Avon Metals is a voluntary participant in the Global Reporting Initiative - the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework. The G3 Guidelines (incorporating a Metals and Mining specific supplement developed by the International Council for Metals and Mining) have become the de facto global standard for reporting, and include financial, environmental and social dimensions relating to the company's activities, products and services. GRI collaborates with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the United Nations Global Compact . Our Index Reporting is made available to stakeholders through our corporate website and hardcopy Annual Sustainability Report. In 2008, Avon Metals became an Organisational Stakeholder of the GRI, reinforcing our commitment to change.
