Environmental Management -
Beyond Compliance; A proactive approach
Best Environmental Practice going well beyond regulatory compliance and, in so doing, setting high standards for the operation of our mining, processing, smelting, refining and recycling facilities.
Protection of Natural Resources that goes hand in hand with our commitment to environmental excellence and our dedication to responsible environmental management of operating facilities.
Recycling Spent PGM Catalytic Materials extending our commitment to the protection of natural resources.
Proactive Environmental Management Practices utilizing new technologies and progressive initiatives that demonstrate and advance environmental and social responsiveness. Examples include; state of the art water treatment facilities, progressive interim reclamation programs, wildlife enhancements and social initiatives. A precedent setting Good Neighbor Agreement is a critical element of our commitment to a proactive approach, and provides “Neighbor” representatives with access to environmental records and regulatory meetings, among other things. Implementation of an environmental management and audit system, now underway, will organize all environmental program aspects and advance continual improvement and environmental excellence.
Setting the Industry Standard with exemplary environmental management, neighbor relations, records of compliance and reputation. Initiatives have been recognized by numerous environmental organizations representing the full spectrum of the environmental community, from regulator and regulated to environmental organization. Examples of recognition include U.S. Department of the Interior’s Hard Rock Mineral Environmental Award to the Northern Plains Resource Council’s Good Neighbor Agreement, 5-Year Award.
Environmental Effectiveness monitored by a Board level committee, which reviews environmental management effectiveness and regulatory compliance. Environmental initiatives have resulted in no issues of non-compliance.
Improving Energy Efficiency through evaluating and reducing the utilization of energy. The process is expected to provide measures with which to compare our record to that of other precious metal companies.
