Our Responsibility

At Lewis & Co Mining Corporation, we recognize that our role in the mining industry extends beyond the extraction of valuable resources. As a company with a long-standing heritage, operating since the 1980s in the rich Ruby Land of Myanmar (Burma), we are acutely aware of our responsibilities to our stakeholders, the environment, and the communities we serve. Our commitment is to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.

Our business practices adhere to strict ethical guidelines that ensure fairness, respect, and integrity in every aspect of our operations. We continually strive to create an environment where ethical behavior is recognized and rewarded.

  • Environmental Stewardship

    Mining, by its very nature, has a significant impact on the environment. At Lewis & Co Mining Corporation, we are deeply committed to minimizing our environmental footprint and ensuring sustainable mining practices. Our operations in the Ruby Land of Myanmar are guided by a comprehensive environmental management plan that includes:

  • Rehabilitation and Restoration

    We take responsibility for the land we use. Our goal is to restore mining sites to their natural state or repurpose them for community use after mining operations are completed.

  • Water and Energy Conservation

    Efficient use of water and energy is a priority. We have implemented measures to reduce water usage and enhance energy efficiency in our mining processes, ensuring that natural resources are conserved for future generations.

Social Responsibility and Community Engagement

We believe in building strong, lasting relationships with the communities around our mining operations. Lewis & Co is dedicated to contributing positively to the socio-economic development of these communities. Our approach includes:

  • Local Employment and Training

    We prioritize hiring local talent and provide extensive training programs to equip employees with the skills needed for the mining industry. This not only enhances local employment but also empowers the community with valuable skills.

  • Health and Safety

    The safety and well-being of our employees and the local community are of utmost importance. We maintain rigorous health and safety standards to ensure a safe working environment. Our safety protocols are regularly reviewed and updated to mitigate risks and prevent accidents.

  • Community Development Initiatives

    We invest in community development projects that address critical needs such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. By supporting local schools, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure projects, we aim to improve the quality of life for those living in the regions we operate.

Responsible Resource Management

Resource management is central to our operation strategy. We are committed to ensuring that the extraction of resources is done responsibly, with a focus on maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste. Our approach to resource management includes

  • Efficient Resource Use

    We utilize state-of-the-art technologies to ensure that resources are extracted and processed with minimal waste. This helps in reducing the overall environmental impact and maximizes the yield from our mining operations.
