The Future is made of Copper
The KGHM Polska Miedź Group is a global, innovative organization involved in technologically advanced exploration, mining and metallurgical operations. For several decades, the Company has been mining and processing valuable underground resources, supplying the world with products that enable its sustainable development. The Company’s history began in 1957 with the discovery of one of the world’s largest deposits of polymetallic ores, predominantly copper and silver, located in southwestern Poland. The deposit has been effectively and rationally mined to this day. As the years went by, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group grew its business significantly both in terms of products and the market. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is present on four continents: in Europe, South America, North America and Asia. The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is comprised of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. as the Parent Entity and several dozen subsidiaries.
In July of 2022, 25 years will have transpired from when KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. first went public on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Today, the copper giant’s shares are listed in the WIG20, WIG30 and WIG-ESG indices. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is also among companies included in the FTSE4Good Index Series.
Despite the years marked by the pandemic and the most recent days marred by the dramatic war on the other side of our eastern frontier, we have never surrendered to pessimistic visions and forecasts regarding the global economy and mining industry. We have a clear strategy, which we effectively execute during turbulent times, too. Day after day we create a stable future for our employees and value for our owners, and a plan for future generations in Poland. We supply the raw materials the global economy needs. We incessantly emphasize that the future is made of copper!
