME Elecmetal is committed to passing along the benefits of sustainability directly to its customers.

Tackling Today’s Challenge

To address this challenge, ME Elecmetal has launched a coordinated set of initiatives:

  • Defined sustainability goals supported by a clear roadmap to 2030 and beyond.

  • Material impact assessments that identify the most pressing issues, balancing stakeholder priorities with ME Elecmetal’s operational realities across regions.

  • Annual Integrated Report with a concise executive edition, offering transparent performance insights to investors, regulators, customers, partners, and communities.

  • Talent 2030 Program designed to build the skills and leadership needed to sustain long-term transformation.

  • Circular Business Model guiding practices to minimize environmental impact and advance toward full circularity by 2050.

Expected Benefits

Through evidence-based governance and transparent ESG execution, ME Elecmetal anticipates:

  • Project environmental objectives, transferring greater value to the end customer.

  • A stronger organizational culture, attracting and retaining top talent.

  • Closer alignment with stakeholder priorities, ensuring meaningful and measurable impact.

  • Consistency across operations and reporting, building resilience and credibility on the path to sustainable growth.

Real Outcomes to Date

Since its establishment, the Global Sustainability Committee has already achieved:

  • First validation of environmental sustainability goals.

  • Formal approval of the 2030–2050 sustainability roadmap.

  • Launch of an internal mobility and knowledge transfer program.

“We face the challenge of growing while effectively reducing the impacts that drive global warming, collaboratively supporting the energy transition, and advancing toward complete circularity. To that end, we have established a clear roadmap with the full backing of our Global Sustainability Committee.”
