At SQM, Sustainability is one of our corporate values. We are engaged in several alliances and certifications which demonstrate our commitment to comply with ESG standards.
Dow Jones Sustainability Index
In 2023 SQM was accepted in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World and Emerging Markets indices. The Dow Jones Index reflects our efforts to promote sustainability through the annual publication of our Sustainability Report, prepared under the principles of the Global Reporting Initiative and verified externally.
Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA)
In September 2023, our Salar de Atacama lithium mining operations achieved IRMA 75, being the only lithium company to achieve this level worldwide. IRMA is an international standard that measures the social and environmental performance in mining sites worldwide, which due to its rigor is consulted by a wide range of interest groups.
CARBON DISCLOSURE PROJECT (CDP)
In 2023, we were assessed in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) where we received a B-category climate change rating, which is above the global average (C category) and in line with the global chemical industry average (B-category). We also completed the CDP assessment for water in which we achieved a B- category, which is higher than the global average and the chemical industry average (category C).
