Flint publishes first externally available sustainability report

Aligned to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the report outlines Flint Group’s performance in three key areas – social, economic and environment – and details the way in which Flint Group has incorporated sustainable business practices into its daily activities.

The report is intended to serve as a flagship document for stakeholders to help understand Flint Group’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. It can be downloaded here.

Flint Group said it operates an approach to sustainability that not only ensures alignment to business strategy but also to its organizational goal of operating in a manner that maximises product performance while minimizing any negative impact of its operations on the environment.

Antoine Fady, chief executive officer of Flint Group, said: ‘The introduction of this first Sustainability report is a key building block for the organization and one which will provide a source of constant evolution for us.

‘While this is the first public and external sustainability report for the group, it is important to note that this has been built on many years of focus and management of the elements that remain critical to the sustainability agenda.

‘Flint Group has been built from companies with roots stretching back over 230 years – and has been able to draw from experience to mix and match values based on “best practice” to integrate sustainability into the way we run the business, rather than a separate initiative.

He added: ‘We know we are not there yet; we also know that there will always be room to improve. We do, however, believe that our current understanding and status of our sustainability efforts forms a great starting point and basis to work from moving forwards.’
