Our
purpose journey

Our purpose journey has followed a 4-stage path: Discovery, Articulation, Activation and finally, during 2022: Internalization. The objective of this final stage has been to reinforce purpose throughout our company and communities through an intense communication campaign and activities that seek to reflect on the meaning of being part of Molymet for each employee and the importance of their work in creating value – in this way aligning intention with our strategic agenda.
