Our fundamental business philosophy – the “BABY STEPS” principle – is at the forefront of our environmental program.
By taking “BABY STEPS”, Neptune Minerals is committed to a precautionary approach in everything we do, including our environmental program, seafloor exploration and mining.
Such an approach is an incremental one, whereby the impacts of the technology and methods we use can be determined at pre-mining scales, and without risking compromise to ecosystem integrity. Through the use of scientific research and best available technology, Neptune Minerals aims to adapt our processes towards attaining sufficient knowledge of the ecosystems and implementing measures to protect the biodiversity of deep sea communities during exploration and mining.
