Sibanye-Stillwater
Sibanye-Stillwater has relocated a tailings dam at its Keliber lithium mine in Finland after discovering droppings from an endangered flying squirrel. The adjustment creates a 100m buffer to protect the nocturnal species. This reflects Finland's strict conservation rules amid Europe's first lithium project.

Sibanye-Stillwater CEO Richard Stewart has criticised the absence of premiums or credits for producers of green metals based on their downstream environmental benefits. Speaking from the company's Keliber mine in Finland, he argued that original equipment manufacturers prioritise the cheapest options over cleaner ones without regulatory incentives. Stewart called for industry-wide metrics to reward such benefits across the value chain.
