Environmental initiatives

ERG construes sustainable development as a responsible management in the areas of environmental impact, health and safety, social development and corporate governance. ERG is committed to the efficient use of resources and to reducing any adverse environmental impact of the Group's production activities. The Group was one of the first in Kazakhstan to introduce formal environmental management systems in the production of ferroalloys, iron ore, alumina, aluminum and electricity.

By 2009 all manufacturing enterprises in the country had received international certificates of conformity. In addition, the Group was the first in Kazakhstan to adopt a Chemicals Policy aimed at reducing the impact of hazardous waste through the introduction of a chemical waste management system.

Among the measures already taken to reduce the Group's environmental impact the following stand out:

Investing in new technologies

Programs to minimize impacts on the landscape and biological diversity

Reduction of electricity and water consumption

Strict control over all emissions and their impact on surrounding areas

ERG supports the Sustainable Development Goals

We are working to meet the current needs of humanity without detriment to future generations.
