Sustainability Policy
Global Mining Engineering Company (GMEC) dealing with Engineering, Project Management business for our clients and trading operations value chain of metals and minerals mining and processing in more than 10 countries puts highest priority on sustainability as is the core of GMEC’s operations. Our projects with global operations necessitate a holistic and well-rounded approach to sustainability that encompasses a variety of areas, like sustainable mining practices, energy conservation, recycling, environment-friendly disposal of industrial wastes, safety practices, socio-economic development of the communities around our mining locations and empowerment of our employees.
The mining industry interacts with a variety of different natural environments, many of which may be sensitive. GMEC operating in always sensitive area, needs to employ sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies, socially responsible management systems and operational practices which can guarantee safe and responsible operations, protect the natural environment and address concerns about the company’s effect on the local community.
We place sustainability at the heart of our business operations. The understanding of our own socio-economic impact and the growing urgency of shifting to a low carbon economy has driven us to choose reliable suppliers following sustainable production and sourcing policies. Responsible procurement is ensured by our experienced team.
We apply this approach to the whole supply chain, facilitating all participants to put the planet rst. The core points of our environmental management are reected in our Environmental Policy Statement.
Our Code of ethics and business conduct include the cornerstone principles shaping our values as a company in sustainability and conducting business with the highest level of integrity and ethics. All GMEC employees are required to abide by the standards set forth in the Code of ethics and business conduct. GMEC does not tolerate retaliation against any employee who reports misconduct or cooperates with a compliance investigation.
Following OECD Due Diligence Guidance for responsible mineral supply chains, all of our contractor and suppliers are evaluated and based on applicable standards, including environmental and ethical standards.
GMEC is committed to following sustainable mining and metals industry principles targeting to minimise negative environmental, social, and economic impacts associated with mining and minerals processing activities. Sustainable mining promotes resource eciency, minimising waste, and embracing recycling and circular solutions.
The mining industry is critical to the transition to a low-carbon future. Minerals and metals are essential building blocks in a wide variety of clean energy technologies, from wind turbines, solar panels and nuclear power, to electric vehicles and battery storage. To increase sustainability and decrease carbon intensity, the mining and metals sector is under pressure to rethink how it extracts, renes, and recycles.
For GMEC, sustainable mining means adopting a comprehensive approach to ensuring the long-term sustainability of mining operations, as well as associated downstream beneciation processes. GMEC is committed to following sustainable mining and metallurgical industry principles targeting to minimise negative environmental, social, and economic impacts associated with mining and minerals processing activities.
Sustainable mining promotes resource eciency by minimising waste, and embracing recycling and circular solutions.
We have a sustainable mindset. Through our services we help clients in shaping and developing their ideas into technically, environmentally, and nancially viable solutions.
Based on our wide range of knowledge, we can help clients to improve the sustainability of their operations at every step and in any scale of a project, from exploration to mining and minerals processing to further beneciation, smelting and end-product rening and manufacture to end-of-life recycling.
A transition to more circular material ows needs to take place to improve sustainability of this sector. Reaching higher material eciency and developing new end-uses for byproducts, moving towards zero-waste, improving recyclability of raw materials and by-products are keys to this objective. With the traditional boundaries of industries blurring,
circular economy also fuels new business models and partnerships for the industry. Recycling enables the creation of new goods with a far smaller carbon footprint; therefore, it is
vital to change present practices.
