Sustainability Priorities

Double materiality assessment serves as the basis for developing Maillefer’s sustainability management and reporting, including target setting and metrics.

Maillefer's most material sustainability topics

Maillefer has identified the most material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IRO) for sustainability. The assessment was carried out through internal estimates, internal and external information, inquiries, and interviews.  

The material topics were confirmed to be: Climate change, Resources and circular economy, Own workforce, Workers in the value chain, and Business conduct.

Maillefer conducted the double materiality assessment according to the principles of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) as well as the EU taxonomy.   

The double materiality assessment was finalized in 2024. We will update the analysis based on needs.   

Key sustainability themes and topics 

Based on the double materiality analysis, we have grouped material topics under three ESG themes. As an umbrella for these, we highlight the sustainability of products and production through the “Master more with less” approach.

Master more with less

For our customers, “Master more with less” means better material choice, lower utility costs, less material use, and less scrap. We want to provide sustainable value and significant savings in all we do.
