The professional appointment supports standing in the safety field, but it is not an operating outcome at Elevra. **Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. The professional body identifies her by name and current Elevra role. **Relevance:** Independent professional recognition relevant to the safety function. [ASSP Appoints Monique Parker, CSP, as New President]() (1 July 2026 release, appointment and credentials) ## Industrial safety ### Current NAL injury trend under enterprise HSEC oversight [monique-q1-safety] September 2026 quarter · issuer reported · medium materiality The September quarter reports six recordable injuries, mostly musculoskeletal, with no common causal factor identified; management described renewed coaching and critical-risk-control work. Parker's current portfolio includes occupational EHS, but no incident or system failure is attributed to her personally. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Enterprise HSEC responsibility overlaps the period; incident details remain at site level and do not identify an individual cause. **Relevance:** Current oversight issue for the CSO and safety leader; not a personal finding. [ASSP Appoints Monique Parker, CSP, as New President]() (professional-body release, current Elevra EHS scope); [September 2026 Quarterly Activities Report]() (PDF pp.3-4, safety performance) ## Environmental record ### Carolina Lithium permitting and community concerns [monique-carolina-permitting] 2023–October 2026 · disputed · medium materiality In 2023, WFAE quoted Parker as Piedmont's HSE leader explaining the company's position on naturally occurring arsenic and proposed water treatment while residents raised groundwater, blasting and permit concerns. NCDEQ issued a mining permit with operational and monitoring conditions in May 2024; four petitioners later challenged its issuance and voluntarily dismissed without prejudice in February 2025. Elevra's September 2026 report says a draft air permit was open to comment and an October hearing was held. These records show project-level scrutiny and a company response, not an established violation or false statement by Parker. **Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. Parker was directly quoted in a company response while holding Piedmont's HSE role; the regulator/legal events concern the project/company. No personal legal responsibility is shown. **Relevance:** Material HSEC and social-licence context for the current CSO; distinguish public concerns, permit conditions and an unproven breach.

ASSP independently identifies her as CSP and as its 111th president; the issuer reports a Tennessee Tech chemical-engineering degree. This is relevant background, with role chronology and credentials only partly independently corroborated. **Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. Issuer profile defines her remit; ASSP corroborates professional standing and appointment, not every prior position. **Relevance:** Direct fit for environmental, safety, community-engagement and permitting oversight.
