ESG

CTPL encourages our mining and energy clients to drive progress towards sustainability:

Increased Production

The transition to a more sustainable energy system requires a significant increase in the production of minerals and mined products creating opportunities for miners and companies involved in the production of clean energy technologies.

Access to Investment Capital

Many traditional energy producers and users are committed to the transition to greener technologies, but lack access to the financing to make this happen. Our regional network can provide financing for sustainability initiatives such as energy efficiency upgrades, renewable energy installations.

Best Practices

We work with suppliers to encourage them to move towards best practices in environmental and social sustainability, including improving resource efficiency, and managing social impacts.

Reporting & Transparency

We encourage our suppliers and customers to adopt transparent reporting practices and to hold themselves accountable to meeting their ESG goals.
