Hecla Releases 2022 Sustainability Report

30.05.2023  |  Business Wire

Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) released its 2022 Sustainability Report today, highlighting the Company's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and 2023 sustainability targets. The theme of this year's report is Reclamation at Hecla: Past, Present, and Future.

"Our decades of commitment to the environment, communities where we operate and accessibility of our stakeholders have made Hecla a leader in ESG," said Hecla President and Chief Executive Officer Phillips S. Baker, Jr. "Our 2022 report demonstrates that our commitment continues and is even stronger. Examples of results in this year's report include our reclamation work at San Sebastian mine in Durango, Mexico, where we backfilled the pits and are returning the land to community agricultural use; being net zero for carbon emissions for the second straight year; and, most importantly, mining the silver the world needs for renewable energy production."

HIGHLIGHTS OF 2022 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

  • Climate Change: Achieved net zero on Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emissions for the second year in a row and reduced emissions by 32.7% from 2019 baseline levels.
  • Total Energy Intensity: Continued to reduce energy intensity through achieving an 18.5% reduction in energy intensity consumption compared to our 2019 levels.
  • Renewable Energy: 86% of the electricity used at Hecla's mines was line power with 72% generated by renewable sources.
  • Health and Safety: All-Injury Frequency Rate of 1.22, an 80% reduction since 2012.
  • Community Investment: Total economic impact of more than $833 million in our communities in 2022.

REPORTING FRAMEWORKS
