Aris Gold anuncia la publicación de su primer Informe de Sostenibilidad que destaca el avance, las iniciativas y compromiso en las áreas de gestión de salud, seguridad, ambiente, sociedad y gobierno en el año calendario 2020. El informe es el primer informe anual que publica Aris Gold sobre el enfoque y desempeño de la Compañía en una variedad de temas de ambiente, sociedad y gobierno (ASG) significativos y sobre la adopción de una estrategia de gobernanza ASG nueva, así como los planes y prioridades de la Compañía para el 2021 y más allá.

Aris Gold's 2020 Sustainability Report is guided by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Metals & Mining Sustainability Accounting Standard. The Company will look to fully align sustainability metrics with SASB in future reporting years. It also demonstrates how Aris Gold's approach aligns to select UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Aris Gold CEO Neil Woodyer stated: "We are very pleased to release our inaugural sustainability report. Although much of the information in this report covers our performance for the 2020 calendar year, we underwent a transformation in 2021, renaming the Company from Caldas Gold to Aris Gold, appointing a new Board of Directors and management team, establishing a growth strategy, and introducing new or updated ESG strategies and commitments. The report provides an opportunity to share how we plan to translate these changes into meaningful value for all stakeholders, including our workforce and community partners."
