Public Welfare and Charity Case
Cloudbreak has installed the electricity network for people around mining operation sites in Central America, bringing light, convenient and smile to the community. And we have created a lot of job opportunities all over the world to improve quality of life for the people in where our mining operation sites located.
We have donated goods to people suffered from natural disaster in the country with our existence, such as countries in central and south America. Under Covid-19 pandemic situation, we have also expressed our caring to the society and community by donating protective items to fight the virus along with people in these countries.

Sustainability Case
During the construction of the mining operation site, the excavation process will destroy the plantation of the area which may lead to soil erosion and habitat destruction in the area. The environment will be hard to get recovered solely by natural force, and Cloudbreak has carried out effective engineering measure to prevent and rescue from such situation.
Unlike the usually adopted measure by pouring concrete on the slope which forbids the plants to grow, Cloudbreak create robust and eco-friendly vegetation covers for slopes created during the excavation process, preventing soil erosion and landslip. The green slope will also purify the air, beautify the environment and provide new green habitat to support the native species, help preserving biodiversity and species abundance in the area.
