Our Sustainability Strategy

Our strategy is guided by our corporate values and our purpose – well-being for all. We aim to achieve our vision by positively transforming communities and people in an inclusive, sustainable, and forward-looking manner through four commitments:

1. We are a benchmark for responsible mining.

Corporate sustainability management is strategic and integrated into our business model. We want to demonstrate that responsible mining generates value for all our stakeholders and society in general.

2. We innovate and manage for the long term.

From planning we visualize the permanence in the territory and the legacy we leave as a central element. Therefore, our programs, risk management systems and goals are rigorous and seek to incorporate innovation in all our processes.

3. We strengthen our bonds of trust with stakeholders.

Our management is participatory and includes all stakeholders. This relationship encompasses information, communication, consultation and interaction processes that allow us to strengthen our social license to operate.

4. We extend our sustainable vision to the entire value chain.

We work together with clients, suppliers and artisanal and formalized miners to raise sustainability management to the highest standards in the sector to contribute to its evolution.
