Environmental and socio-economic effects of resource development are important considerations for Western Copper and Gold Corporation (TSX: WRN, NYSE American: WRN). Recently, Western Copper and Gold provided an update in order to fulfil their commitment to sustainability and adhere to the requirements of the Canadian Government.
The company has fulfilled all its Infrastructure Submissions by the provinces and territories and is now taking steps to ensure long-term environmental and socio-economic effects of their activities are taken into account for both current and future planning. Consequently, Western Copper and Gold Corporation has prepared a draft Environmental and Socio-Economic Effects Statement (ESES) in accordance with its commitments in the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act (YESAA).
The ESES is a comprehensive document announcing the company’s initiatives on environmental management, resource development, social and economic programs. The ESES outlines the process for assessing potential impact on the environment, and the potential positive and negative effects associated with the resource development project. Furthermore, the ESES highlights how the project will ensure safety and sustainability of economic, environmental and social aspects throughout the project’s life-cycle.
What’s more, ESES outlines the various measures that the company will take to protect and manage the environment in and around the area of development. This includes increasing rigorous monitoring of all environmental conditions, mitigating impacts from potential pollution, managing water resources responsibly, meeting or exceeding governmental requirements, and making sure the local Indigenous peoples’ cultures and rights are respected.
Western Copper and Gold Corporation has demonstrated its commitment to environmental and social responsibility both through its close communication with stakeholders and through its preparation of the ESES. With this commitment, the company will continue to bring new projects to life responsibly, ensuring that the environment, people and communities near which their project operates will benefit from the project in a safe and sustainable manner.
