Policies
The J Resources Management System has been developed and continues to evolve in a manner that
helps embed our vision for sustainable development into our daily Company operational activities. The
system is aligned with relevant ISO standards and where practicable also with the IFC Performance
Standards and the IFC EHS Guidelines. The management system enables variations between jurisdictions
to ensure compliance with local legal requirements in the countries where we work.
The system focuses on prioritizing Environmental Protection, the Health and Safety of our employees
and also that of the people living around our operations.
Maintaining the environment for the benefit of current and future generations, and ensuring a positive
legacy from J Resources activities for host communities is our passion.
Our policies and procedures support good business practice and we commit to meet, or if at all possible,
to exceed applicable laws and external requirements in the jurisdictions where we work.
