-- Kess Energy, a leading junior lithium miner based in Brasília, Brazil is proud to announce the launch of a ground-breaking organization, "Comunidades Avança Brasil" or Communities Forward Brazil (CFB), aimed at ensuring that the economic and social benefits of Brazil's flourishing lithium mining boom are rapidly and equitably shared with local communities impacted by disruptive operations.
The Brazilian lithium sector is experiencing an unprecedented expansion, driven by surging global demand for renewable energy solutions and electric vehicle technologies. While the industry has brought significant economic opportunities, there remains an urgent need to translate these gains into tangible improvements in the lives of communities living near mining sites.
"Mining is a transformative force in our economy, but its true success lies in its ability to uplift the people and communities most affected by our activities," said Inato Ramirez, Chairman of Kess Energy. "Through Communities Forward Brazil, we aim to work collaboratively with industry peers, local governments, and NGOs to create actionable solutions that address local needs—from infrastructure and education to health and environmental conservation."
Communities Forward Brazil's key objectives include:
- Community engagement: Establishing open dialogue forums to listen to the concerns and aspirations of local residents.
- Fair redistribution of benefits: Advocating for policies that ensure a greater share of mining revenues is reinvested in local community projects.
- Sustainability and innovation: Partnering with stakeholders to implement environmentally sustainable practices that balance development with ecological preservation.
- Transparency and accountability: Promoting ethical business practices and transparent communication regarding mining activities and their impact.
Kess Energy invites other mining industry players to join Communities Forward Brazil in creating a unified platform to champion sustainable development and community empowerment.
"By joining forces, I think it's possible that we can redefine the narrative of mining in Brazil," added Mr. Ramirez. "Our goal is to ensure the legacy of the lithium boom is not only wealth creation for big business and shareholders but also the elevation of the communities who are the heart and soul of our nation."
