Our Approach to Sustainability

Mining can coexist with the agricultural sector and it remains the cornerstone of our modern societies and economies. Despite advances in recycling technologies and increased awareness of the benefits of the “circular economy”, the demand for mined raw materials and commodities continues to surges higher due to its hardware applications in our modern world.

Simultaneously, the private sector is required to act responsibly and contribute more to the achievement of global and national government objectives and policies, particularly those focused on, socioeconomic development, human and institutional capacity development, human rights, and the management of global challenges like climate change.

Therefore, since the inception of the Company on day one, we have believed that it is incumbent on all of us in the industry to meet the demand for exploration responsibly, with the goal to ensures the communities in which we operate are left with an ability to sustain themselves long after the mines are closed and rehabilitated.

At PASB, the entire foundation of our company is build based on “Sustainability” which begins with the way we think, the way we behave, how do we operate as individuals and as a company. It is practically applied to the day-to-day activities of our organization.

Environment

Our Company’s obligations to environment safety are taken seriously by our management and we adhere and seek to comply with all environmental requirements and minimize the impact of our activities in the areas in which we operate. This is implemented by taking responsibility for and taking account to achieve a high standard of environmental performance and to integrate holistic environmental management principles into all aspects of our business.

By identifying and foreseeing environmental risks which may arise due to the company’s activities, our Company will take one step ahead by preparing for risk removal or minimization actions on a site-specific basis and implement programs to adequately rehabilitate disturbed areas, conserve resources, waste minimization, recycling and importantly is to avoid environmental harm to the ecosystem and the biodiversity.

Community

We understand and recognize the importance and roles of the communities in the area we operate. Therefore, our approach is to engage openly and collaboratively to ensure the Company’s activities are in line with the expectations and requirements of the local communities.

On the other hand, we endeavor to utilize local people and services where appropriate such as creating job opportunities for the local people and contractors related to our exploration activities.

Safety

Our people are the greatest asset for the company and are the central approach to our business. Hence, we always ensure and maintain a safe working environment for our employees and contractors. We continuously enhance and improve the safety of our working environment and foster a safety culture by carefully assessing the risk associated to eliminate any incidents.

We firmly believe for us to be successful we must promote safety as a key value and lead by example through our leadership with an open-minded approach so that incidents or near misses are fully reported, investigated with transparency, and corrective measures are taken. Some of our safety measurement includes safety training by professionals, risk assessment regularly, communication and emergency response protocols and full compliance with all legal requirement, and hazard reporting and identification.
