Hecla prioritizes sustainability excellence in the areas of environmental, social, and governance. We are:

• Committed to environmentally responsible mining by respecting the lands we work on through minimizing ecological impact, promoting biodiversity, and responsibly managing resources.
• Building strong relationships with local communities, building trust through respect, transparency, stakeholder and rightsholder engagement & involvement, job creation, and supporting community-driven programs.
• Ensuring responsible environmental stewardship by minimizing impacts, complying with or exceeding regulations, and reclaiming land with local input for productive post-mining uses.
• Operating with the principle that a safe mine is a productive mine – ensuring every shift ends with everyone home safely.
• Promoting an ownership culture of respect for social license.
