Kaolin
For the next decade, we have set ourselves an unusual objective – the transformation of Kaolin into a "green" company.
Huge efforts are to be exerted in order for a mining company such as Kaolin to attain a stage, where its impact on the environment is much more favourable than harmful. However, we are firmly determined to achieve it because it is our believe that the "green" orientation is strategically the more responsible model for our development, and from the business point of view could turn out to be also quite a profitable undertaking.
Of course, the "green" strategy also means modernization of our production so that we generate minimum emissions of carbon dioxide, which is the main cause of the global climate changes. So that now, neither of our productions uses liquid fuels or coal. We are convinced that amongst you – our customers and partners – we shall find more and more followers and adherents of our strategy. Thus, the club of "green" companies will grow, and for us shall remain the satisfaction to be one of its first members.
