Planet

Our business revolves around our ability to extract and utilize resources as sustainably as possible. Our strength is inherently tied to the environment. Fairmount Minerals makes environmental stewardship a fundamental element of the way we operate not only because it is critical to our prosperity, but because we haven’t inherited this earth — we’re borrowing it from our children.

Fairmount’s Sustainable Development Advisory Committee oversees a variety of volunteer-based teams that lead important projects involving land restoration, recycling, energy conservation, and water filtration, to name a few. Our approach to environmental responsibility is governed by a robust environmental management system aligned with the universal ISO 14001 standard. This system ensures Fairmount Minerals maintains or exceeds compliance with environmental standards and regulations. In 2010, we added three new facilities to our list of ISO 14001 certified locations and one additional location achieved compliance. We will register or achieve ISO 14001 compliance at all Fairmount Minerals facilities by 2014. Our ISO 14001 certified or compliant locations include:
