 Corporate Responsibility
Sustainable Development Charter
At Sovereign Metals Limited (“Sovereign”), we believe the success
of our business is underpinned by a strong commitment to all aspects of sustainable
development with an integrated approach to economic, social and environmental
management and effective corporate governance.
Health and Safety Policy
Sovereign believes that sound occupational
health and safety management practices are in the best interests of
its employees, its business, its shareholders, and the communities in which
it operates.
Sovereign is committed to achieving the highest performance in occupational
health and safety to create and maintain a safe and healthy environment at
the workplace.
We therefore seek to eliminate work-related incidents, illnesses and injuries
by identifying, assessing and, where reasonably practical, eliminating or
otherwise controlling hazards.
Environmental Policy
Sovereign regards caring for the environment as an integral part of our
business and is committed to operating in a responsible manner which minimises
our impact on the environment.
We therefore seek to ensure that, throughout all phases of our activities,
Sovereign personnel and contractors give proper consideration to the care
of flora, fauna, land, air, water and the community.
To fulfil this commitment, we will:
- Comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations;
- Implement and maintain effective environmental management systems;
- Integrate environmental factors into decision-making throughout project
life-cycles;
- Assess the potential environmental effects of our activities and manage
environmental risk;
- Regularly monitor, and strive to continually improve our environmental
performance;
- Rehabilitate the environment affected by our activities;
- Promote environmental awareness among our personnel and contractors to
increase understanding of their roles and responsibilities in relation
to environmental management; and
- Consult and communicate openly with host communities, governments and
other stakeholders.
