AMBATOVY SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

Text Product Responsibility Performance
The international industrial organizations to which Ambatovy
belongs promote appropriate and safe uses of nickel and
cobalt, as well as advocating for appropriate science-based
regulations. Environmental impacts of our products are
considered and communicated in a variety of ways, including
guidance on safe use, environmental quality standards, and,
under REACH, through a variety of exposure scenarios for
industrial uses.
Ambatovy is working to create optimum labelling, which
fully complies with relevant rules and regulations, such as
the REACH and Classification, Labelling and Packaging
(CLP) regulations in countries of destination. We pay careful
attention to safety notices such as hazardous material
warnings in accordance with international standards such as
the International Marine Dangerous Goods Code.
Neither nickel nor cobalt, nor any of the metal-containing
by-products, are sold directly to end-use consumers. They
are sold to industrial users, who are generally aware of the
health and safety aspects that must be considered.
