We are committed to protecting and conserving nature and biodiversity.
In early 2024, we reinforced this commitment by becoming early adopters of TNFD.
Our approach
We have a multi-pronged approach to protect ecosystem health, through biodiversity sensitivity mapping, conservation, education, staff incentives and smart rehabilitation practices. For more information on how we manage biodiversity, please see the below materials:
Biodiversity and ecosystem services underpin human existence and are an essential element to reduce the impacts of climate change.
Our goal is to effectively manage biodiversity across our sites and reduce our impacts throughout the life of an asset, and post closure. We do not undertake exploration or mining activities on natural World Heritage sites. We map regional and local protected areas and terrestrial ecoregions to effectively work with biodiversity around our sites.
Endeavour has some key targets to halt and reverse biodiversity loss which include to:
1,000 ha
Expected to be planted by the end of 2025 over our four-year partnership
427 ha
Successfully planted in 2024
150 ha
Group rehabilitation target, 2025
540 ha
Group protection target, 2025
We map regional and locally protected areas and terrestrial ecosystems to understand and effectively work with biodiversity around our sites. All our sites are located within 50 km of some form of area of conservation importance (e.g. World Heritage Site, Classified Forest, Important Bird and Biodiversity Area, Key Biodiversity Area, UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve, Ramsar Site, etc.). These areas are already formally recognised for their biodiversity conservation value, with some even enjoying legal protection.
