The Capital Group of Grupa Kęty S.A. runs business in accordance with the highest ethical standards, following a developed system of values based on professionalism, ethics and mutual respect.

The ethical processes at our organisation have been constantly developed. The changing business culture, increased standards with regard to respecting human rights or corruption prevention obliged the Capital Group of Grupa Kęty S.A. to apply even higher diligence with regard to building professional and ethical business.

The ethical issues fall within the competence of the CSR area. The Business Ethics Ombudsman and the CSR Director submit to the Steering Committee for Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility their proposals of actions for the popularisation of the Code of Ethics and corporate culture, based on ethics and respect for the generally assumed values, as well as initiate and participate in the process of creating training schemes in the areas related to ethics and the organisational culture of the Capital Group of Grupa KĘTY S.A. Reporting the Code breaches is described on page 15 of the Code of Ethics.

Environmental

Indicator
GHG Emissions Intensity(GHG Int)

Unit
[Mg CO2e/Mg]

2025 Goal: -15%
Target update: – 20%, other parameters unchanged

Our ambition is to strive for climate neutrality in 2050.

Formula for calculating the indicator

GHG Int = (GHG scope 1 emissions) + (GHG scope 2 emissions)
total production

Description of the measurement method

  1. Reported emissions cover scope 1 (direct emissions) and scope 2 (indirect emissions), base year: 2016.
  2. Calculation methodology in accordance with The Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard Revised Edition.
  3. The indicator includes domestic companies of the Capital Group. In the event of a significant change in the Group’s structure, possible adjustments to calculate the value of the ratio proportionally to the changes.
  4. Emissions to be reported in metric tons CO2e.
  5. Actions to reduce GHG emissions include carbon offset options in line with the mechanisms defined in the Kyoto Protocol.

Indicator
Content of aluminum scrap in products extruded from low-emission billets LOW CARBON KETY (Al Rec)

Unit
[%]

2025 Goal: 75%

Execution 2021: 68%

Our ambition is to strive for climate neutrality in 2050.

Formula for calculating the indicator

Al rec = Mass of scrap aluminium
Product weight

Description of the measurement method

  1. Aluminium scrap includes: post-consumer scrap, pre-consumer scrap and home scrap acc. ISO 14021.
  2. LOW CARBON KETY billets produced in the soft alloys casting line in Kęty.

Unit
[%]

2025 Goal: +5%

Execution 2021: +1.3%

Our ambition is to strive for climate neutrality in 2050.

Formula for calculating the indicator

% rec = m2 of recyclable films and laminates
total mof films and laminates

 

Description of the measurement method
Recyclable films and laminates determined by structure analysis.
The total amount of films and laminates [m2] based on the sales report. Base year: 2020.

Social

Indicator
TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate)

Unit
number

2025 Goal: <1

Execution 2021: 1.2

Our ambition is to strive for elimination of serious or fatal accidents and create a safe working environment (zero accidents).

We also measure the level of security by LTIR refers to Lost Time Incident Rate, average number of incidents per hundred employees leading to an employee being unable to work for a minimum of one day

LTIR = number of incidents leading to an employee being unable to work for a minimum of one day X 200 000 / time worked

Execution 2021: 1.2

Formula for calculating the indicator
TRIR = number of accidents / time worked x 200,000

Description of the measurement method
Number of accidents per hundred employees.
The fixed 200,000 is calculated as follows: 100 employees work 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year. Base year: 2020.

Indicator
Rotation

Unit
[%]

2025 Goal: -5%y/y

Execution 2021: -4%y/y

  2. Consolidated net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company published in the consolidated annual financial statements for the year to which the adopted dividend relates.

Comment to the results 2021

Most of the main goals have been achieved, in compliance with the five-year Strategy period. Exception is the higher than expected level of staff rotation. The effects of our work within the broadly understood HR policy are measured with the staff rotation ratio (i.e. the number of employees leaving the company to the average headcount), and reducing it by 5% y/y. In 2021 the average for the Capital Group was 11.5%, which means that we have not achieved the planned result of 11.37%. This is, however, a slight, only 1% deviation from the assumptions, which does not have a significant impact on the achievement of long-term objectives in that area. In 2022 we plan activities to improve the competitiveness of the companies on local markets, which will affect the aforesaid level of staff rotation.

For some goals the progress is faster than expected – for example, in the first year of the Strategy implementation we managed to accelerate the process of engaging suppliers. It was possible thanks to intensive work in that period. Additionally, the number of environmentally certified buildings in the Aluprof brand portfolio grew. It is a clear confirmation that the building industry of which the ASS is a part, has perceived the systematic growth in the investor’s awareness as regards ecology, change of climate and the need to build in a sustainable manner, based on environmentally- and human-friendly materials. Aluprof products comply with the idea of circular economy (i.e. materials fit for recycling), where aluminium perfectly fulfils that role.

One of the objectives, particularly important from the point of view of influencing climate change, is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and it has been achieved in compliance with the assumptions, which mobilises us to make internal decisions regarding the objective update.
