Creating leading-edge mining industry guidelines for a global aluminium production company

Developed a Sustainable Mining Charter and guidelines for a mine to develop and implement a sustainability strategy specific to its requirements. ​

With a commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices, the client, a global leader in aluminium and copper production, aimed to implement sustainable mining practices across its operations. 

To support this ambition, the client engaged Xynteo to co-create a Sustainable Mining Charter (SMC) that goes beyond statutory requirements for their bauxite and coal mines.
