The Pallion Group approach to sustainability, environmental respect and corporate responsibility goes far deeper than a pro-forma release of an ESC statement in response to market expectations. CEO Andrew Cochineas is keen to point out that the 2023 report will build on previous editions while covering the latest developments in this space across the group.
The 2023 edition of the Pallion Group sustainability report – known as the Considerate® Precious Metals Annual Report – is due to be published later this year. This fourth edition builds on previous years’ efforts, tracking the Pallion Group approach to human rights, responsible business practices as well as the environment.
Key takeouts from the 2022 report were:
The introduction of new policies and reviewed standards – overseen by the group Governance and Sustainability Committee (GSC), including deeper collaboration and new initiatives with internal and external stakeholder groups.
Developments in supply chain provenance – to ensure traceability and integrity through the entire life of its products.
Risk management framework refinement – from a law enforcement perspective, as well as suppliers and human rights.
Focus on local connection and contribution – as the majority of Pallion Group’s production facilities are spread around Marrickville, a mixed urban-industrial suburb just 15 minutes from the centre of Sydney.
Technological innovation and production advancements – that not only improve output, but improve workplace safety while also helping to reduce the environmental footprint.
Community engagement activities – including mentoring, awards and scholarships as well as charitable contributions.
“What we’re most proud of is the continued growth across the group in all key areas of corporate responsibility, and the report simply recognises the work that’s being done.”
Andrew Cochineas, Pallion Group CEO
The 2023 report will build on previous years’ themes while taking into account new initiatives, as the group continues to be guided by their Considerate Precious Metals ethos through a significant period of growth.
