Sustainability is a fundamental part of our creation of social value. We are determined to make a difference.

As a mining company, we fully know that the nature of our operations can have significant environmental impacts. Likewise, we are totally dependent on environmental resources such as land and water.

Our approach is directed to minimizing adverse environmental impacts at each stage of our operating activities. Thus achieving a broader contribution to the resilience of the natural environment.

We are passionate about environmental performance and managing environmental impacts in our host communities as an important part of our contribution to social value.

We seek to minimize unfavorable environmental impacts at each stage of the life cycle of our operating activities. To this end, we have developed a series of comprehensive frameworks, policies and processes that apply to environmental hazards, including the following initiative:

• Avoid and minimize the impact on the environment and host communities
• Rehabilitate and compensate for impacts that cannot be avoided
• A sustainability approach that describes the performance requirements for our operated assets.

We are committed to the people of the host communities to our projects. This is why we always work to have programs for sustainable development for nearby communities. Our north is to work responsibly, guaranteeing growth for our shareholders, employees, host communities and society in general.

We firmly believe that our work to obtain excellence in sustainability will help to guarantee the best benefit for all parties involved. Including support for the residents of the host communities and their governments. This with the intention of building communities that will have a better future, even when we have to leave them.

We have an initiative of continuous dialogue with each of the host communities, where we care to put their priorities and expectations first. Everything in our power to achieve long-term ties of trust. We are respectful of their cultures and beliefs, as part of the respect they deserve.
