Capstone Copper said the Copper Mark has been awarded to its Mantoverde and Mantos Blancos operations in Chile.
The Copper Mark is a comprehensive assurance framework, developed to ensure that value chain participants demonstrate best practice in responsible production and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Copper Mark is a voluntary program that independently assesses conformance with 32 environmental, social, and governance requirements.
“I would like to congratulate our entire team on this esteemed milestone. Responsible operating practices are a vital component of our commitment to the environment, our employees, local communities and governments, and must remain front of mind in everything we do. We recognize our role to be a responsible producer of copper given its critical role in supporting decarbonization and electrification efforts, globally,” said Capstone’s Chief Executive Officer, John MacKenzie.
“The Copper Mark serves as a powerful advocate for transparency and accountability, and reinforces the values we place on responsible, sustainable production. We take pride in the achievements of our Chilean operations and are actively striving to replicate this success at Pinto Valley and Cozamin,” said Capstone’s SVP, Risk, ESG and General Counsel, Wendy King.
