LME sustainability plans 'will not help decarbonization' of the metals sector, En+ says

The London Metal Exchange recently announced the next steps in its sustainability drive, but En+ Group believes the plans "do not address the industry's concerns."

The energy and metals company said on Wednesday December 16 the LME's plans "represent a lost opportunity to drive industry-wide meaningful change" at a time when the world looks to "build back better" in 2021 from the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic.
