Inco’s approach to Environment, Health and Safety is based on the fundamental principle that we accept responsibility and act responsibly. This principle guides us wherever we operate irrespective of the jurisdiction of each of our operations and the related environment, health and safety legislation. Read more about EHS Management.

Where we are involved in developing new operations, such as Voisey’s Bay, Canada and Goro, New Caledonia, we have identified best practices through environmental assessment processes and are designing these projects to have a minimum impact on the environment during the construction and operation phases. In our existing operations, where in some cases we have been operating for as long as a century, we are implementing measures to deal responsibly with legacy issues where they exist and are working to ensure that we can meet and surpass the standards that are expected of us in our day-to-day operations.

Most importantly, wherever we operate – or plan to operate – we consult with our communities. To learn more about the communities in which we operate, please visit our latest Good Neighbours Report on Health, Safety, Environment and Community .

We accept our responsibilities for the products that we process and have developed a strong product stewardship program. This program both provides our customers with detailed information regarding our products and the associated environmental, health and safety issues related to these products and also encourages significant recycling efforts for the metals that we produce.
