Sustainability is one of the main axes in most companies. Some have understood this and have already implemented actions in favor of the environment, however, there are many that still generate polluting agents that affect the entire world.
Different industries are concerned about having a better world, including the mining industry.
This is reflected in the recent decision France Mobile Number List of mining companies affiliated with the Mexican Mining Chamber (Camimex) who estimate to increase investment in environmental protection actions, with approximately . million dollars, equivalent to . billion pesos.
This figure represents % more compared to the investment in 0: in that year . million dollars (, million pesos) were invested in sustainability practices, care of biodiversity, protection of natural resources, efficient water management , reforestation programs, use of renewable energy sources, wildlife conservation, education and training.
In a statement, Camimex reported that in the matter of compliance with the law and self-regulation regarding ecological balance and environmental protection, mining companies invested resources and talent to participate in the clean industry program that promotes Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa).
Camimex also mentioned that five companies have distinguished themselves in environmental excellence, while three mining groups are part of the Green Index of the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV) and one in the FYSE For Good index, in London.
It should be noted that mining companies are obliged to comply with , laws, standards, ordinances and international treaties to which Mexico has signed up, in addition to the requirements and conditions that the federal environmental authority itself defines in the Environmental Impact Manifestos.
Investment of mining companies in Mexico
According to Fernando Alanís Ortega, who chairs Camimex, the low capital injection in 0 is due to the fact that mining companies made adjustments to their investment and not only in the environment, since in the face of a drop in the price of metals on a global scale it was necessary to adjust expenses.
"But an increase in investment for environmental issues is planned for this year."
Camimex detailed to El Financiero that mining companies invested considerable resources to participate in the clean industry program promoted by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (PROFEPA).
“All mining companies affiliated with Camimex have strict and rigorous security protocols, including Grupo México. The mining industry in Mexico registers an accident rate below that of most industrial sectors in the country. The authorities and the company are responsible for investigating, sizing and restoring, if applicable, the affected area.”
For his part, Luiz Camargo, country manager of Minera Cuzcatlán, said that the government must make it more possible for mining companies to invest in improving the environment.
"There is a lack of mechanisms that make this possible; in states like Oaxaca where land management with ejido lands is very present, it is difficult to make agreements." she said.
Low investment in security issues
For Camimex, safety and health at work was reduced, because 0. million dollars were injected in 0, which manifested itself in a reduction of 0.% compared to what was registered in 0 and the first drop in three years.
As a result of this, Francisco Quiroga, undersecretary of mining, urged the extractive industry to review its safety processes to avoid accidents like the one that occurred in Brazil, where there were deaths and 00 missing.
“We cannot have an incident like the one that occurred in Brazil, we must be clear about what the pits in open pit mines should be like or how tunnels in underground mines should be reinforced[…], we have the historic opportunity to be an agent of change, where mining generates safe jobs, provides infrastructure and generates well-being as a basis for peace and justice,” he added.
