Deutsche E-Metalle advances ESG goals with Digbee assessment

Proactive - Interviews for investors

Digbee founder and CEO Jamie Strauss and Deutsche E-Metalle AG CEO Dr Micha Zauner discuss the company's strategic advancements following its second Digbee ESG assessment. Zauner told Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the improvement from a B to BB rating reflects the company's strong commitment to ESG goals. He detailed how the assessment aids in guiding the company's efforts in Argentina's Carachi Blanco project, ensuring transparent communication with stakeholders, and meeting the rigorous standards of the German downstream industry. Since its founding in 2021, Deutsche E-Metalle has embedded ESG principles into its core operations. Zauner highlighted the importance of not just discussing ESG but implementing it actively, which the Digbee assessment has facilitated. The assessment also positions the company favorably with Germany's critical raw materials fund, aimed at supporting the German energy transition. Over the next 12 months, the company plans to commence drilling and further its exploration efforts, prioritizing community engagement and local workforce development. The conversation also covered the broader context of Germany's energy transition and the reliance on critical metal imports. Zauner emphasised the importance of establishing an ecosystem of junior mining companies to secure a reliable supply chain and avoid future energy crises. Strauss underscored the significance of responsible operations in modern mining, praising DEM for its early adoption of robust ESG practices. He noted that this approach not only secures social licenses to operate but also boosts investor confidence and positions the company for long-term success.
