At SQM Litio, we have a strong commitment to sustainable development, conducting our operations in harmony with the environment and seeking to sustainably use resources…
At SQM Litio, we operate our production processes under strict national and international standards. For this reason, one of the most important actions of our operation is measuring the impact of lithium production on both the environment and communities and operating areas. This is called Life Cycle Analysis, a management tool that allows us to define levels of CO2, energy, and water consumption.
In our Sustainability Report, we reaffirm our full and unwavering commitment to sustainability. This is an important exercise in transparency and management that we have been carrying out since 2010, and that helps us connect with our stakeholders, following the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative for its preparation and external verification. Learn all the information about the frequency indexes (FI), severity index, operational risk index and more.
In the Environmental Impact Study of the project “Changes and Improvements in the Mining Operation in the Salar de Atacama”, one of the commitments established in the Environmental Qualification Resolution (RCA) corresponds to the implementation of an Environmental Monitoring Plan, which aims to assess the state of the Salar de Atacama systems over time
The Salar de Atacama, as it is known today, was formed over several thousand years by a continuous process of natural evaporation. The saline brine, a highly concentrated saline solution in the subsoil, was also created by this natural process called the hydrological cycle.
Committed to sustainability and efficient management of resources in the Salar de Atacama, we have the website “SQM en Línea”; whose environmental monitoring system allows us to report daily on the extraction of industrial water, brine and background information of interest in environmental matters. An act of transparency that works as a means of verification for authorities, the community and interested parties.
At SQM Litio, our commitment to sustainability is integral and unwavering, and it applies care and respect for people, the environment, and communities to all our work. As a company, we are firmly committed to sustainable development, conducting our operations in harmony with the environment and promoting the responsible and sustainable use of resources.
