Materion’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives have been
integral to our company culture and operations since its founding in 1931.
Our ESG approach is structured around focus areas considered to be material
to our business. Clear dialogue with stakeholders is important to building
strong relationships, understanding external dynamics, earning and
maintaining trust, enhancing business performance and evolving our ESG
approach.
We regularly engage with a broad range of stakeholders including clients,
shareholders, investors, analysts, governments, regulators, suppliers and
the broader community. Driven by strong risk management, we work to
continually improve performance across our focus areas to create
sustainable value over the long-term.
Our Commitment
- From our leadership team to the Board of Directors, strong governance,
ethical operations and upholding compliance standards are vital to our
organization's continued advancement.
Our People
– Materion’s diverse employee base, who embody our culture, is the driving
force behind our success. Making sure they have a safe work environment and
the proper training ensures everyone can go home safely each day.
Our Operations
– We conduct our business activities in accordance with the Ten Principles
of the United Nations Global Compact and fully support these values. We
also expect our business partners and suppliers to conduct themselves in a
manner consistent with principles expressed in this Policy.
