The company applies a strict policy of legal compliance and complete transparency towards the authorities and stakeholders. The company has invited government agencies, financial institutions, media and local villagers to visit its facilities. Consequently, the overall impression of our activities in people’s minds has greatly improved.

The company also aims to develop best-practice management systems adapted to mining and smelting. The management has focused on consolidation of environmental management and has submitted all sites to an independent compliance audit.

In 2007, Padaeng continued to make progress in improving the health and safety performance on all sites. You will find a detailed table in the 2007 annual report.
