ESG

Our drive for success at Silex focuses on having a positive impact on our stakeholders and the world at large. Sustainability is core to our mission and values, and is achieved by prioritising the health and safety of our people and ensuring environmental responsibility in everything we do.

We are focused on delivering value through the responsible development and commercialisation of our technology and by continually addressing any potential social and environmental impacts of our operations.

At Silex, we have a well-defined Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitment with three focus areas:

Health, safety and wellbeing of our people
Environmental responsibility
Strong corporate governance

Health, safety and wellbeing

At the core of our ESG commitment is the health, safety and wellbeing of our people, and the safety of our operations and the communities in which we operate. We pro-actively manage our WHS Management System with in-house and third party WHS specialists to ensure risks and hazards in our workplace are appropriately addressed and mitigated on a continuous basis. Furthermore, our workplace ethics are defined by respect for each other and embracing diversity and inclusion. We recognise the benefits of diversity and promoting equal opportunities at all times.

Environment

We are committed to bringing innovative technologies to market that can have a positive impact on the global environment. In particular, our SILEX technology is currently focused on:

improving efficiencies and reliability in nuclear fuel production for the generation of zero-emissions electricity from nuclear power and contributing to climate change mitigation efforts;
developing sovereign capability for production of isotopically engineered materials that are key to enabling next-generation quantum computing and nuclear medicine technologies, potentially providing humanity with disruptive tools to solve global-scale environmental and social issues.

At the same time, we are committed to protecting the environment in which we operate by mitigating any potential risks or impacts of our activities.

Governance

Silex is committed to demonstrating the highest standards of corporate governance. The Board’s focus is on enhancing the interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders while ensuring the Company is operating responsibly so that risks are effectively managed or mitigated and our operations are consistent with our ESG commitments at all times.
