We partner with local mining cooperatives to add value to copper and cobalt ores. Once we mine the copper and cobalt, we transport it to our smelters in Kambove and Likasi and then ship it to our customers worldwide.
Minserve currently gives 5% of our profits to the local community to help them build local capacities and promote social-economic activities. Our community policy has resulted in several modern schools being built and increased living standards.
Minserve Sprl works with independent material suppliers grouped into mining cooperatives.
We group them into cooperatives to make it easy to implement our traceability program.
We do not buy minerals from conflict-prone regions or non-registered cooperatives. We currently support more than 5,000 artisanal miner.
