Sustainability Framework
The company has been clear and consistent in support for responsible mining. We have shared and articulated our commitment to operate under the principles of Sustainability as a shared responsibility for all. The Company recognizes its potential and practical impact on people and communities and knows that its performance in environmental, social and governance aspects is important to its stakeholders.
The Company therefore continued striving to gather best practices in sustainability reporting and ensure coverage of aspects that stakeholders consider material and critical for their relationship with the FNI. We conducted a Materiality Assessment participated in by representatives from different departments. Through this exercise, we identified essential topics related to economic and environmental factors, governance, and community development. Each aspect was weighed for both its impact to the business and its impact on stakeholders’ relationship with the Company.
The resulting matrix reveals that the topics our stakeholders consider material are those that are closely related to the Company’s mission of “delivering value by carrying out our activities in an environmentally, socially and financially responsible manner for the benefit of the nation, the communities where we operate, our employees, customers and other stakeholders.”
