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.
