ESG PERFORMANCE
Our performance improved on several ESG metrics on the back of sustainability and technology efforts carried out over the last few years. The increased use of recycled and treated water, improving smelter efficiency, higher metal recoveries, gainful utilisation of water and focus on renewable power led to the conservation of natural resources and lower impact on environment. We are focusing on contractor safety, industrial hygiene and rigorous training of our workforce to keep our workplace safe for all. Also, we are investing in many community-focused projects.
