Mineração Sustentável – 2024
ABOUT IT
CBA's Sustainable Mining project is an initiative aimed at improvements such as the restoration and reforestation of the bauxite extraction zone located in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais. The project has a partnership with the Federal University of Viçosa-UFV in the lines of Research & Development of Environmental Rehabilitation Technology, Forest Restoration and Water Conservation, which promote the recovery of mined areas and the implementation of environmental compensation projects. With forest restoration, the Atlantic Forest cover is extended, forming ecological corridors and the extraction area is integrated into the natural landscape after reforestation. The project has the following certifications: Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI): Performance and Chain of Custody; ABNT/NBR ISO 14001:2015 (since 2001); ABNT/NBR ISO 17025:2017 (since 2019).
