Climate Change: Risks and Opportunities in Silver Mining
Climate change presents both risks and strategic opportunities for the silver mining industry. The risks related to extreme climate conditions such as torrential rains or fires are indeed present in our operations and we are taking steps to mitigate them. Regulatory pressures are constantly evolving and can potentially represent additional financial costs for our operations. Alongside all that, we recognize the role that silver plays in enabling the global low-carbon transition. In addition to silvers’ use as a store for wealth and other industrial purposes, silver is considered critical for a cleaner, greener future, as it has become an essential metal needed to support solar panels, battery cell-based electric vehicles and other environmental innovations that underpin a more sustainable economy.
