TULSA, Okla., Sept. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq: MTRX), a leading contractor to the energy and industrial markets across North America, today released its Fiscal 2024 Sustainability Report.

"In addition to our focus on strengthening our operational excellence and financial performance, in fiscal 2024, our teams continued to advance sustainability at Matrix, which is embedded in our core values," said Matrix Service Company President and CEO John R. Hewitt. "Notably, we completed our first Materiality Assessment to help inform and prioritize our sustainability work and help us meet stakeholder expectations. We are committed to quality and efficiency in everything we do, including sustainability."

Key highlights include:

• Completion of the Company's first Materiality Assessment
• Third-party evaluation and investments in systems and processes to:
  • Achieve maximum quality and efficiency in end-to-end project management and execution;
  • Ensure we can meet future federal and state ESG reporting requirements;
  • Drive global supply chain compliance and performance, reduce risks, and enrich our supplier diversity spend; and
  • Ensure accurate capture and reporting of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, and related audit readiness.
• Continued focus on operational excellence and financial performance; and
• Further strengthening of the balance sheet to support business strategy and objectives.

Reporting Standards and Framework

Consistency and transparency are critical for ESG planning and, as such, beginning with the 2021 Sustainability Report, Matrix has adopted the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) reporting standards and included a SASB reference table that details where the information set forth by SASB for the construction and engineering sector can be found in our public reporting. In fiscal 2022, the Company also began reporting under the Financial Stability Board's Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations, as governed by the ISSB and IFRS Foundation.

By following SASB and TCFD, the Company strives to identify, disclose, and communicate sustainability information considered to be materially important to all stakeholders, and believe information reported under these frameworks will result in more consistent, comparable, and meaningful reporting.
