Sustainability

Sustainability is a vital consideration at all stages of the mining cycle

“We take enormous pride in managing our business in a way that ensures returns to all stakeholders, including our employees and the communities surrounding our operations.”

Eduardo Hochschild, Board Chair

APPROACH AND STRATEGY

Our business model reflects our commitment to making a better world for our workforce, communities and society as a whole.
