What is ESG

Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance refers to the three central criteria of the sustainability and societal impact of a company. Analysis of these criteria is thought by some to help to better determine the future financial performance and potential investment merit in a company.

FYI is committed to developing and maintaining a corporate culture to implement the ESG criteria as a core focus of the Company. Our goal is to efficiently manage and grow our business under a defined framework and to progressively evolve the Company and its ESG performance.

Global sustainable investment is now approaching $30 trillion and investors are taking an increasing interest in how a company manages and takes responsibility for its operations and corporate activities.

Managing Director of FYI, Mr Roland Hill commented: “FYI’s whole ethos is focused on innovation, quality and improvement of standards as reflected in the successful development of our high quality, ultra-pure alumina refining process. As a company, we seek to adopt leading ESG processes, practices and governance standards in a manner consistent with our developing company status and culture. We are making positive moves to transition the Company to a sustainable model and assist with our contribution in fundamentally reshaping the global economy with a change to our attitude and mindset via the goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions.”

ADOPTING AN ESG FRAMEWORK

The environment in which the Company conducts its business is constantly evolving through changes in climate impact, environmental restrictions and multiple regulatory, safety and social issues. The ever-changing global operating environment is challenging the traditional expectations of corporations and impacting the subsequent redirection of investment capital.

To manage the changing ESG requirements, FYI has made a commitment to its sustainability objectives and is initiating an ESG platform developed by the globally recognised WEF with the intention of transitioning the Company towards long term responsible and sustainable operations to underpin shareholder value. The areas of focus include: governance; anticorruption practices; ethical behaviour; human rights; carbon emissions; land use; ecological sensitivity; water consumption; diversity and inclusion; pay equality and tax payments.

What is Next

FYI is undertaking two separate functions to facilitate the Company’s ESG activities.

FYI has engaged:

  1. Sustainalytics (a Morningstar company and leading ESG rating service) to provide FYI with a recognised ESG rating and establish a reporting baseline in which FYI can demonstrate continual improvement. This rating report is due the week commencing 14[th] June.

  2. Socialsuite to provide a ESG reporting platform in which FYI can measure and report upon key sustainable metrics and improvements on a quarterly basis. The initial and baseline report will be due shortly.

FYI will update the market regularly on its ESG progress and seek to ensure that our HPA project achieves a model platform and impact investment for shareholders.

This announcement is authorised for release by Roland Hill, Managing Director
