Aurania Resources Ltd (TSX-V:ARU, OTCQB:AUIAF), the South America-focused explorer, said it had completed its first annual Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) report, through the assistance of Onyen Corporation's software solution for resource companies.
This report sits with the firm's ISO14001 certification for its environmental work achieved in 2020 and renewed in 2021 and both provide yardsticks against which Aurania can measure its efforts on its environmental footprint and social outreach.
"President Guillermo Lasso has provided unequivocal guidance as to how he would like to see the resource industry develop in Ecuador; to drive economic growth through leadership that provides exemplary social engagement and environmental stewardship," said Dr Keith Barron, Aurania's CEO in a statement.
"Our entire team has heard the president's message and is rising to that challenge. Our maiden ESG report, coupled with our ISO14001 registration, provide evidence of our commitment, but more importantly, help us to measure our progress and challenge us to do better," he added.
