Health & Safety Fair 2025: Two Weeks to Strengthen Safety Culture

From May 19 to June 2, 2025, as part of World Day for Safety and Health at Work (April 28), Prony Resources organized the second edition of the Health & Safety Fair 2025, a travelling event held at the plant, the mine, and then at the Nouméa offices.

With more than 500 visitors, this edition was a major highlight for raising awareness, encouraging dialogue, and promoting prevention, fully aligned with one of the company’s core values: “Succeeding together and safely.” The event is part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy, which places health and safety at the heart of its commitments. Prony Resources aims to provide a healthy and safe working environment while ensuring the effective management of technological and natural risks.
