As a Filipino company committed to the highest standards of sustainable development we understand that, in order for our organization to be truly successful and a valuable partner with the communities in which we operate we must balance social, environmental and economic considerations in how we manage our business.

Sustainable development is at the core of our business strategy.

We comply in full with Philippine laws and regulations. In addition, we operate in accordance with Xstrata's Sustainable Development Framework and aspire to achieve the highest international standards. Xstrata is recognized as a leader in sustainable development and has been named mining sector leader in 2010/11 for the fourth consecutive year on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

We conduct regular internal and external audits of our business and operations to assure we comply with  Xstrata's Business Principles, Sustainable Development Policy and Standards.
