Our Mission
« To sustainably develop and add value to the mineral resources of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, driving local economic development and fueling the global energy transition. »
At GROUPE CHA, our mission rests on three fundamental pillars:
- Operational Excellence: Producing high-purity strategic and precious minerals (copper, cobalt, gold) by employing state-of-the-art extraction and processing technologies.
- Responsibility and Transparency: Ensuring full traceability (« conflict-free minerals ») at every stage of the value chain, in strict compliance with the DRC Mining Code and international OECD standards.
- Positive Social Impact: Creating shared value through skilled local employment, ethical support for partner cooperatives, and sustainable investments benefiting the communities of Haut-Katanga.
Our Values
Our operations are grounded in unwavering ethical and industrial principles that guide every decision we make, both in the field and on international markets:
- Health and Safety (Safety First)
The lives and physical well-being of our employees, subcontractors, and partners are our absolute priority. We implement a « Zero Accident » policy through rigorous safety protocols, compliant equipment, and continuous on-site training.
- Ethics and Integrity
We practice transparent and exemplary governance. GROUPE CHA maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding corruption, strictly prohibits child labor throughout its supply chain, and ensures scrupulous respect for human rights.
- Sustainability and Environmental Protection (ESG)
Mindful of the mining industry’s environmental footprint, we are committed to minimizing our ecological impact through responsible water management, strict treatment of industrial discharges, and the progressive rehabilitation of mined sites.
- Partnership and Community Engagement
We believe in win-win partnerships. GROUPE CHA collaborates closely with local authorities, civil society, and neighboring communities to fund sustainable infrastructure, education, and healthcare projects.
- Innovation and Quality
From extraction to export, we strive for metallurgical excellence. We constantly invest in modernizing our infrastructure to deliver certified, consistently high-quality products to global markets.
