Lower Carbon Products
We are working to reduce GHG emissions across our operations and supply chain, enabling us to offer lower-carbon metals to our customers. Supported by a Life Cycle Assessment of our European zinc production, we are implementing measures such as energy efficiency improvements, upgraded logistics, renewable electricity use, water recycling, and increased use of recycled metals. These efforts span our operations in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands, allowing us to deliver two differentiated products to our customers: low-carbon zinc and recycled zinc.

Health & Safety
At Nyrstar we aim to provide a work environment where all hazards are effectively identified and controlled, and where each employee takes responsibility for their own safety and that of their colleagues.
Environment & Community
We operate our business in an environmentally responsible way. Our aim is to prevent harm to the environment and the community. We will build trust with our key stakeholders by meeting our commitments and maintaining open and honest communications.
Code of Business Conduct
At Nyrstar, we all share a common set of common values. These central, underlying philosophies guide our business, our operations and our employees, wherever they are based.
Risk Management
Risk is managed through Nyrstar’s enterprise risk management (ERM) framework which is aligned to the ISO 31000 risk management standard. The ERM framework specifies a common approach and process to the assessment, prioritization and control of risks across the Group.
