Howmet Aerospace Releases 2019 Environmental, Social and Governance Report

Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) today announced that it has released its inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report. The report highlights the Company’s commitment and approach to sustainability as well as detailed results against its key metrics, which are designed to drive significant positive impacts for its stakeholders and surrounding communities.

“Our ESG approach is rooted in the role we play in helping our customers, aircraft manufacturers and airlines meet growing demand in air travel while mitigating the environmental impact,” said John C. Plant, Howmet Aerospace executive chairman and co-chief executive officer. “Our proprietary technologies help reduce fuel consumption and cut carbon emissions, contributing to the aerospace industry’s goal of a smaller carbon footprint. Our products and technologies enable similar advances in the commercial transportation and defense industries.”

Highlights of Howmet’s environmental, social and governance achievements during 2019 include:

• A 5.8 percent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions and 1.4 percent decline in energy consumption compared when to 2018
• Zero employee and contractor fatalities
• A 29 percent decline in days away, restricted and transfer rate and a 40 percent decrease in the lost workday rate when compared to 2018
• 83 percent of the Company’s key suppliers have sustainability programs considered leading or active
• A new partnership with a third-party ethics and compliance training vendor that is widely recognized for its award-winning, innovative content

Howmet Aerospace believes that truly sustainable organizations shape the future and by fulfilling the needs of society now, it can expand opportunities for generations to come. The Company’s ESG approach is based on three levers that help advance its efforts: (1) operational sustainability that keeps employees safe, empowered and engaged while reducing the Company’s environmental footprint; (2) customer sustainability that—through Howmet’s innovative products and technologies—enables customers and their end users to achieve their sustainability goals; and (3) supply chain sustainability that promotes the use of sustainable processes and practices among suppliers. Unless otherwise noted, the information and data contained in the report pertain only to the operations in the Company’s current profile.
