GLOBAL Ferronickel Holdings Inc. (FNI), the second largest nickel producer in the country and the largest single lateritic mine producer in the world, is committed to carry out its operations in an environmentally and socially responsible manner for the benefit of the country, most especially the communities in which it operates.

Last July 2016, its operating arm in Surigao del Norte, Platinum Group Metals Corporation (PGMC), was among the first mining companies to receive International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001:2015 certification for Environmental Management System with no non-conformities issued at the time of the audit by Intertek--a global company specializing in assurance, testing, inspection and certification of products and services. Its affiliate based in Palawan, Ipilan Nickel Corporation, also received an environmental certification related to management of mine site preparation. ISO 14001 is the international standard that provides organizations with a framework to protect the environment and respond to changing environmental conditions in balance with socio-economic needs.
