Sustainable Mining

Sustainable mining relies on various technological, economic and social innovations and practices to minimize the negative impacts of mining activities on the environment and society. This approach implies responsible behavior towards natural resources, reducing pollution, preserving biodiversity and supporting the local community where mining activities take place.

The application of the principles of sustainable development refers to the entire life cycle of a mine, including activities such as exploration, design, construction, exploitation, closure and mine reclamation. Sustainable mining therefore implies social responsibility, which means that the rights of the local community and workers must be respected, and employees must be trained to work according to the highest standards of safety and occupational health and safety. This model of work ensures that the mining activity takes place with minimal impact on the environment and maximum economic benefits for all interested parties.

By the end of 2028, the plan is to exclude ourselves from all business activities related to the exploitation of coal.
