Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2024) - GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSXV: GXU) (OTCQB: GVXXF) ("GoviEx" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the publication of its 2024 Sustainability Report, which covers the 12-month period ending June 30, 2024. The Sustainability report demonstrates GoviEx's commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") principles and highlights the progress made in advancing sustainability across its operations.
The report outlines specific developments in areas such as energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions, water management, and the Company's efforts in ensuring a diverse and inclusive workforce. The Company has placed a significant focus on aligning its operations with global sustainability standards, such as those outlined by the International Finance Corporation ("IFC"), aiming to ensure that its practices are in line with the expectations of future lenders, governments and other stakeholders ahead of the development of its Muntanga project in Zambia.
Daniel Major, CEO of GoviEx, commented:
"Our 2024 Sustainability Report reflects the progress we've made in embedding ESG principles into our operations. By aligning with internationally recognized guidelines such as those of the IFC, we are demonstrating our commitment to responsible and transparent practices. These efforts not only reflect our dedication to sustainability but also improve our ability to meet the expectations of stakeholders such as the communities around our Muntanga project and lending banks, which increasingly require robust ESG reporting and policies before committing to project financing."
With the completion of the Feasibility Study for Muntanga expected shortly, GoviEx is positioning itself for the next critical stage of its development. The Company plans to start construction once project financing is secured.
The Sustainability Report was prepared using Onyen Corporation's advanced ESG platform, which enables real-time performance comparisons and provides valuable data to stakeholders, rating agencies, and exchanges.
