Progress or peril?
We choose progress. We are passionately committed to the development of a future shaped by a sustainable global society. We recognize that climate change is largely caused by human activity and that it hinders this vision by negatively affecting natural ecosystems, economic returns, and community development.
“The ever-worsening effects of climate change have combined to leave the SDGs in peril.”
— SDG Progress Report (2024)
Addressing this complex global issue will necessitate the implementation of multiple concurrent strategies.
As entrepreneurs with a technical soul actively participating in the metals, energy, and infrastructure sectors, we are uniquely positioned—and feel obligated—to affect positive change on this issue as it is among the toughest challenges of our era.
We tackle the tough.
Acknowledgment
We honor and continuously learn from Indigenous Peoples around the world and respect their enduring connection and stewardship to land, waters, and culture.
Our relationship with Indigenous Peoples and communities is built on the values of honesty, respect, and transparency. Our ability to operate as an organization and provide reliable, innovative solutions is enhanced by our knowledge and evolving understanding of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, histories, cultures, protocols, values, aspirations, economies, and governments.
We respect the right of Indigenous Peoples to consultation and recognize their inherent rights to free, prior, and informed consent as a vital safeguard to their worldviews and collective well-being. Our approach to engagement and reconciliation is crucial in building strong and mutually beneficial relationships.
