FLSmidth joins the Copper Mark framework
FLSmidth has joined the Copper Mark as a Partner to support the industry's efforts to promote responsible production practices while contributing towards to the United Nations SDGs (Sustainability Goals).
As a premium global provider of equipment, technology and knowledge to the mining industry, FLSmidth plays a key role in enabling and supporting best practices in the responsible production of copper. FLSmidth actively supports improvements in environmental, social and governance outcomes in all aspects of the copper value chain. As both an enabler of sustainable mining and a company which sources copper for our products, joining the Copper Mark is a natural step.
