Boliden

Boliden has invested a total of SEK 5 billion to secure Aitik’s future operations. This includes reinforcing dam structures and implementing efficient water management systems to meet the international GISTM (Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management). Our long-term goal is to ensure sustainable tailings management, with careful consideration for both society and the environment.   Read more about the project and its impact on Aitik’s future: https://lnkd.in/dEgVbxbd

For just over a year, Astrid Edvardsson has held the position of LCA and Sustainability Project Manager at Boliden’s Stockholm office. LCA stands for life cycle analysis, and it plays a key role in her day-to-day work, offering a long-range view of the our products.  “I’ve come to have enormous respect for the operation—it’s so complex you can’t help but be amazed,” says Astrid.

Today we publish our Annual and Sustainability Report 2024, highlighting our first century of operations and covering areas such as strategy, operations, sustainability and financial performance. Read the full report on https://lnkd.in/gZD78K6i

Today, the world's most climate-efficient zinc smelter, Boliden Odda, is inaugurated. The investment, which is one of Boliden's largest investments to ever be completed, will boost production of climate-efficient zinc from 200 ktonnes to 350 ktonnes. Through the increase in production, Boliden Odda will establish itself as Europe's second largest and the world's most productive zinc smelter. https://bit.ly/3Rc6qMm #zinc #odda

International Women’s Day on March 8th is a day dedicated to honoring the achievements of women and serves as a call to action for accelerating the efforts towards gender equality and addressing the ongoing challenges women face. At Boliden, we work actively to promote positive changes in the field of gender equality and strive to create a more inclusive industry for future generations. In December 2024, a significant milestone was achieved in the mining- and metal industry with the establishment of a benchmark for gender representation and equality. This achievement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Boliden and the fellow members in ICMM. The initiative aims to drive more diverse, safe, and inclusive workplaces by enabling companies to track their progress in implementing equitable practices in hiring, pay, and investment in training. The benchmark will be reported in a biennial performance report starting in 2026, providing transparency and accountability for companies and stakeholders. This achievement marks a crucial step towards improved performance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across the entire industry. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #GenderEquality #DEI

Yesterday, Boliden together with Fortum, Finnish Minerals Group and Blykalla organized a high-level dinner event in Brussels. The event was a response to the European Commissions recently released Clean Industrial deal: a joint roadmap for competitiveness and decarbonization. #boliden #fortum #finnishmineralsgroup #blykalla

Linnea Sannelind was born and raised in Gällivare, where mining is simply part of everyday life. With several family members who have worked at Boliden, her career choice was an easy one.

This week, EcoLink was inaugurated – a joint venture by Boliden Rönnskär and the local energy company Skellefteå Kraft to turn even more waste heat into district heating. The expanded district heating network means that more of the waste heat from Rönnskär will be used instead of being released into the sea, while Skellefteå Kraft no longer needs to burn peat to create heat. An improvement in Rönnskär's energy efficiency and overall, a large saving of carbon dioxide emissions. This project has been made possible through partial funding from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency via the investment support program, Climate Leap (Klimatklivet).   We extend our gratitude to our partners Skellefteå Kraft AB and all others involved in making this a success.   In the photo are Linn Andersson, General Manager of Boliden; Evelina Fahlesson, Municipal Commissioner of Skellefteå Municipality; Kristina Sundin Jonsson, Head of Administration of Skellefteå Municipality; and Joachim Nordin, CEO of Skellefteå Kraft.
