We recognise our role as a custodian of the environment and are committed to identifying opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint. We are committed to protecting and conserving land, water, biodiversity and energy sources and comply with Glencore’s environmental standards and polices and those of the DRC. 

We have implemented a comprehensive environmental monitoring programme which covers surface water, groundwater, dust, air quality and noise. This monitoring, along with assessments of our flora and fauna habitats, is carried out on a regular basis and at various locations in and around KCC's operations.
