Capella Minerals Ltd. Commits to ESG Disclosure through Digbee ESG® Platform
VANCOUVER, Jan. 25, 2022 - Capella Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CMIL) (FRA: N7D2) (the "Company" or "Capella") is pleased to announce that, in partnership with Digbee ESG® ("Digbee"), it has adopted an industry-standard Environmental, Social, & Governance ("ESG") disclosure system designed to drive and report "international best practice" ESG principals within the Company. The Company achieved an overall BB rating in its first-ever formal ESG assessment, with a clear road map for short- and mid-term actions that could lead to a rating in the A-AAA band. The Digbee evaluation was designed by ESG practitioners with extensive expertise in both the mining and exploration industries. Eric Roth, Capella's President and CEO, commented: "We are pleased to have chosen Digbee as the platform through which to report the Company's ESG strategy and action plans going forward. Each member of Capella's Board and Senior Management has had a long and distinguished career in the mining/exploration industry - with transparency and ethics being fundamental principals - and we look forward to continuing and formalizing this philosophy going forward through the Digbee platform.
I am also pleased to report that Capella is one of a small, but growing, group of junior exploration companies to have formally adopted this formal ESG reporting. This demonstrates our commitment to adopting and striving to achieve globally acceptable ESG standards as we work together with local stakeholders in an open and transparent fashion whilst continuing to advance our high-grade copper and gold projects in Scandinavia and Canada."
Jamie Strauss, Founder & CEO, Digbee commented "We are delighted to welcome Capella Minerals onto the Digbee platform. Embedding ESG within a company strategy is crucial and Capella management, through an independent assessment, has shown both leadership and a clear approach to doing so. Digbee ESG provides a solution for all mining companies to efficiently disclose ESG, rewarding management in their actions and supporting a means for all stakeholders to credibly track the ESG journey."
Further information on the Company's ESG disclosure may be found at both Capella's website (www.capellaminerals.com) and the Digbee digital platform (https://digbee.com).
