November 02 2021 - 8:00AM
Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX-V: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF)
(“Discovery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
produced its first Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)
report, setting out the Company’s current practices and priorities
going forward.
Taj Singh, President and CEO, states: “We are
excited to share our inaugural ESG report as part of Discovery’s
evolution. We believe that ESG management is a key component of
delivering long-term value and business resiliency. As we grow, we
want to manage ESG issues responsibly and transparently; this means
empowering our people to continuously evolve and innovate, maintain
an accountable and transparent health and safety culture, create
shared and mutually beneficial relationships with our local
communities, and minimize our impact on the environment. We
recognize that social and environmental stewardship combined with
ethical, transparent governance drives performance.”
“Silver has an important role to play in the
world’s clean energy future. This precious metal is gaining
attention as one of the most important “green” metals because of
its critical role across many green energy technologies.
Considering the status of our Cordero Project as one of the world’s
largest development-stage silver deposits globally, I’m excited
about the opportunity we have at Cordero to produce this critical
resource to support a more sustainable future.”
