Celebrating 10 years of our Board of Directors, established to ensure the longevity of our family business and generational succession, strengthening our corporate governance.
Established in 2023, our committees — ESG, Safety, Legal, and Audit, Quality & Environment — have an executive role and are responsible for addressing strategic topics for the organization, developing and advancing priority agendas.
Our ESG Committee monitors the ESG Action Plan, which was developed based on our materiality matrix and the company’s sustainability guidelines.
In 2025, we published our first sustainability report, covering the year 2024 — an important milestone in the evolution of our corporate governance.
We are active members of key institutions in our sector, working together to promote and elevate the recycling industry: SINDINESFA (Union of Scrap Iron and Steel Companies), where our Director serves as President; INESFA (National Recycling Institute), where our Director is Vice President; ReMA (Recycled Materials Association – USA); and BIR (Bureau of International Recycling – Europe). We also participate in industry events, ESG forums, and other strategic area conferences.
