Bauxite mining is a core part of Sierramin’s strategy and is integrated into every aspect of the business
Bauxite mining is a long-term business. In addition to delivering the metals and minerals that power our global economy, we believe our business can make a lasting, positive impact beyond shareholder value. Our sustainability approach starts with building and maintaining respectful relationships with the communities and governments that host our operations.
Mitigating and managing the inherent risks in our business is critical to our success, more importantly to our stakeholders’ wellbeing. We are committed to the responsible management of resources such as land, air quality, water and biodiversity, as well as putting the health and safety of our people first.
Sierramin’s policies and standards support these efforts and guide our performance. In addition, we voluntarily participate in organizations and initiatives that provide a framework for action, a means for independently measuring our performance and a forum to learn and share best practices.
Our systems also ensure effective health, safety, community relations and environmental protection processes are in place at all Sierramin operations. In previous years, we have assessed our site-based management systems using ISO 14001 (environment) and OHSAS 18001 (health and safety) standards.
