Jervois Mining Ltd. Environmental, Social and Governance Updates30.08.2020 | 18:08 Uhr | The Newswire
31 August 2020 - Jervois Mining Ltd. (the "Company" or "Jervois") (ASX:JRV) (TSXV:JRV) (OTC:JRVMF) recognises that our financial and environmental, social and governance ("ESG") performance are intrinsically linked. As our company evolves and grows, we have committed to continuous improvement including through the progressive integration of material ESG matters within our business and governance. Jervois has undertaken a review of its ESG regime and is working towards implementing new policies and standards to ensure Jervois continues to act as a responsible corporate citizen in the multiple jurisdictions in which it operates. An outcome of the review is the attached new Sustainability Policy which highlights our commitments to the environment, our employees, our communities and our investors. Integral to achieving the objectives of the Sustainability Policy, the Company is developing a Sustainability Standard that will be used internally at both the corporate and project level. The Standard will support tangible, measurable and continuous improvements in our sustainability performance while ensuring that we continue to proactively manage prevailing and emerging ESG risks and opportunities. Within the ESG review, the Company has additionally adopted a new Vision, Mission and Values statement to encapsulate who Jervois is, what we aim to achieve and how we will achieve it. Our vision is a world transformed by the mass adoption of electric vehicles. Our mission is to become a leading supplier of responsibly-sourced battery minerals products and to provide secure supply to customers. Three core values provide the foundation for how we operate, collaborate, engage and unite in our work.
Ultimately, we aim to make a positive, meaningful difference in the lives of our customers, our people, our investors, our partners and our stakeholders including local host communities and countries. Jervois is excited to be applying these policies at its 100% owned Idaho Cobalt Operations ("ICO"), where development of a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement served as the basis for current project approvals by United States regulators. At site over US$20 million has been invested on water treatment and environmental management systems, an amount that is unprecedented for a project of this relatively small scale and footprint, at this early stage of development. At ICO, Jervois will set a new standard of industry environmental stewardship. Jervois's ESG Committee will comprise the Executive General Management team and will be Co-Chaired by Bryce Crocker, Chief Executive Officer, and Dr Jennifer Hinton, whom will take on additional responsibilities as Head of ESG at Jervois, to complement her current role as Uganda Country Head. Dr Hinton has a Ph.D in Mining Engineering and is a former adviser to the United Nations and World Bank.

And commitment to foster a culture of sustainability in our employees, contractors, partners and communities.
