Capella Commits to ESG Disclosure through
Digbee ESG® Platform
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Jan. 25, 2022
/CNW/ - 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."
