It’s said, “If it can’t be grown, it must be mined.” Many people are unaware of what it takes to mine and process the raw minerals that are essential in the products they use. It’s hard work, and today we celebrate and thank the Covia team members who are experts in responsible and safe mining practices. Their work is the starting point for innovation in materials science—and in the manufacture of countless valuable products. Please join us in recognizing their contributions!
At Covia, we are committed to being more than just a leading provider of high-performance mineral and material solutions – we believe that our company can make a positive difference in the world. This belief is what drives our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, which is influenced by both our journey as an organization and the events in the world around us.
Our commitment to operating as a responsible corporate citizen has been embedded into every aspect of our business for decades and serves as the foundation for Covia’s ESG initiatives. From our operations to our Team Members and the communities in which we live and work, we continue to define WHAT WE’RE MADE OF as more than the materials we produce, but the impact we can make in every interaction.
In 2021, we enhanced our approach toward accelerating ESG performance by developing our formal GOALS THAT INSPIRE: ESG 2030.
