Community and human rights
We are committed to respecting human rights, and we seek to foster socio-economic resilient communities, where possible.
As a Nordenham company, we have been closely connected with our region for more than 115 years. Our commitment to local communities is very close to our hearts. That is why we would like to make it possible again in the near future to support local projects and institutions such as the Nordenhamer Tafel, the children’s and youth farm and sports and cultural clubs.
As a proud member of the Glencore Group, we follow the company’s internal “SafeWork” approach. The SafeWork initiative aims to change attitudes towards safety throughout the organisation. With SafeWork, we want to bring about lasting change and thereby prevent serious injuries and fatalities in the workplace. For more information on SafeWork, please visit global Glencore page (ENG).
Protecting the environment is important for Glencore Nordenham. For instance, we recycle used batteries and can therefore recover lead and other important raw materials. By recycling metals, we contribute to the circular economy, diverting materials from landfill and helping to reduce environmental impacts.
We regularly support the Nordenham Nature Conservation Association's tern project at Seenpark II and the Nordenham Nature Conservation Association. We have created compensation areas for our landfills that are monitored by the German Nature Conservation Union (NABU).
To fulfil our responsibilities towards our employees and the local community, we contribute to projects that aim to improve environmental protection on an ongoing basis.
