environmental stewardship
Environmental stewardship is a cornerstone of Hecla’s corporate culture. Our employees are committed to responsible mining practices that protect and enhance air and water quality and biodiversity. Hecla will continue to be a leader in environmental practices by implementing appropriate energy conservation and waste reduction programs.
Hecla believes that natural resource extraction can be done in a manner that protects the environment and meets applicable federal and state regulations. It’s a commitment that begins with the first exploration drill hole and continues through final site closure.
It's responsible mining.
