Reporting Principles
ENRC has committed to improving sustainability performance over the long term.
We already operate to the standards consistent with best practice in Kazakhstan and as we develop our international presence, we strive to achieve best practice international standards across all of our operations, including safety, health and environment.
In order to thoroughly monitor our performance in this area, we are improving our reporting standards. Steps are being taken to improve the transparency of environmental disclosures in order to develop quantitative targets for environmental performance.
The Group reports sustainable development performance in compliance with local legislation and international best practice. In 2009, we continued to develop a transparent reporting system based on the Global Reporting Initiative (‘GRI’) Metals and Mining Supplement and the International Council on Metals & Mining (‘ICMM’) Sustainable Development Framework, and internal reporting in compliance with GRI environmental indicators expanded by 60%.
We plan to issue sustainable development reporting which adopts GRI indicators and is subject to external assurance in 2011.
