Contributing to a more prosperous future
Precious metals are part of the solution to pressing global challenges. We strive to mine resources in a way that supports lives and livelihoods long into the future.
Our Responsibility
We have put responsibility at the core of our business. We protect our employees. We support local communities and we minimise our environmental impact. Our success depends on it – today and tomorrow.
Group Safety
A key risk for the Group is safety. There is nothing more important as human life. Our core processes and training programmes are a fundamental part of safety management.
Community Relations
We view our communities as strategic partners and recognise that building trust is essential to earning and maintaining our social license to operate. Strong community relations are built on deep understanding of local needs and values.
Environment
The Group's environmental management systems extend from the exploration phase, to mine development and operation, to closure and restoration.
Ethics & Performance
Ethisphere announces Fresnillo plc as one of the world's most ethical companies. Recognition honors companies demonstrating exceptional leadership and a commitment to business integrity through best-in-class practices.
Our Priorities
As a company, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards and believe that our actions and behaviour should always reflect our corporate values: Confidence, Responsibility and Respect, Integrity, and Loyalty (CRIL). We expect not only our workforce, but also all related third parties, to consistently embody and adhere to them. To further promote ethical decision-making and align our behaviour with our overall strategy, since 2013 we began a journey to embed ethics into our organisational culture, implementing a framework known as ‘Step-Up’ culture: in the first phase (2013 2016), our objective was the reduction of behavioural risk – the gap between intended, expressed and actual behaviours. The second phase (2016-present) has focused on raising awareness and developing the ethical decision-making competencies of our people.
Our affiliation with the Centre for Leadership Ethics of the University of Arizona enables us to support programmes such as the International Collegiate Ethics Case Competition, which challenges future leaders to consider ethical decision-making. This competition is participated in by universities across the United States, Mexico, Canada and Europe. Additionally, we are also members of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) and were among the founders of its Mexican Chapter.

Group policy is to put the life of our personnel above all else. We have zero tolerance rules that absolutely prohibit any deviation from the Group's safety rules and procedures.
Environment
Our objective is to limit the environmental impact of our operations throughout their lifecycle, minimising the use of non-renewable resources and investing in conservation.
