Climate Change
Centerra’s approach to climate change is based on a simple idea: reducing energy use and lowering GHG emissions are beneficial to the environment and good for our business. We recognize that climate change is one of the most pressing concerns for communities, regulators, and investors and that both physical and transitional climate risks have the potential to impact our operations. Our Climate and Nature Strategy is organized into five main pillars with the following components: Governance, Climate Mitigation, Climate Adaptation, Nature, and Disclosure & Engagement.
Over the life of a mine, Centerra implements a number of initiatives and allocates capital to reduce its energy consumption, carbon footprint and exposure to the physical impacts of climate change (including those regarding water availability). Our approach has been to build out our climate change strategy in stages, incorporating the appropriate level of engagement with our internal and external stakeholders and make measurable progress each year to meet evolving expectations.
