A holistic and systematic approach to sustainability risk management.
Sustainability lies at heart of the La Mancha investment philosophy, because we believe that sustainability performance is integral to the success of a mining operation.
To us, investing sustainably means continuous measurable improvement on matters like mitigating climate change, managing impacts and improving workplace experience and standards.
We take a responsible approach to sustainability risk management and disclosure to ensure risks are flagged and proactively managed. Our sustainability risk management systems aim to ensure portfolio companies:
Environment
Minimise impact through energy management and decarbonisation, processing optimisation, tailings management, and water management etc.
Social
Maximise impact through continuous improvement of operational health and safety, management and monitoring of human rights and conflict and improvements in diversity, equity & inclusion.
Governance
Improve performance through the adoption of industry leading sustainability standards, metrics and reporting, software driven sustainability risk management systems.
Our ambition is to be leading corporate citizens who enjoy strong support from the communities in which the Fund’s portfolio companies operate. We seek to ensure portfolio companies are committed to building and maintaining strong relationships and contributing to local communities in a transparent and sustainable way through the Fund’s board representation.
”Greenwashing is a problem. Having a systematic approach to sustainability evaluation allows us to filter out the greenwashing noise.
