Strickland Metals MD on ESG goals after Digbee assessment

Proactive - Interviews for investors

Digbee Limited founder and CEO Jamie Strauss and Strickland Metals Ltd (ASX:STK) managing director Paul L’Herpiniere talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the benefits of an independent ESG assessment for Strickland Metals. L’Herpiniere explained how Digbee's ESG evaluation provided valuable insights for improving internal and external practices. He noted that the assessment helped Strickland allocate resources more effectively, including hiring a new community relations manager and expanding stakeholder engagement in Serbia. Additionally, the company plans to ramp up environmental studies, particularly at Mount Rogozna in Serbia and in Western Australia, to address biodiversity concerns. Strauss emphasised that ESG assessments serve as a risk management tool for mining companies, helping them differentiate themselves to investors and other stakeholders. He highlighted the potential for better permitting, lower costs of capital, and improved project timelines when ESG practices are embedded in company culture.
