The Vulcan Compass
The Vulcan Compass guides our sustainable decision making – binding our purpose, mission, strategy and values together.
The Vulcan Compass incorporates our 3 sustainability themes:
Quality of Life – improving the quality of life for people, land and sea
Balance – maximising shareholder returns without compromising the needs of future generations
Positive disruption – sustainable innovation and excellence in execution
Minviro Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Vulcan uses prospective life cycle assessments (LCA) as part of our geothermal lithium process development in oder to reduce environmental impacts of our process for making lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LiOH•H2O) before capital expenditures are incurred. This allows us to quantify our environmental impacts, understand drivers of our impacts, and make decisions about our supply chains an energy use to minimise those impacts.
