Sustainability
Environmental, Social & Governance Framework
Our approach to sustainability is guided by long-term responsibility to the communities and environments where we operate. Viventa operates according to recognized international standards for responsible mineral supply chains, with ESG practices that integrate regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement, and measurable outcomes.

Our environmental commitments apply to both projects we develop and supply chains we are engaged in.
At Project Sites
- Environmental and social impact assessments before development
