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.
John MacKenzie, CEO of Capstone, commented: “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. 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.”
Michèle Brülhart, Executive Director of the Copper Mark, said: “As the world’s leading copper producing country, it is vital that production in Chile is conducted responsibly. That is why we are pleased to welcome Capstone Copper’s Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde operations in Chile to the Copper Mark.
