Horizonte publishes sustainability report for 2020
Horizonte Minerals PLC has published a sustainability report for the year ended 31 December 2020. The report is an overview of the company's sustainability performance over the 2020 financial year, primarily focussed on the Araguaia ferronickel project in Brazil and also includes data from the Vermelho nickel-cobalt project and corporate head office where appropriate.
The report is available to view on the company's website at: https://horizonteminerals.com/uk/en/sustainability_report/
This is the company's second standalone sustainability report, compiled in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative. The report covers Horizonte's approach, achievements, and goals for accountable and transparent corporate governance, developing a local, inclusive and diverse workforce, maintaining a safe workplace, minimising our environmental footprint and creating value for stakeholders.
The report noted that there were zero work-related coronavirus transmissions, zero environmental incidents, and zero lost time injuries and fatalities.
"Our commitment to the highest sustainability standards and the transparent reporting of our sustainability practices positions Horizonte as an important emerging nickel producer,” said Katie Millar, Head of ESG and Communications at Horizonte.
“Sustainability is critical to our business strategy. We encourage proactive dialogue with all our stakeholders and look forward to reporting on our continued progress as we work to align with additional international standards including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals."
