Sustainability Charter
The Nickel Institute and its Members:
• seek ways to drive responsible standards in good practice in all aspects of worker safety, health, training and the environment: we collectively and individually engage with the downstream user industries in the adoption and implementation of good practices in this respect;
• strive to provide users with easily accessible and understandable technically up-to-date information and training packages on the safe use of nickel products;
• promote sharing and adoption of good practice throughout the nickel industry across all aspects of our ‘A Step Further’ programme through our Good Practice Forum;
• seek to reduce any potential harm across the full lifecycle of the product through Nickel Stewardship;
• through our Nickel Stewardship Clearinghouse, actively engage with the user value chain to share latest knowledge and encourage the safe and responsible use and disposal of nickel containing products throughout their lifecycle.
Our ‘A Step Further’ programme drives:
• protection of worker safety and health within the nickel industry;
• promotion of awareness and responsible practices in relation to nickel and its applications in downstream
user industries;
• the safe handling, use, reuse and disposal of nickel-containing products throughout their lifecycle;
and
• protection of the environment.
This is achieved through continuous improvement measures at operating facilities and research programmes of
the Nickel Institute aimed at developing knowledge.
