ESG
At IMPACT, ESG has always been an integral part of our operations. Our mission is to ensure our Company respects and includes affected communities where we operate. For more than 17 years, we have been industry leaders when it comes to ESG.
Being one of the largest employers in the areas of Mexico in which we work - we have a responsibility to ensure that we leave communities in a better position than when we arrived. With over 500 years of mining history in the region, we are fortunate to partner with communities whereby several generations have been involved in mining activity.

AGAVE & CARBON OFFSET
Agave plants have the ability to reduce and isolate huge amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. These plants produce more biomass both above and below ground, compared to any other plant species and can absorb and store the dry weight equivalent of 30-60 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare, per year. They are ideal for arid and hot climates.
Once established, they do not require irrigation and are mostly immune to rising global temperatures and droughts. Following a pilot project across the Guadalupe mining district and tailings dams which began years ago, a total of 2,900 plants have now been planted, with a further 3,000 plants to be planted over the next two years.
TREE PLANTING / RE-FORESTATION
Using a ratio a ratio of 6.7 trees reforested for each tree felled, an aggressive reforestation campaign has begun to plant 3,000 trees of different species for areas disturbed by current mining activities.. A reforestation campaign initiated by the Company together with the municipal presidency, and the Technological Baccalaureate Center was started in 2021.Trees planted in 2021 6,146 with another 10,354 planned for 2022.
