Capstone Copper Corp. has committed
to the Copper Mark at its Mantos
Blancos and Mantoverde operations in
Chile. The Copper Mark is an assurance
framework to promote responsible production
practices and demonstrate the
industry’s commitment to the U.N. Sustainable
Development Goals. Within one
year, Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde
will be assessed and independently
verified against the Copper Mark’s 32
responsible production criteria, including
environmental management, greenhouse
gas emissions, human rights,
community health, safety and development,
and governance.
“I am proud to share that our Mantos
Blancos and Mantoverde operations
have joined the Copper Mark framework,
reaffirming our commitment to
continually pursue best practices based
on international standards for responsible
mining,” Capstone CEO John MacKenzie
said. “Copper is essential to a
low-carbon future, and so it is incumbent
upon us to ensure that we supply
this critical natural resource in as sustainable manner as possible.”
