Orion is helping to create a new Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) paradigm for junior exploration and mining companies by insisting that ESG is a moral imperative that should be built into the fabric of every business from the outset.

We aim to be a positive catalyst in host community engagement, in protecting the environment and most importantly, in keeping our people and contractors safe and well. Underpinning this approach is Orion’s commitment to weaving ESG into every aspect of its business model, implementing ESG initiatives as it ramps up to mining its first metal.

Orion has been recognised for its leadership in ESG, winning the Emerging ESG Leader Award at the 2020 AAMEG Africa Awards, the Junior ESG Award for Enhanced Labour Standards at the 2022 Investing in African Mining Indaba, and the AAMEG’s 2024 Emerging ESG Leader Award at the Africa Down Under conference.
