Covia is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing energy efficiency across our operations. In recent years, we integrated data-driven analysis into our strategy, utilizing comprehensive GHG emissions assessments to pinpoint significant climate-related opportunities and risks.

Since 2021, we have implemented several solutions and undertaken initiatives to reduce emissions, including:

- Piloting high-efficiency burners and installing new dryers
- Participating in voluntary curtailment programs
- Housing equipment in heated areas to limit fuel usage by minimizing temperature fluctuations
- Upgrading lighting to high-efficiency LED bulbs that run on timers
- Replacing aging and inefficient compressors
- Insulating maintenance buildings to reduce the amount of energy required for heating and cooling
- Participating in power purchase agreements and using renewable energy, where possible

In addition to these initiatives, we engaged a consultant to help us establish a decarbonization roadmap. We are implementing the highest-potential strategies to meet our emissions reduction goals.

As a result of this assessment, identified strategies we are pursuing include:

- Building carbon integration into capital planning to activate site-level decarbonization activities
- Considering on-site renewable energy at strategic sites
- Evaluating fuel switching for lower-carbon alternatives at key sites
- Leveraging advanced process-control systems to maximize efficiency in each phase of the mining process
- Upgrading and replacing energy-intensive equipment with low-carbon alternatives
- Improving transportation efficiencies for raw materials and finished goods
