Monitoreo de todos los componentes ambientales: Se realizan de manera periódica según la Declaración de Impacto Ambiental 61/19 para conocer las condiciones ambientales del entorno y, en caso de identificar desvíos, actuar en consecuencia para retornar dicho componente a sus condiciones según los límites establecidos por la legislación ambiental aplicable. Para los muestreos y posterior análisis, se contrataron los servicios de un Laboratorio con certificación de calidad IRAM 17025, lo que garantiza la confiabilidad en los resultados obtenidos. Los puntos monitoreados fueron los mismos de los años anteriores, y los componentes también: agua superficial, agua subterránea, suelo, calidad de aire, ruidos ambientales y efluentes cloacales. Todos los valores informados por el Laboratorio Ambiental se encuentran dentro de los parámetros establecidos por la ley 24.585. Monitoreo Ambiental Participativo: Se llevó adelante en octubre de 2021, en cumplimiento de la Resolución 04/18 de la Secretaría de Minería y Energía de la Provincia de Salta. • Participaron dos monitoras ambientales: una representante de la Comunidad de Santa Rosa de los Pastos Grandes y una representante familiar de los puesteros.

Actualización del mapeo de riesgos de tráfico de influencias y corrupción por parte del Grupo Eramet: Inicialmente elaborado en 2017, esta actualización se llevó a cabo en el contexto de los requisitos de la ley anticorrupción francesa “Sapin II”, y las recomendaciones emitidas por la Agencia Francesa de Lucha contra la Corrupción. Fue realizado conjuntamente por el Departamento de Ética y Cumplimiento y el Departamento de Gestión de Riesgos, Control y Auditoría Interna de Eramet, con la asistencia de la consultora Deloitte. El propósito fue identificar los riesgos potenciales de corrupción y tráfico de influencias que el Grupo Eramet pueda enfrentar, a través de las actividades de sus subsidiarias o proyectos, y también los controles existentes para mitigar esos riesgos. El análisis se basó en talleres individuales y grupales con miembros de los equipos de gestión y operativos del Grupo; y cuestionarios para recopilar información. La Red Ética del Grupo Eramet es: https://eramet.integrityline.org Toda persona que sea testigo o víctima de una violación de los derechos humanos en relación con las actividades de Eramet puede denunciar este comportamiento.
