Sector Leading ESG Credentials for a Clean Energy Future
EcoGraf is committed to establishing strong sustainability foundations and credentials throughout its operations, supported by a robust governance system. We are contributing to the global transition toward a cleaner environment through our vertically integrated battery anode materials business which will produce high purity graphite products for the lithium-ion battery and advanced manufacturing markets.
Strong Foundations
We recognise that environmental and social risks exist in our role as a clean energy technology contributor and that we have a responsibility to identify, prevent and mitigate as far as is practicable, and to measure the risks of our operations to the environment and people. Through our risk assessment processes, we balance economic, environmental and social considerations so that resources are managed equitably and responsibly.
Integrity, respect and accountability underpin the Company’s commitment to sustainability. Demonstrating these principles throughout the Company’s operations from graphite extraction, processing, purification and recycling is essential for establishing and maintaining a license to operate.
EcoGraf is developing its projects and operations inline with International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards and Equator Principles.
Our Commitment
Environment
EcoGraf is committed to effective environmental stewardship throughout the life of mine and all operations. This is critical to support the Company’s license to operate. All facets of the Company’s activities, including graphite extraction, processing and purification facilities, as well as anode recycling, present risks to the environment, safety and human health and must be stringently managed.
Communities
EcoGraf will respect its host communities situated in all jurisdictions where it conducts its operations.
Human Rights
EcoGraf respects human rights and is committed to ensuring that its operations are conducted in accordance with the human rights principles outlined in the International Bill of Human Rights.
Health & Safety
EcoGraf is committed to ensuring the health and safety of its stakeholders. All individuals are entitled to a safe and healthy environment, whether working within or at the Company’s operations or residing in affected communities. The extractives industry is subject to safety risks, which the Company will strive to prevent by incorporating safety behaviours to underpin a strong safety culture. This will encompass the prevention and mitigation of community health and safety risks.
Corporate Social Responsibility
As part of Corporate Responsibility commitments EcoGraf is pleased to collaborate with Azurite Management & Consultancy in founding PreIWD, a not-for-profit organisation that hosts an annual black-tie event in Tanzania in the lead-up to International Women’s Day.
PreIWD aims to celebrate and empower Tanzanian women by recognising their achievements and supporting the expansion of opportunities. Proceeds from the event are directed toward meaningful impact: supporting women in mining and business, advancing capacity-building initiatives, and promoting financial literacy and access to economic opportunities for women across all sectors.
