environment

Canyon Coal is committed to reducing its impact on the environment. Therefore, we strive towards sustainable practices over and above our required legislative compliance. We are conducting our operations in the most environmentally conscious way to create the smallest footprint possible, which also extends to our commitment to the customers, staff and communities in which we operate.

Canyon employs a team of environmental specialists which form an integral part of our project team, responsible for developing mines and compliance on our current operations. We have an open communication pathway between environmental and mining personnel in order to not force impractical and impossible measures on our operations, but rather have a collaboration in order to get to the best practical solution which, when agreed upon, will be implemented.

All of our operations are fully licensed, each of them has an approved Environmental Management Programme as well as a Water Use License, which is audited annually, and forms an integral part in how we conduct our mining. Monitoring on all our sites is conducted by independent specialist and samples are analysed in SANS accredited laboratories. Our policies are developed in line with legislative requirements to minimise and mitigate our environmental impact.
