Discover how the PYX Cares programme aligns with ZIA values.
PYX Resources is the second largest publicly traded, producing mineral sands company by zircon resources globally, with its key tenements in the alluvium-rich region of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. They seek to mine responsibly and invest in the wider communities in which they operate. Fundamentally, the company believes that business can be a catalyst for change.
Sustainability is not just a nice to have, it is the very foundation on which we have established our business.
PYX Resources was inspired by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to guide its business ethos and development. With this in mind, PYX has introduced PYX Cares as a blueprint for making a difference and achieving sustainable growth.
A holistic sustainability programme, PYX Cares is designed to ensure it delivers sustainable value to all stakeholders, from empowering local communities and protecting the environment, to promoting diversity and making sure employees and the people of Kalimantan, fully participate in PYX’s long-term success.
The PYX Cares programme was established from the outset, in recognition of the crucial role the local community would play in helping to realise their growth plans.
We are focused on making a meaningful difference to the communities in which we operate, to achieve sustainable growth, foster improvements in their quality of life, and to empower local communities.
