Paris, September
26, 2023 – Nexans, a leader in the design
and manufacturing of cable systems and services, announced today
that its Montreal (Canada) and Lens (France) metallurgy facilities
have been awarded The Copper Mark.
This recognition demonstrates Nexans’
contribution to sustainable development and provides a
comprehensive social and environmental assurance program for copper
rod production. Nexans is one of the first cable manufacturers and
rod mill operators to receive this award in North America and
Europe.
Nexans’ Montreal and Lens sites obtained the
Copper Mark label following a site-level evaluation conducted by
independent audit firms. Both sites have been assessed against the
32 internationally recognized sustainability criteria including
environmental, social, and governance standards.
Christophe Allain – Nexans Global
Portfolio Director Non-Ferrous
Metals – said: “The Copper Mark is the only organization
working diligently to ensure sustainable production of copper and
whose focus on social and environmental responsibility mirror those
of Nexans. Being awarded this label is key at a time when Corporate
Social Responsibility is becoming a key component of the metals and
mining Industry.”
Vincent
Dessale – Nexans Chief Operating Officer
Senior Executive VP – added: “In the fight against climate
change, solutions that support the world’s energy transition make a
real difference. Copper rod responsible production is a key
component to this goal. This is why we are thrilled to be awarded
the Copper Mark, an organization that shares the same values as
ours. We look forward to continuing our metallurgy initiatives in
our facilities to create a more sustainable future. This
achievement has been possible thanks the dedication of our 272
collaborators working in the Lens and Montreal sites.”
Copper is a crucial part of the renewable energy
transition as it is a primary component in electrification. As
countries attempt to reach net-zero goals, copper demand is
expected to soar in the future. Nexans’ responsibility is to make
sure this increasing demand will be met according to responsible
production practices. The Copper Mark recognition fully highlights
Nexans’ position at the forefront of the sustainable
electrification of the world. The Group has been a member of the UN
Global Compact since 2008 and has been including the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in its Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) priorities since then.
Nexans will soon launch the same process in
order to seek to obtain the Copper Mark label for its two other rod
mill facilities in Peru and Chile.
