Mexican cartels are operating with impunity around Ternium and ArcelorMittal mine sites, according to a shocking new The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project report, that details forced disappearances of community activists and other human rights abuses of people standing up in opposition to ArcelorMittal and Ternium mines. Antonio Diaz and his lawyer vanished after leaving a community meeting. These activists were taking a stand against a mine that local community members claimed devastated their environment. Ternium and ArcelorMittal have firmly rejected any direct or indirect association with or responsibility for the perpetrators of violence. But both are facing serious questions about how such human rights abuses continue to happen around their facilities. Intimidation or use of violence against activists fighting for Indigenous rights and environmental justice must not be tolerated. We expect steel companies to investigate the shocking details outlined by OCCRP and stand up firmly for the rights of environmental defenders.

To paraphrase Mark Bristow from the leadership roundtable at MINExpo INTERNATIONAL -- 'We can't grow to meet demand by M&A, that is just rearranging the deck chairs. We need exploration and new mines to meet the rising demand for critical metals and minerals' The exponentially growing green markets - EV, solar, electrification - are hungry for lithium, copper, rare earths, etc. We are going to need a lot more of these materials to come out of the ground to meet any of the world's goals on emissions. And in every case, there will be compelling reasons not to have a mine in a particular location. If you want to explore the tension between these competing critical objectives, I'd highly recommend _The War Below_. Have you read it?

🌐 Our report, “The Real Cost of Steel”, sets out general recommendations for ArcelorMittal and Ternium,  governments and investors. We call on them to: 🛡️Respect indigenous rights: prioritise the well-being of affected communities over profit margins and ensure free, prior and informed consent and fair access to shared benefits. 💼 Strengthen corporate accountability: take immediate action to address the environmental and human rights abuses outlined in the report. 🔍 Strong regulatory and oversight mechanisms: advocate for binding international regulations and robust due diligence processes to prevent future abuses. ⚖️ Zero-tolerance policy: stop attacks on environmental and human rights defenders and use all your influence to contribute to humanitarian recovery of those still missing. #FairSteel #CorporateAccountability #IndigenousRights #CorporateResponsibility #HumanRights #DueDiligence #DefendersSafety #EnvironmentalJustice #SteelIndustry

We are proud to announce our full support for the implementation of the ‘green nickel’ pricing by the London Metal Exchange (LME), to set a green premium for cleaner nickel that prioritizes our planet’s health. The current state of unhealthy supply growth in the nickel sector calls for collective actions of sector players on ‘green nickel’, to emphasize the urgent need for environmentally responsible production, reducing carbon emissions, and minimizing negative impacts on our environment. We stand firmly behind this initiative, which is also integral to our nickel production operations at NewCo Ferronikeli in Kosovo and EURONICKEL Industries in North Macedonia, as we are keen on implementing these principles for our ongoing and future projects to ensure a sustainable and greener future. #YILDIRIMGroup #GreenNickel #SustainableMining #Sustainability

We are delighted to share the renewal of our supply contracts with Air Liquide to bolster our industrial partnership. Air Liquide will invest approximately 100 million euros to enhance our capabilities in Bulgaria and Germany, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable industrial development in Europe. 🇧🇬 At Aurubis Bulgaria, a state-of-the-art Air Separation Unit (ASU) will replace older facilities, boosting the production of oxygen, nitrogen, and argon essential for our operations. ⚡Scheduled for completion in 2027, this new ASU is designed to reduce electricity consumption by 7% and will partly operate on renewable energy, potentially saving up to 100 kt CO₂ annually. 🇩🇪 In Germany, Air Liquide will modernize the four existing ASUs at Aurubis sites by 2027. These units are crucial for supplying industrial gases to Aurubis' copper production and supporting regional markets. At Aurubis, sustainability is at the core of our business, and partnerships like these with Air Liquide are pivotal as we advance towards climate neutrality and embrace the challenges of a renewable energy future. #Aurubis #MetalsforProgress #TomorrowMetals #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #Decarbonization

💡 Talks went further this morning with the participation of Member of the European Parliament Anna Michelle Asimakopoulou, European Commission Director General INTPA Koen DOENS, CEO LKAB and Euromines President Jan Mostrom, Rio Tinto Chief Executive Minerals Sinead Kaufman and EIT RawMaterials CEO and Managing Director Bernd Schäfer. Their focal point is grounded on #Cohesion and #Partnerships. 🔵 MEP Asimakopolou rethought the acronym #CRMA as Coherence, #Relationships, Money and #Ambassadors (mandatory to involve the communities will be part of the implementation process). 🔵 Director General Doens pointed on the #strategic priority to sign partnerships with #rawmaterials producing countries, focusing on the benefits that #Europe will bring there. 🔵 Mr Mostrom: being responsible, having access to finance, and balancing public acceptance with non-public interests are the milestones for the #CRMA implementation path. 🔵 On the same page Mrs Kaufmann, who talked about the vital agreement that Rio Tinto signed in Argentina. 🔎 We at EUMICON strongly believe that #Coherence, #Cohesion, #Partnerships can shape a more #sustainable world, in which all communities involved in the raw materials value chain will cooperate for a more efficient, more conscientious and #greener future. 🍀
