Biodiversity

Pillar 2: Transforming the planet

Aim 6: Innovations for greener business model

Given the impact that metals and mining industry has on environment, addressing the biodiversity concerns become crucial. Our operations majorly rely on healthy ecosystems to secure water supplies, remain protection from storm surges in the coastal regions and maintain livable conditions for the communities who live around our operations.

Site having Biodiversity Management Plans

Our biodiversity policy and standard advise us on how disruption to the local ecology should be avoided, minimized and compensated for, from project scoping to site closure and beyond. We are members of the India Business & Biodiversity Initiative. Additionally, HZL is part of IUCN’s – Leaders for Nature program and Zinc International has worked extensively with IUCN to ensure that we meet our No Net Loss principles at Gamsberg, which is located in the Karoo Biosphere Reserve.

We are committed to minimizing our biodiversity impact
