By balancing social, economic and environmental responsibilities, we help ensure the long-term success of our company, employees, customers and communities. Eight principles guide our actions.

More than 95 percent of spent lead-acid batteries are recycled in the U.S., making it the most recycled consumer product. We recycle lead-acid batteries and other lead-bearing material, putting a valuable resource back into useful life.

Minerals and metals are foundational to modern society. We’re proud to supply North America and the globe with the products and services that generate jobs and economic vitality.

Our future depends on future generations. That’s why we support minerals education in elementary schools, provide college scholarships and manage a hands-on intern program.

The minerals and metals we produce provide start-up power to engines and back-up power for medical, military and emergency services.

From football fields to bridges, education to mine tours, we’re committed to those who support us every day. We believe strong communities propel sustainable business.  

Our products come from the earth. We strive to protect all the resources we use through improved recovery processes, minimizing the impacts of our activities and preparing sites for future purposes.

Protecting our employees, contractors and communities is a core value we focus on daily through training, measuring and reporting.
