OUR POLICIES
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
OHS is everyone’s business.
Since our employees are our most precious resource, it is essential for us to set an example of continuous improvement in terms of health and safety.
To meet this objective, we base our practices on the C.A.R.E. four essential pillars.
ENVIRONMENT
We work in an industry that trades in raw material of superior quality and purity.
It is therefore our nature to protect the environment in which we operate and continue seeking innovative solutions in order to keep improving our practices.
PREVENTION AND HANDLING OF HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
To preserve our most precious resource, we need to take care of it.
The company wishes to offer all of its employees a healthy and respectful work environment.
This is why we have implemented a policy aimed at eliminating any form of harassment and discrimination at work. The policy includes definitions, clear examples and a simple procedure to follow to signal any inappropriate behaviour, speech or gestures toward or by individuals.
RESPONSIBLE PROCUREMENT
The company wishes to diligently assume its responsibilities with regard to environmental, societal and ethical issues as part of its procurement process.
Through its policy, the company seeks to obtain the best value for money from the goods and services it procures while stimulating the economy of local communities and Indigenous groups.
HUMAN RIGHTS
First Nations communities, host communities, employees, suppliers and partners all have rights, and respecting them is fundamental to the way the Company conducts its business.
This policy is based on guiding principles, charters and agreements developed by international organizations to ensure that the integrity of individuals is respected in all places and at all times.
DONATION AND SPONSORSHIP POLICY
One of the main priorities of our company has always been to invest in the sustainable development of our communities, by reducing the environmental footprint of our activities but also by encouraging local suppliers and organizations and supporting initiatives we care about.
To maximize the positive impact of our donations and sponsorships, we have adopted a policy with guidelines designed to ensure our various investments in the community have a genuine impact.
Through this policy, our company intends to continue to contribute significantly to the prosperity of our host communities.
