The Ambatovy Project in Madagascar is one of the world's largest nickel mining projects. Ambatovy is determined to be a positive influence in local and regional development and as such assigned SCE with the task to train its crisis and emergency management teams, conduct exercises and revise their crisis and emergency management plans. SCE embedded the Principles of Emergency Management in the plans and trainings. Ian Currie, security manager, said, "The remote location of mining operations, and the introduction of complex industrial processes into developing countries, requires comprehensive emergency management to protect people, the environment, property and the continuity of operations. Integration and collaboration are difficult when the standards of planning and the capabilities deployed in our operations are ahead of those in our surrounding communities. We hope that by applying the highest of standards we can contribute to the development of greater safety and resilience for not only our facilities but for the communities from which are employees come."
