TORONTO, July 20, 2020 /CNW/ - Largo Resources Ltd.
("Largo" or the "Company") (TSX: LGO) (OTCQX: LGORF)
is pleased to announce the release of its 2019 sustainability
report, highlighted by new performance metrics and reporting
standards.
Paulo Misk, President and Chief Executive Officer
stated: "Largo's second annual report on sustainability
performance marks another significant milestone in achieving
our objective of becoming an industry leader in responsible
mining practices. In 2019, we increased our diligence in measuring
ourselves against rigorous international standards by engaging
EcoVadis, a third-party corporate social responsibility auditor,
and by making material progress toward ISO certification. In
addition, our 2019 sustainability report is now guided, in part, by
SASB, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. This approach
to sustainability reporting sets a new standard for open and
transparent communication and we plan to continually improve our
disclosures in the years to come."
He continued: "Vanadium is a critical 'green metal' used in
the world's transition to a low carbon future. Our high
environmental standards combined with the Company's low-impact
operations remain key in producing our VPURE™ and VPURE+™ products,
which are a component in lighter, stronger steel and aluminum
alloys, as well as in grid-level energy storage with vanadium redox
flow batteries." He concluded: "Looking to the future, we at
Largo will strive to maintain our status as the industry preferred
producer and supplier of vanadium, with high standards of
transparency in all aspects of our business. We look forward to
achieving the goals we have set out for 2020, and we will continue
to ensure sustainability remains at the heart of what we do best:
producing a majority of the world's highest-grade vanadium,
responsibly."
