Eramet Improves Its Environmental Rating with the CDP
The mining and metallurgical group Eramet has achieved an A- rating for climate and water management in the 2025 cycle of the Carbon Disclosure Project, according to a statement released on Monday. This assessment distinguishes the company among nearly 20,000 companies analyzed by this global reference organization for environmental transparency.
Enhanced Water Security and Consistent Climate Change Ratings
Eramet has received an A- score for water security, marking an improvement from the B rating awarded in 2024, the statement indicates. The group has also maintained its A- rating for climate change, stable compared to the previous year. According to the company, these results reflect the alignment of its actions with its Act for Positive Mining roadmap. To enhance its water management, Eramet has improved the reliability of its data and established water balances for all its sites, the statement specifies. The group's sites are adapting their management plans to align with major international standards, including the IRMA standard and ICMM guidelines, in a logic of risk anticipation and usage optimization.
CDP's Role in Environmental Disclosure
The Carbon Disclosure Project, a nonprofit organization that operates the main independent system for environmental information disclosure, evaluated nearly 20,000 companies in 2025, according to the statement. The evaluation is based on a progressive scale ranging from D- to A, structured in four levels: basic transparency, understanding of issues, implementation of policies, and adoption of advanced best practices. More than 640 financial institutions, including institutional investors, asset management companies, banks, and insurers, have requested environmental data through the CDP in 2025, representing more than a quarter of global institutional assets, the group indicates. Virginie de Chassey, Director of Sustainable Development and Corporate Engagement at Eramet, emphasizes that data transparency remains a key lever to accelerate action and control risks for responsible mining and metallurgical activities.
CDP Scores as a Benchmark for Extra-Financial Performance
CDP scores play a key role in supporting companies in their transition and are widely recognized as a benchmark for extra-financial performance, according to the statement. Over the past decade, companies listed on the CDP's A list have outperformed their peers by 6% in terms of stock market performance, illustrating the link between environmental ambition and long-term value creation. International investors widely use these scores to monitor the environmental performance of their portfolios, inform their investment decisions, and comply with regulatory requirements and sectoral commitments, the group specifies. CDP data also contributes to better management of risks associated with climate change and resource scarcity, by highlighting the real economic impacts of climate events, the company indicates.
