Commitment to ESG
Nordic Resources is committed to uncovering and developing sustainable gold projects alongside ethically sourced, low carbon battery minerals based on best practice Environmental, Social and Governance principles.
Nordic Resources’ ESG Framework can be found here https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/NNL/02581620.pdf
Nordic Resources’ initial ESG approach is centred on:
Environmental
- Finland has strong rule of law and a robust environmental regime; ideal jurisdiction for ensuring upstream sustainability and downstream traceability.
- Regular meetings held with the Lapland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY) regarding Pulju.
Social
- Both directly and through its partners in Finland, NNL has held preliminary meetings with stakeholders to ensure early and active community and stakeholder engagement.
- Local Level: Meetings held with the local reindeer herding communities, the Lapland ELY Centre and the local municipalities where we operate.
- National Level: Meetings held with the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (TUKES), Forestry Department (Metsähallitus, the owners of the land at Pulju).
Governance
- Finland’s clear permitting regime is built around strong governance.
- ESG framework is an organic operating policy that will be updated with circumstances for each project to allow for transparent and comprehensive reporting.
