Copper Mountain Mining Corporation has met or exceeded its sustainability targets for 2021, which were to achieve a “Yes” or at least an “A” rating on each of the Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) protocols.

“ESG is deeply integrated into our business, and meeting or exceeding each of the TSM targets confirms our commitment to mining with integrity, TSM addresses a broad range of critical mining protocols. Those protocols, along with our innovative ESG initiatives, such as our electric trolley assist program which will launch in the first half of this year, enable us to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and pave the way to our 2035 net-zero target,”said Gil Clausen, Copper Mountain’s president and CEO.

“TSM addresses a broad range of critical mining protocols. Those protocols, along with our innovative ESG initiatives, such as our electric trolley assist program which will launch in the first half of this year, enable us to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and pave the way to our 2035 net-zero target,” added Clausen.

“The copper we produce is vital to driving the green energy transition and we intend to deliver that value in a comprehensive and responsible way. This aligns with our corporate purpose: To Power a Sustainable Future,” concluded Clausen.

The TSM external verification was completed by an independent, qualified, and certified TSM Verification Service Provider for TSM requirements.

In addition to the company’s efforts to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, Copper Mountain continues to look for innovative solutions to further its sustainability practices. Beyond trolley assist, Copper Mountain is also collaborating with the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation and a few key partners to develop the Mines Digital Trust project. This project uses blockchain technology to attach ESG disclosures to metal production, enabling transparency along the supply chain, allowing third parties to track responsible producers. The company is also focused on minimizing waste through efficiency, recycling and reuse, and is working in partnership with Kal Tire to advance haul truck tire recycling.
