Sustainability and Responsibility
Corporate Social
Make a difference together
In May 2023 KF obtained the BCorp Sustainability certification, becoming one of the companies that are committed to measuring and considering their environmental and social performance with the same attention traditionally reserved for economic results and that believe in business, as a positive force that strives to produce value for the biosphere and society. This goal aligns with the 2020 choice to become a Benefit Company, integrating into its corporate purpose, in addition to profit objectives, the aim of having a positive impact on society and the environment.
KF is dedicated to creating a positive impact through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and support for various non-profit organizations.
KF’s operations are also aimed at the common benefit of the territory and neighboring communities with the aim of best preserving and protecting environmental aspects. Specific actions are also evaluated outside the national territory, with promotion, support and training initiatives aimed at specific projects that are in line with the transversal sustainability of the actions implemented. On this page we list some of the initiatives and projects. More details can be found in our Sustainability Report.
The collaboration between KF and Doctors Without Borders began in 2012 with the support of humanitarian activity that reaches where there is most need. Since 1971, Doctors Without Borders has taken care of millions of people in danger, with numerous medical activities: management of hospitals, clinics and nutritional centers, war and routine surgery, fight against epidemics and psychological support for victims of trauma and war , intervening quickly and efficiently in all these humanitarian emergencies.
Conflict minerals policy statement
In response to the violence and human rights violations in the extraction of certain minerals from the “Conflict Region”, located in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries, KF is committed to supporting the humanitarian goal of ending the violent conflict in those areas.
KF has implemented an internal procedure that complies with the relevant sections of the internationally recognized OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) guidelines and requires its suppliers to carry out adequate verification of supply chains to determine the places of origin of 3TG minerals and whether the smelter or the refinery has been certified as “conflict free” by an independent third party or through the use of the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template questionnaire (drawn up by “cfsi”).
