ESG rating
The feedback of ESG (environmental, social and governance) rating agencies is very important to us as a benchmark and an indicator of our stakeholders’ main concerns.
- Our ISS ESG corporate rating worsened slightly. This was in part due to our performance in the eco-efficiency category resulting from decreased capacity utilization caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
- Our V.E rating improved in 2021, placing us above the average for the industry.
