The work is largely carried out through Group-wide networks to facilitate the dissemination of Boliden's goals and strategies, as well as to exchange expertise and experience between the Business Areas and production units. There are Group councils for occupational health and safety, environment, quality/management system, human resources and the compliance council, and committees for climate and for public affairs. The chairs of the respective councils and committees report to the Group Management. [...] The Boliden Board of Directors reviews the Group's sustainability performance data annually.

The Group actively follows developments in the field of sustainability, and ensures the best conditions for the mining and smelting industry by disseminating knowledge about the need for base metals. For example, we have been successful in promoting an awareness that copper and nickel are necessary for the green transition and that we must be allowed to pursue mining in Natura 2000 areas. Advocacy programs are pursued mainly through the European stakeholder organizations Eurometaux and Euromines, and with the help of Svemin. The Board is kept informed on an ongoing basis about relevant national and international initiatives that may affect us in the field of sustainability.
