Mimimum environmentat impact

In Minersa, we take an active environmental responsibility in each stage of our operations, We focus in the reduction of our carbon footprint, by making use of clean technologies, energy efficiency and optimized processes. We restore the ecosystems where we operate with re-forestation actions, biodiversity protection and land reclamation. We believe in a mining activity that not only extracts, but also regenerates. We innovate with environmental awareness, because the future requires a proper balance between progress and care for our planet.

Carbon footprint reduction

Minersa Group has stablished specific targets, as intermediate milestones, for the reduction of Carbon emissions (scopes 1 and 2) , aligned with the Paris Agreement, which aims at limiting the global warming to C 1.5º above pre-industrial levels by promoting the a greater energy efficiency and the use of renewable energies (such as the installation of solar panels).

The targets set by the Minersa Group and the progress are annually included in a Sustainability Report, which includes annual Greenhouse gas emissions.
Protection of biodiversity and reduction of environmental impact

Mining, as any human activity, can have an effect in biodiversity and ecosystems, beyond the specific location of a mine, and that can be more important if the mining takes place in areas that are ecologically sensitive or nearby.

The climate crisis has placed the focus of environmental improvements on greenhouse gas emissions. The regenerative capacity of human activity in the environment is key to life in the planet.

Minersa has specific programs for the protection of biodiversity. We work to be more efficient in the reclaiming process, by reducing, dealing with, and reverting any damage to the physical environment, to return as much as possible to the structure, diversity and dynamics of the original ecosystem, and find an adequate use for the mine at the end of its life cycle.
Water use management

Water Management is a key element of sustainability, especially in regions where water may be scarce, and where The Group`s operations may require an intensive use of water. Therefore, water consumption control and search and implementation of efficiency improvements is fundamental in our organization.

Today, we take into consideration all characteristic aspects in each location that can be improved with proper mitigation measures of the negative effects of the activities of the different companies of the Group. We have developed several initiatives to deal with these matters, including water use optimization by recycling in some production processes, and collaboration with local communities that may imply improvement of water access for them.
