RESPONSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE CORE TO THE BUSINESS STRATEGY OF THE GROUP AND INTEGRATED INTO EVERY ASPECT OF THE OPERATION

Environmental Case Studies

Water Treatment Plant, Fresnillo
The 150 litres/second facility started operations in February 2011 and is treating more than 35% of the city's sewage for reuse in the mine's processes.

Climate Change, Carbon Disclosure Project
We participated in the Carbon Disclosure Project for the first time in 2010, a non-profit organisation that promotes climate change reporting for risk assessment and mitigation efforts. We endorsed the Cancun Communiqué at the COP 16 seeking action by governments globally on climate change.

Biodiversity Conservation, The Coporate Commitment on Wilderness
We are a founding member of The Corporate Commitment on Wilderness, a conservation partnership between the Mexican private sector and The Wild Foundation. Our three main projects are the Sustainable Forest at Ciénega, which now covers close to 500 hectares of reforested land; the Sustainable Complex at Fresnillo, an animal care facility and ecological park that welcomed 35,665 visitors in 2010; and the Sonoran Pronghorn Conservation Programme at Herradura, designed to protect and monitor pronghorn populations. We participated in a project with the Comisión Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas (CONANP, Mexican public entity that supports land conservation) to issue a catalogue of photos about the Mexican species under threat of extinction.
