Drummond Ltd. confirms its commitment to the environment by planting trees
April 29, 2022

Drummond Ltd. continues to demonstrate its intention to have a positive impact on the environment through different actions to conserve and take care of it. Planting trees is one of them.
To better do this, the company has a forest species nursery located at its Pribbenow mine in Cesar. There it germinates the seeds of native timber and fruit trees, to assist with the work to revegetate areas affected by the mining operation. It has the capacity to produce 600,000 seedlings.
During 2021, Drummond produced 144,712 trees, of which 74,574 were planted in 144 hectares intervened by the operation. Another 28,058 were donated to communities in the company’s area of influence in Cesar, and 6,739 were given to employees.
“The company’s nursery is one of the few in the region that propagate the native species of a Tropical Dry Forest. We then plant them in areas intervened by the operation or we donate them to our communities,” commented Armando Calvano, Biodiversity and Environmental Compensation Manager at Drummond Ltd.
