Metals For Humanity

About Us: Metals4Humanity works with mining companies to use the products they extract to address humanitarian challenges and help make vulnerable communities more resilient. Our multi-sectoral initiatives leverage the qualities of metals and minerals to innovate social impact projects that generate clean water, increase food security, and sustain renewable energy. Guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, our vision is to make the mining business, and metals, work for us all. Current Projects: The Pure Silver Initiative (puresilver.mx) is a sustainability initiative, spearheaded by Fresnillo plc, the world’s #1 silver producer. It is designed to ensure the provision of clean, safe water to local communities. We deploy a range of technologies, from age-old practices such as rainwater harvesting, to the very latest, silver-based water disinfecting systems, that utilize silver’s natural, antibacterial properties, to provide clean water where it’s needed. Currently active in Mexico, the Pure Silver Initiative is extending its impact in Latin America and beyond, both to mining communities and to other communities that require clean drinking water.
