Boliden AB 2015 AR2
The report highlights Boliden's financial and sustainability performance for the fiscal year 2015. Key achievements include the successful ramp-up of the Garpenberg zinc-silver mine expansion to its planned capacity of 2.5 million tonnes, making it the world's most productive underground zinc mine. The company also implemented a new business model for nickel smelting at Harjavalta and decided to invest in a new sulphuric acid plant there. Despite challenging market conditions with lower metal prices, Boliden achieved a 54% increase in operating profit (excluding process inventory revaluation) due to improved market terms, a stronger US dollar, and increased mined production. On the sustainability front, Boliden reduced its carbon dioxide intensity to 0.65 tonnes per tonne of metal produced and continued its focus on mine automation and safety.
