Due Dilligence procedure

From the very outset, we adopted a participatory approach, using accessible language, to ensure that our strategic priorities are fully aligned with stakeholder expectations. This commitment allows our sustainability initiatives to address shared challenges while seizing opportunities for collective progress.

At the heart of this effort lies Human Rights Due Diligence, a vital process for identifying, preventing, mitigating, and remedying the potential impacts of our operations on people, both inside and outside the company. Continuous risk assessments tied to mining activities safeguard the rights of workers, local communities, and all stakeholders.

Through impact assessments, community consultations, and corrective action plans, we uphold the highest international human rights standards, including:

Eliminating work-related discrimination

Ensuring health and safety at work

Promoting fair working conditions (wages, working hours)

Protecting women’s rights

Respecting the rights of Indigenous peoples

This rigorous framework reinforces our responsibility to operate ethically and sustainably, placing human rights at the core of our mission.

Eramet’s Commitment to Human Rights

Respect for human rights is at the heart of the Eramet group’s commitments, with the ambition to be a benchmark in the mining industry.

Eramet’s Human Rights Policy formalizes this commitment and affirms its fundamental place in the Group’s managerial and operational approach and in its relations with stakeholders.

It complements the Group’s other policies and applies to all employees, business partners and local communities.

As a complement and as part of its culture of transparency, Eramet published its first Human Rights report in 2023. It provides a transparent response to stakeholders’ questions about the integration of these fundamental rights into its organization and activities.
