Strategy

To successfully complete the essential energy and environmental transition, the world needs metals from a responsible mining industry. To produce more and produce better, Eramet is implementing an ambitious strategy that combines operational excellence and CSR excellence.

Our Goals

To become a reference in the responsible transformation of the Earth's mineral resources, for ‘living well’ together – our corporate purpose. This ambition is supported by two strategic axes:

  • Growing in metals for global economic development (manganese, nickel, mineral sands)

  • Developing critical metals for the energy transition (lithium, nickel/cobalt salts, battery recycling)

We have repositioned our portfolio to make Eramet a mining player in the energy transition, since we are fortunate enough to have most of the metals for batteries: lithium, nickel and cobalt.

Backed by a new model that is both agile and robust, and supported by the confidence of its investors, Eramet's has a strong ambition which is reflected by its corporate purpose.

A comprehensive transformation process

We've embarked on a strategic and managerial transformation. The goal is to unleash energies, restore competitiveness in a changing environment and sustainably create value for all stakeholders. The digital transformation, which straddles all of our activities, is a key driver of this dynamic.

  • Twofold strategic development:  growing in metals for global economic development (manganese, nickel, mineral sands) and developing critical metals for the energy transition (lithium, nickel/cobalt salts, battery recycling).
  • An exhaustive support across all levels of the value chain: new organisational structures; new management methods; and new ways of working.
  • Digital support across all levels of the value chain: connect geology to the economy; optimise processes through artificial intelligence (AI) and ensure the traceability and quality of our products.
