Jim Mallory, MAG’s Chief Sustainability Officer,
stated: “Our second annual Sustainability Report reflects our
continued commitment to lasting and sustainable value to our
people, stakeholders, communities, and the planet. I am very proud
of the way our workforce approaches health, safety and wellness
associated with our workplace and environment. Safety performance
has improved over the last year at Juanicipio, and both Deer Trail
and Larder have embraced a ‘step back and assess’ culture to
understand and appropriately address any risks. These behaviours
are at the core of our values and are critical to the success of
our teams and our business. MAG Silver’s commitment to
sustainability begins with leadership and is manifested through the
tenacity of everyone in the Company.”
“On behalf of MAG Silver, I would like to extend
my sincere appreciation to all project team personnel at Fresnillo
and Juanicipio, and at our Deer Trail and Larder projects for their
kind assistance in the development of this report,” said George
Paspalas, MAG’s President and CEO.
