Our commitment to sustainability means continuously improving how we measure and manage our greenhouse gas emissions. In 2023, we adopted a more comprehensive methodology to track scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 emissions, ensuring our reporting reflects the full picture of our environmental footprint. This shift allows us to better identify opportunities for reduction, align with global best practices, and drive meaningful change across our operations and value chain. Accurate data is the foundation of effective climate action, and we’re using it to build a more sustainable future.

World Sustainable Transport Day reminds us that the future of our cities depends on the choices we make today. To create livable, resilient communities, we need to rethink mobility, shifting from car-centric planning to active transportation like walking and cycling. This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about reducing emissions, improving health, and designing cities that put people first. Explore why this shift matters and how cities can make it happen:  https://lnkd.in/gu2P_pGz #WorldSustainableTransportDay #ActiveTransportation #UrbanMobility #Sustainability #Hatch 

Indigenous ownership is reshaping the future of clean energy.  As Canada accelerates its transition to renewables, Indigenous communities are leading the way by bringing equity, sustainability, and shared prosperity to the energy landscape. In their blog, Adeel Afzal M.Eng. P.Eng. PMP and Jeanie Chin highlight how collaborative models and inclusive partnerships are driving meaningful change. From co-ownership structures to long-term economic benefits, these approaches are setting a new standard for responsible development.

What makes platinum group metals essential to modern life? They’re the quiet enablers behind cleaner air, greener energy, and smarter technologies. From catalytic converters to hydrogen fuel cells, PGMs are at the core of innovations that power sustainability and performance, and Zimplats has emerged the leading producer in Zimbabwe. Scaling up to meet rising demand, Zimplats has tripled smelting capacity with a new 38-MW Hatch furnace at the Selous Metallurgical Complex. We delivered full EPCM services, enabling a leap from 135,000 to 380,000 tonnes of concentrate per year. The result? A future-ready facility that cuts CO₂ emissions by 300,000 tonnes annually and reduces fine particles by nearly 90%. Explore our role in delivering the expanded smelter, which now stands as a technological legacy powered primarily by solar and hydro energy, and representing the future of sustainable mining in Zimbabwe: https://lnkd.in/gJzsuGVS #HatchPerformanceInnovations #EngineeringExcellence #PartneringForProgress #PositiveChange

With the rise of digitization and systemization, data is more accessible than ever before and available in countless forms and formats. This enhanced accessibility provides exciting new opportunities to leverage data for smarter operations.   In this blog, Kerry Hill explores the importance of operational data and why teams must identify the critical information needed to improve process and asset performance from day one. Collaboration across the business is essential to delivering accurate reporting and meeting digital requirements. By aligning project planning with operational needs early, organizations can make more informed decisions and consistently deliver on their commitments.
