Galan Lithium Limited has detailed its environmental and social initiatives in its 2026 annual report, focusing on water conservation, modern slavery policies, and workforce diversity measures.
Material actions and disclosures
The company conducted an independent, third-party environmental audit at its Hombre Muerto West (HMW) site to ensure compliance with applicable environmental regulations and sustainability standards. Galan measures water consumption daily and conducts monthly assessments of both fresh and groundwater quality. Quarterly participatory monitoring of water conservation and usage is carried out in collaboration with local communities.
Galan is dedicated to ensuring its operations are free from modern slavery and human rights abuses. The company has a Modern Slavery Policy in place, along with robust internal controls and processes to prevent violations within its business practices across its operations. This includes routine audits, strict supplier codes of conduct, and transparent reporting mechanisms.
Diversity and inclusion are central to Galan’s organisational culture. The company measures and promotes gender, origin, and age diversity within its workforce, including leadership positions. In FY2026, female participation represented approximately 25% of Galan’s HMW workforce. Additionally, over 82% of the HMW workforce consisted of local employees, reflecting its ongoing commitment to the Catamarca community.
The health and safety of Galan’s employees, consultants, and contractors is of utmost importance. The company has developed specific Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) policies and collects data on a range of health and safety-related issues. During the financial year, the company recorded zero lost time injuries (LTIs), representing a significant improvement from previous years.
