Boliden and Meriaura Set New Standard in Carbon-Neutral Shipping! 🌍 What steps are you taking toward a greener future? Boliden is taking a major step toward sustainability by partnering with Meriaura on their innovative EcoVoy concept. Through this collaborative pilot project, Meriaura is using biofuel-compliant vessels to transport zinc, copper, and nickel concentrates for Boliden. Setting new standards for eco-friendly shipping: • Five shipments, each carrying approximately 5,000 tons of cargo. • 15 tons of CO₂ saved per trip, totaling around 80 tons for all five voyages. • Life cycle emissions of less than two tons of CO₂ for the entire project. EcoVoy, powered by 100% waste-based biofuel from VG EcoFuel Oy, reduces emissions by 97.7% compared to traditional fossil fuels. How is your industry embracing sustainability? #CarbonNeutral #EcoVoy #Biofuel #Boliden #Meriaura

Boliden seeks concession for the Laver deposit 📃 As the world transitions to a greener future, Europe is in need of reliable sources of copper. This is one of the reasons Boliden now have re-applied for a concession for the Laver deposit in the north of Sweden. The Laver project is still, despite years of public attention, at an early stage and we now hope that past administrative challenges have been solved to be able to work with the project in more detail if the concession is granted. It is considered that the Laver project, if realized, could strengthen the European copper supply by some 10%. Many steps are still to be taken before that can happen, but now one important step is behind us.

Boliden celebrating 💯 years of innovation and progress!   Shining a spotlight on one of our youngest and most modern operations – Boliden Kevitsa.   Located in Sodankylä, northern Finland, Kevitsa is a multi-metal mine that, in just over a decade, has become a cornerstone of the local economy and a hub of innovation within the mining industry.   Automated, electrified, and constantly evolving, Kevitsa is pushing the boundaries of what mining can achieve in the 21st century. For example, Finland’s first electric trolley line opened in Kevitsa at the end of September 2022.    Kevitsa plays a vital role in the Sodankylä community, offering valuable employment opportunities and fostering talent through strong collaborations with local training providers.   Kevitsa’s story is one of perseverance and progress. From its early days as a remote mineral deposit site known since the 1950s to its rise as a state-of-the-art mining operation, Kevitsa exemplifies what it means to be a mine for modern times.   How many mines do you think Boliden operates today?

Empowering the Future of Mining with Mathilda and Kajsa-Stina ⚡️   At Boliden Aitik, powering up the mine is more than just a job—it's a dynamic challenge that @Mathilda and @Kajsa-Stina, the only women in a team of 16 electricians, tackle daily. Born and raised in Gällivare, these two took different paths to join Boliden but share the same passion for their work.   "No two days are the same here—we're like the electrical emergency team, always ready to keep production running," they say. Their dedication shines through in everything they do, from handling high voltage to solving complex problems in sub-zero temperatures. In an industry often seen as male-dominated, Mathilda and Kajsa-Stina prove that teamwork and determination are what truly matter. "For us, teamwork is essential—it’s literally life-saving in our work," says Mathilda.   What teamwork is essential in your work?

International Pride Month 🌈 International Pride Month is coming to an end. It’s a time for joy but also for raising awareness about the ongoing challenges the LGBTQI+ community faces. Respect and appreciation for all employees are crucial at Boliden: It’s about safeguarding psychological safety and tolerance for every team member. Therefore, we recently launched a new online course focused on LGBTQI+ inclusion in the workplace, available to all employees: “Knowledge gives us a better understanding and awareness of what we can do to become even more inclusive at Boliden, so that everyone feels welcome,” says Anna Yngström, Manager of Talent and Performance. Creating an inclusive corporate culture is something we strive to achieve together at Boliden - each of us, every day, in all situations and in everything we do. #diversity #respect #LGBTQI+
