To Horizonte employees, sustainability means that we minimise harm to the environment by planning, operating and closing our projects in an environmentally responsible manner. Our approach is based on the robust identification, assessment and control of risks across all phases of the Project and work in partnership with environmental authorities and local community groups.
Horizonte understands the need to take care of the planet’s precious resources. That is why our Araguaia Nickel Project is planning to recycle around 90% of its water consumption.
We are committed to protecting the soil, air, water and biodiversity in the areas where we undertake exploration and where we plan to build the future Araguaia mine. For this reason, we have undertaken complete baseline environmental studies on all of these areas, and continue to monitor the environment before construction commences. Robust environmental control plans for the future Araguaia project were developed by Environmental Resources Management (ERM) in 2017, drawing from results of data collection and impact assessments previously undertaken.
