We Safeguard the Environment
We Protect Our Employees
We Partner with Our Communities
We Lead by Example
We Embrace InnovationWe promote a culture of innovation by driving and embracing technologies throughout our company. Our philosophy of developing long-life mines is helping to make Hecla a leader among companies our size in adopting new technologies that have a significant impact in improving the health and safety of our employees, improving environmental performance, and increasing mine-operating efficiency and productivity. In particular, we are looking to automate repetitive tasks and use remote control where feasible to get the miners “hands off the steel.”
Responsible Mining - Our Core Value
Hecla’s commitment to responsible mining is reflected in our core values of being a responsible, safe, and innovative company. We always strive to protect our people, reduce our environmental footprint, and support continuous improvement through technological innovations. We recognize that these efforts also enhance our bottom line, which helps bolster our sustainability efforts.
In our 2018 report, we detail our efforts in the areas of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and have increased our disclosure in these areas by benchmarking against the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics. Globally, we outline the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that most closely align with our business and where we as a company can help make a difference.
