Summary 2014
Environmental protection
The extraction of copper ore and its processing by the metallurgical plants is inextricably linked to environmental impact in all its dimensions - both renewable and non-renewable. KGHM does not avoid its responsibility towards the environment, and systematically modernizes its installations designed to protect the environment.
Improving productivity
Efficiency improvement, the purpose of which is to reverse the trend of a rising unit cost of production, is the key area of KGHM’s business strategy. Since 2012 the Company has recorded an average annual cost decrease of approximately two per cent, while the desire to reduce production costs is still a huge challenge for KGHM.
Development of the resource base
KGHM understands the need to secure and increase its own resource base, both by carrying out exploration on sites to which the Company holds appropriate exploration concessions, as well as through expansion by making acquisitions of mining entities which have assets of economically attractive geological resources.
Support of the region
Good relations with our stakeholders, based on mutual understanding and trust, are of great importance to KGHM.
