Sustainability

Lydian Armenia is committed to the principles of sustainable development, integrating economic growth, responsible environmental management, strong health and safety performance, and community well-being. Our activities focus on protecting the environment, supporting sustainable community development, and creating long-term value for Armenia.

Environmental Management

Nature is one of Lydian Armenia’s core values, and responsible environmental management is both our duty and an ongoing commitment. Our environmental management practices comply with national legislation and are guided by international best practices, including the standards and principles of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). Based on these principles, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) documents for the Amulsar gold project were developed to identify potential risks and establish management plans to prevent and mitigate those risks.

Environmental management at Amulsar is implemented in accordance with these plans and its integrated into the daily work of our teams. Each team member follows the company’s environmental policies, standards and procedures.

At Amulsar, continuous monitoring of air quality, surface and groundwater, soil, noise, vibration, and biodiversity allows for the prompt identification and response to potential deviations. The results support the assessments of the environmental management system’s performance, enable continuous improvement, and promote transparency.

Health and Safety

By placing the highest value on human life and health, Lydian Armenia has established an international-standrad health and safety culture at Amulsar, setting a new benchmark for the mining industry in Armenia. Maintaining and promoting this culture among team members, partners, and surrounding communities remains a core priority and a key foundation for safe operations.

Social Responsibility

From the very beginning of its operations, Lydian Armenia has prioritized partnership-based, trust-driven, open, and transparent relationships with the communities surrounding the Amulsar mine. Our goal is to support sustainably developing, socially secure, and prosperous communities through our activities through our activities on local population.
