LUXEMBOURG / ACCESSWIRE / September 26, 2024 / Ternium S.A. (NYSE:TX) today released its Sustainability Report 2023. The report outlines Ternium's strategy, performance, risks, and governance across various sustainability topics, including Climate Change, Environment, People, Communities, and the Value Chain. It also emphasizes that integrity is crucial to Ternium's long-term sustainability.
Ternium's Sustainability Report has been prepared following the international standards set by the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and the SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) for Iron & Steel Producers, as well as the guidelines from the World Steel Association. It also aligns with the recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) for climate change reporting and describes the company's contributions to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The report introduces a revised decarbonization target, which features several changes to the target originally announced in 2021. These are the incorporation of Scope 3 emissions, primarily from raw material and semi-finished steel purchases from third parties; an expanded boundary that now includes the hot-rolling process to better reflect the company's industrial configuration; and the adoption of the GHG Protocol methodology. The new target is a 15% reduction in emission intensity for hot-rolled steel by 2030, compared to a 2023 baseline, covering Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3 Categories 1 and 10.
The report is available at www.ternium.com.
