Markets served globally are presented in detail and cover Metallurgy, Foundry, Construction and Specialties. Sustainable Development and Careers are constantly enriched with testimonials and good practices and activities taking place across the Group. S&B's rich history and tradition is also recorded in an easy-to-navigate timeline, while all announcements, Annual and Social Reports published over the past ten years are available in the Media section. The Investor Relations section features all publicly available financial information, presentations and reports, as well as dynamic stock charts and share calculator tools, allowing analysts and investors to easily access the information they need.
