Environmental is a fundamental responsibility of any modern mining company and a critical part of our business strategy. Regardless of the strength and rigor of the environmental management practices in place, the reality is that mining does have an impact on the natural environment. We are nevertheless committed to managing and minimizing these impacts.

Responsibly managing our environmental impacts not only reduces risk, but it also helps to deliver a sustainable legacy for the regions. By applying the highest standards of environmental management, using natural resources and energy efficiently, recycling and reducing waste, and working to protect biodiversity, we can deliver significant cost savings to our business, reduce future liabilities, and help build strong stakeholder relationships.
