The company has developed action plans to raise awareness of collectives and individuals in environmental protection. Plans call for construction of embankments and dams in the upstream area of the No. 5 Than Thung stream, minimizing the amount of soil and rock drifting to the downstream area. It also aims to restore the environment of waste dumps in sub-zone 37 covering a total area of 14ha, and to build two wastewater treatment stations in the office and Cau Sen apartment building to ensure that all wastewater is treated before being discharged into the local drainage system.
Waste collection, treatment
The company aims to ensure strict compliance with the regulations on waste collection and management. The company strives to collect and treat thoroughly all waste generated in production by 2030 and reuse at least 70 percent of mining wastewater by 2026, while restoring the environment of waste dumps in sub-zone 33 Than Thung covering a total area of 37ha.
Together with its Youth Union, the company annually strengthens information dissemination about environmental protection, contributing to raising awareness of employees and young workers. In addition, the company has encouraged employees to participate in a tree-planting campaign, contributing to greening the environment in production and surrounding areas.
The company has paid great attention to training and its quality, while improving qualifications and awareness of officials, party members and employees.
