Responsibility
Our commitment to quality, sustainability, and people
At Global Minerals Technologies, responsibility is not an accessory — it is an essential part of how we work and how we define long-term value. We believe that industrial excellence must go hand in hand with environmental stewardship, ethical practices, and a deep respect for the people and communities we serve.
Our approach to responsibility is structured around three fundamental areas:
Quality Assurance
Ensuring product consistency, regulatory compliance, and technical excellence at every stage of the supply chain.
Sustainability and Environmental Awareness
Minimizing our environmental footprint through responsible sourcing, efficient operations, and eco-conscious product applications.
Ethics and Social Responsibility
Upholding strong ethical standards, supporting our employees, and engaging with local communities to create lasting, positive impact.
These commitments are integrated into every level of our organization — from operations to governance — and shape the way we do business every day.
Quality Assurance
A commitment to consistency, performance, and reliability
At Global Minerals Technologies, quality is not just a process — it is a mindset that guides how we operate, how we engage with our clients, and how we build long-term trust.
Our approach to quality assurance is comprehensive and proactive. We don’t just test products at the end of the line — we design quality into every stage of our value chain, from raw material sourcing to final delivery.
From Source to Solution: A smarter Future
During grinding and classification, our production lines are continuously monitored to ensure tight control over particle size, brightness, moisture, and chemical composition. Each plant operates under standardized procedures tailored to regional characteristics, while maintaining global uniformity in results.
LAB & Analytical Capabilities
We support our production with advanced analytical infrastructure designed to ensure consistency, safety, and performance in every batch. Some of the key techniques and controls include:
X-Ray Diffraction (XRD): For mineral phase identification and crystallographic analysis
X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF): For chemical composition and trace element monitoring
Laser Diffraction: For accurate particle size distribution
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): For surface morphology and particle shape observation
BET Surface Area Analysis: For specific surface measurements in functional applications
Brightness and Whiteness Indexing: For quality control in visual and optical applications
Oil Absorption Tests: For assessing interaction with resins and binders in coatings and plastics
These techniques allow us to tailor our talc grades to meet specific industrial requirements, including applications with strict tolerances in pharmaceuticals, food, or high-end polymers.
Certifications and Compliance
Many of our products are used in sectors where quality is inseparable from safety. For this reason, our operations are aligned with internationally recognized standards and guidelines, including:
We continuously review and upgrade our systems to ensure our products remain fully compliant and future-proof.
A Partnership Approach
What sets our quality assurance apart is our relationship with our clients. We believe in working side by side with them — not only as suppliers, but as technical partners. Whether it’s co-developing a customized talc grade, troubleshooting a formulation, or ensuring batch-to-batch consistency over long-term supply, we see quality as a shared responsibility.

We rigorously test every batch to guarantee purity, particle size distribution, and moisture control. Our commitment to sustainability, traceability, and continuous improvement makes us the preferred choice for companies looking to optimize performance while meeting regulatory requirements.
Sustainability and Environmental Awareness
Responsibility beyond our products
At Global Minerals Technologies, we understand that our responsibility does not end with what we produce — it extends to how we produce it and what impact that process has on the world. Our sustainability mission is built on a foundation of respect for natural resources, reduction of environmental impact, and commitment to continuous improvement.
Responsible Resource Use
Our grinding plants in Italy, Pakistan, and Japan are operated with a clear mandate: to combine industrial efficiency with environmental protection. We invest in modern infrastructure that allows us to optimize raw material usage and reduce waste at every step.
Environmental Management in Practice
Across our facilities, we apply environmental measures that reflect local operating conditions and regulatory requirements. Our goal is to reduce our environmental footprint through practical, site-adapted solutions.
Dust control measures, such as localized filtration systems, are in place to reduce airborne emissions during processing and handling.
Water use is minimized, and where applicable, we encourage reuse and implement practices that reduce freshwater consumption.
Energy-efficient technologies are integrated into our grinding and classification equipment to optimize energy usage and improve process efficiency.
Noise mitigation is considered in equipment selection and plant layout to minimize impact on workers and surrounding communities.
Waste handling procedures ensure that non-product materials are safely stored, classified, and managed. Where feasible, we promote reuse or recycling, particularly for packaging and process by-products.
Environmental compliance is maintained in accordance with local regulations, including controls and permitting related to air, water, and noise emissions.
These practices are reviewed regularly as part of our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and continuous improvement.
Sustainability in Product Applications
We also contribute to sustainability through the performance of our products. Many of our talc grades help our customers reduce their environmental impact:
In plastics, talc enables lightweighting, which reduces fuel consumption in transport.
In coatings, it supports low-VOC formulations and improves durability.
In agriculture, talc serves as a natural carrier for crop protectants — suitable for organic farming.
In food and pharma, our high-purity talcs reduce reliance on synthetic additives.
Ethics and Social Responsibility
Guided by principles, driven by people
At Global Minerals Technologies, we believe that responsible business begins with integrity — in how we treat people, how we operate, and how we contribute to the communities around us. Our approach to ethics and social responsibility is both structural and cultural: grounded in clear principles and expressed through day-to-day actions.
A Culture of Integrity
We are committed to:
- Non-discrimination, equal opportunity, and workplace dignity
- Anti-corruption and fair competition practices
- Responsible procurement aligned with our values
- Full legal and regulatory compliance
All team members receive regular training on these principles, and we review and update our internal policies to reflect evolving global standards.
Supporting Our People
We consider the wellbeing, development, and inclusion of our employees as central to our mission. Across all sites, we foster a safe and respectful work environment with strong occupational health and safety practices adapted to each facility.
Professional development is a key part of our culture. We offer technical and managerial training opportunities that support individual growth and long-term career paths. At the same time, our diversity and inclusion initiatives ensure that all employees feel valued and respected, regardless of gender, nationality, or background.
Engaging with Communities
Beyond our internal culture, we seek to build positive and lasting relationships with the communities around our operations. We focus on long-term engagement, not just isolated initiatives. Depending on local needs, this may include:
- Supporting local hiring and vocational training
- Collaborating with educational institutions or NGOs
- Participating in environmental and social projects
- Contributing to infrastructure or community development
In every case, we aim to act as a responsible corporate citizen — respectful of local cultures and committed to shared progress.
