As part of our adherence to the SBTi, we have committed to reduce scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 42%, to measure and reduce our scope 3 emissions, commits to reach net-zero by 2050. and to reduce scope 1+2+3 emissions 90% by 2050.

Total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by TAMA in 2024 amounted to 2,121.79 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), of which 0.93% were direct emissions (Scope 1), 1.24% were indirect emissions from imported energy (Scope 2) and 97.83% were indirect emissions occurring in the value chain (Scope 3). With respect to 2023, Scope 1 emissions increased by 53%, Scope 2 emissions decreased by 26% and Scope 3 emissions decreased by a significant 17%.

Within the indirect emissions of Scope 3, 1,553.31 tons CO_2e are due to the purchase of steel raw materials, and 335.51 tons CO_2e originate from the purchase of wood and its derivatives used for packaging (plywood, wood, and pallets), as shown in Figure 10.

In relation to the intensity of CO₂ emissions  – i.e., the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent emitted per ton of processed steel (scopes 1, 2 and 3) – in 2024 TAMA achieved a significant reduction of 14.9% compared to the previous year, decreasing from 5.32 to 4.52 tons of CO2e per ton of steel.

At TAMA, we have worked on optimizing our electricity consumption, achieving in 2024 a 32.4% reduction in energy intensity, with a consumption of 264 kWh per ton of processed steel.

SDG 6 on “Clean Water and Sanitation” demands us to be more efficient in water use to achieve universal coverage. Our water consumption per ton of production increased from 1.45 m³ in 2020 to 3.10 m³ in 2024. However, in 2024, TAMA experienced a notable rise in water consumption, primarily due to unauthorized use of our public network connection by third parties through illicit taps.

In 2024, paper consumption at TAMA, used mainly for printing manufacturing drawings and records, increased from 0.11 to 0.17 thousand per ton of steel due to specific requirements from some customers who request their quality dossiers in physical format.

To meet our customers’ packaging standards, in 2024 for every 100 tons of steel fabrications five 0.81 m diameter x 17.90 m high trees had to be felled. In 2024, we set out to restrict the use of wood exclusively to pallets with standard dimensions of 1,300 mm x 1,100 mm, eliminating the use of wooden slats or beams for packaging our fabrications . This initiative enabled us to reduce wood consumption by 28% compared to the previous year.

Since 2009, TAMA has been carrying out statistical control of the solid waste generated by our operations. In the 2020-2023 period, the ratio of solid steel waste generation has remained stable between 167 and 185 kg of steel waste per ton processed.

SDG 10 on reducing inequalities states that it is necessary to distribute resources equitably, and to invest in education and capacity building. Since 2018 when TAMA began the process to achieve ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001, and ISO 37001 certifications, we have progressively increased training for employees and operators. Thus, for instance, in 2024 TAMA workers attended an average of 5.59 days of technical training, staff induction, and five-minute safety talks, compared to 4.68 annual days of training received in 2023.

In line with SDG N° 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG N° 10 (Reducing Inequalities), and with our Life Plan T-GG-PL-03, the highest salary of a manager at TAMA is, at most, ten times the lowest salary of an operator or assistant. In addition, at TAMA, all salaries are paid on payroll with the real wage and we do not hire minors

At TAMA we have been managing our safety indicators since 2012 and, as a result of the safety training carried out, in the last five years we have significantly improved the frequency and severity rates of incidents.

In 2024, the severity of sick leave in terms of man-hours increased compared to 2023, particularly in incidents involving blows, sprains, or cuts to the hands, considering that 98% of safety accidents in the metalworking sector occur among workers.

The long standing of our customers, the qualifications obtained over the years in different audits, along with the evolution of the steel tons produced by each worker reflect that in TAMA we strive for the development of friendship, looking forward to the medium and long term, while preserving the know-how of our customers.

We are committed to keep a maximum employee to operator ratio of 1:1.5 (i.e. a maximum of 13 operators for every 10 employees) and to not using contractors. This mix of management and manufacturing capacity is what makes it possible, for example, to transform 469 tons of steel in 2024 with 91 workers: 53 operators and 38 employees.

At TAMA, since 2022 we measure gross domestic product per capita, an economic index that also reflects TAMA’s efforts towards sustainable development goals such as eradicating poverty, decent work, and economic growth.

In 2024 TAMA’s Gross Value Added per capita (GVA_pc) was US$ 20,580, 2.4 times the Peruvian GDP per capita, which is estimated at US$ 8,520 according to official data.

In line with Chapter XI “Taxation” of the OECD guidelines, which emphasizes that it is important for companies to contribute to the public finances of countries making timely payment of their tax liabilities, between September 2004 and December 2024 TAMA has contributed to the Peruvian State S/. 19,906,179 including value added taxes, income tax, social security, workers’ profit sharing, extraordinary profits, and a productivity bonus.

In this section, we provide information on confidentiality and advances in technology and innovation.

TAMA aligns itself with Chapter IX of the OECD Guidelines on Science, Technology and Innovation which states that companies must comply with applicable national laws and requirements, including privacy and data protection requirements and export control regulations, and that digital security is a shared responsibility across all stakeholders, including businesses, customers, and governments

SDG target 17.11 calls for “Significantly increase exports from developing countries“. At TAMA, we are working to position Peruvian metalworking products abroad and, as a demonstration of this, we have continued to steadily increase our exports since 2018.
