2026 marks a first for Eramet: the launch of the Group’s first-ever “Environmental Week,” centered on the theme of biodiversity, which is omnipresent across our mining and metallurgical sites. This is why Eramet has made it a priority in its CSR roadmap, Act for Positive Mining<\/a>, aiming for a net positive impact on biodiversity by 2035.<\/p>\n

Modeled after the World Health and Safety Day that brings our employees together every year in April, this event was designed as a unifying moment for education and engagement among teams.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Biodiversity, an obvious choice<\/h2>\n

Eramet’s activity depends directly on the Earth’s mineral resources and is deeply connected to the natural environments in which we operate.<\/p>\n

As a responsible mining company, Eramet is committed to understanding, managing, minimizing, and, where necessary, offsetting its environmental impacts. Taking care of the environment and biodiversity is neither a trend nor a gadget: it is an integral part of our operations and our collective responsibility.<\/p>\n

Finally, Eramet’s environmental performance is a marker of our operational excellence. Caring about biodiversity, the safety of our teams, the well-being of our communities, or the company’s financial performance reflects the same mindset: the same high standards, the same drive to continuously improve. It is this culture of continuous improvement that enables us to remain successful over time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Mobilization across the entire Group<\/h2>\n

Throughout the Group, this week was marked by a rich program of conferences, awareness-raising actions, and discoveries of the biodiversity near our sites.<\/p>\n

In Gabon, the 5th edition of Biodiversity Day<\/strong> was held, organized by Eramet, Comilog, and the L\u00e9k\u00e9di Biodiversity Foundation around the theme “Biodiversity, a driver of growth in Gabon<\/em>.” This edition brought together nearly a hundred participants, including local authorities, scientists, technical partners, and environmental experts. Eric Willaume, Director of the Foundation and the L\u00e9k\u00e9di Park, recalled the importance of the partnership between industry and biodiversity, noting:<\/p>\n

\n

“The living world is not a backdrop: it is a high-tech factory, and also a library of solutions for our future. If the living world stops, our industries stop too<\/em>.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In Norway, Eramet Norway’s sites in Sauda, Kvinesdal, and Porsgrunn used this week to unveil years of data on the state of the fjords.<\/strong> The result? A progressive, measurable, and well-documented improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Two internal contests, biodiversity as the grand winner!<\/h2>\n

To involve its teams and their loved ones in this biodiversity week, the Group launched two contests.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • BioArt<\/strong>, a drawing contest themed around biodiversity, open to our employees’ children aged 3 to 18. Over 200 drawings were received, from which Eramet’s Executive Committee members selected five Grand Prize winners.<\/li>\n
  • A biodiversity initiatives contest<\/strong>, where several projects were rewarded, notably the creation of a green space to encourage insect pollination at the Eramet Marietta site in the United States, and the optimization of our wastewater treatment process at the Kvinesdal site in Norway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>

    This first Eramet Environment Week demonstrated a strong commitment from employees: wherever the Group operates, its teams are dedicated to the environment with structure, conviction, and concrete results.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":58384,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,44],"tags":[688,352,329],"class_list":["post-58394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-csr","category-group","tag-act-for-positive-mining-en","tag-biodiversity","tag-environment","nature-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEramet Environment Week: our employees commit to biodiversity -
