Environmental Responsibility
We believe that anything short of best environmental management is unacceptable. Environmental excellence is a strategic business objective. We are committed to protecting the environment wherever we are exploring for new resources or developing and operating mines.
This involves integrating environmental priorities into decision-making throughout development and operation. Throughout a mine's life, we aim to meet or surpass its regulatory requirements, and measure its performance with regular site audits. Other priorities include conserving resources, such as water and energy, recycling materials and training employees and contractors. Through comprehensive environmental management, we are committed to ensuring that:
- Environmental effects are being adequately addressed
- Controls are in place to ensure compliance with environmental policies and obligations
- Environmental management activities are supported by adequate resources
- Plans are in place to ensure that the environment is protected for future generations and that the sustainability of nearby communities is safeguarded
