Resolution Copper Mining | A member of the Rio Tinto Group
Our Approach

Sustainable Development

Everything we do at Resolution Copper is driven by the principle of sustainable development, which takes into account social, environmental and economic considerations in all decision-making.

Sustainable development is defined as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Resolution Copper recognizes the importance of sustainable development within the mining industry. We seek to operate in a manner that provides social, economic and environmental value that is both solid and lasting. We also believe that adopting the principles of sustainable development in our business planning and execution helps us in obtaining the necessary social license to operate.

Our commitment to sustainable development requires that we demonstrate care and concern for the environment, that we be seen as a highest-quality employer and valued neighbor, and that we run our business in a way that is both ethical and profitable.
