Ethics - KoBold Metals

Ethics come first.

At KoBold, everyone is responsible for upholding the company’s ethical standards.

Safety

We respect the health and lives of people in all operations. Plans are designed to anticipate and prevent harm before it happens. Safety is an everyday discipline that guides how we prepare, communicate, and make decisions in the field and beyond.

Anti‑Corruption

We will never pay a bribe. We walk away from deals, discoveries, even countries rather than participate in corruption. We are setting a new standard: the world’s best investors and the world’s best innovators don’t tolerate corruption.

Community Support

We know our success depends on resources we didn’t create - not just mineral deposits, but the skills, commitment, infrastructure, and goodwill of the communities where we work. That’s why we engage early, listen closely, hire locally, and contribute in ways that create lasting value.

Environmental Protection

Our job at KoBold is to make breakthroughs the world needs and to show that every part of our business can be environmentally responsible. We’re building a company that treats environmental care as essential to success.

Anti‑Discrimination

We will beat our competition and disrupt our industries by hiring and promoting talented people from all backgrounds. Innovation comes from diversity of experience, identity, and thought.

Integrity

We will be honest about what we know and what we don’t. Good news, bad news, tough calls, we will speak openly. Honesty will be the language everyone at KoBold speaks across the world.
