ENVIRONMENT
Eight environmental management fronts
Actions are defined according to the characteristics of each undertaking and the requirements of its licensing process.
The fronts
Restoration of degraded land
Restore the areas altered by the activity, under a plan defined from the permitting of each undertaking.
Preservation areas, watercourses and springs
Protect the permanent preservation areas, watercourses and springs within each project's area.
Legal reserve
Manage the legal reserve of the properties where projects are developed, in accordance with the Forest Code.
Environmental and forest offsets
Offset the impacts that cannot be avoided, on the terms defined by the licensing process.
Fauna and flora monitoring
Monitor fauna and flora in the areas of influence, in accordance with each undertaking's environmental studies.
Water resources
Plan and monitor water use, with the control measures set out in each process.
Erosion, sediment and waste
Control erosion processes, sediment transport, waste and the other impacts of mining activity.
Communication and relationships
Maintain communication and dialogue with landowners, communities and groups potentially affected by the projects.
Environmental management in summary
Put simply: track impacts from the planning stage, adopt measures to avoid or reduce them, and restore or offset whatever is actually affected.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The rules that frame the operation
Each item describes what the rule establishes. There is no legal interpretation here, and no judgement of compliance.
