The center of our operations is in Erdenet city, the second-largest city in Mongolia and home to the Erdenet Mining Corporation—the largest copper and molybdenum ore mining and beneficiation complex in Asia. Beyond mining and mineral processing, Erdenet's commercial undertakings include a strong thermal power station and light industries such as non-ferrous metals, food production, wood processing, and carpet manufacturing.
As a company rooted in Erdenet, we feel our social and environmental responsibility to the local community. We want to play a crucial role in regional environmental restoration and conservation, particularly in reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality, mitigating the negative impacts of mining, and contributing to a greener future.
We are convinced that reforestation and afforestation activities are the main nature-based solutions for tackling the effects of climate change
Reforestation is crucial in combating or preventing deforestation and forest degradation and to revert a situation where forests shrink in size or are completely removed.
Afforestation can help to avoid desertification, the process in which fertile land turns into a desert as a result of drought, often in combination with intensive land use such as overgrazing. For commercial foresters as well as for landowners, afforestation is essential to ensure that they can grow wood for manufacturing wood products and can meet demand in a sustainable way.
Reforestation and afforestation fight deforestation, result in an improved capacity to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), positively affect wildlife habitats and contribute to the prevention of flooding in certain areas due to soil cover degradations.
