A Responsibility We Take Seriously

The Great Salt Lake is one of Utah’s most vital natural resources, supporting regional ecosystems, public health, and essential industries. Preserving the lake is not a trend or a talking point for us, it is a responsibility rooted in long-term stewardship, sustainability, and respect for the land.

Our Legacy on the Great Salt Lake

Our connection to the Great Salt Lake spans three generations. That legacy carries a responsibility to protect this resource not only for today, but for future generations.

As President Bruce Anderson has shared, “My family’s three-generation legacy on the Great Salt Lake gives us a special stewardship to protect this precious resource. We must ensure that this miraculous lake is preserved forever.”

Respect for Indigenous Stewardship

Our philosophy aligns closely with the way Indigenous peoples have long regarded the Great Salt Lake as a sacred place of balance and healing.

We honor the Shoshone people who came before us and whose relationship with the lake was guided by respect and sustainability. Tribal leaders of the Shoshone Nation have maintained a longstanding, collaborative relationship with the Anderson family, one that continues today.

Supporting Landmark Great Salt Lake Legislation

On March 12, 2025, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed HB453 into law, one of the most significant legislative actions ever taken to protect the Great Salt Lake. The bill received bipartisan support and was described by Speaker of the House Mike Schultz as “one of the most impactful bills” passed in support of the lake.

Our company worked closely with Friends of Great Salt Lake, Speaker Schultz, bill sponsor Representative Casey Snider, and other legislators to help shape, advance, and pass HB453. The legislation represents a critical shift in Utah’s water framework by recognizing the inherent value of water remaining in the lake and prioritizing long-term ecological preservation.

The goal is to balance ensuring essential resources remain available while placing the ecosystem and environment first. Preservation and responsible operations must coexist for the lake to remain viable over time.

Balancing Essential Resources and Environmental Protection

Responsible mineral production and environmental preservation are not mutually exclusive. Minerals derived from the Great Salt Lake are essential to daily life and support critical health, nutrition, and industrial needs.

The goal is to balance ensuring essential resources remain available while placing the ecosystem and environment first. Preservation and responsible operations must coexist for the lake to remain viable over time.
