Safety, environment, communities: figures first.
Every year we publish the same indicators, independently assured, and we report what did not work as well as what did.
2025 indicators
Report aligned with GRI, TCFD and SASB (metals and mining). EITI-DRC disclosure. Due diligence under the OECD Guidance. Copper Mark assurance in progress.
Illustrative figures, to be replaced with the company's data.
