Sustainability

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

Sustainability is a vital consideration at all stages of the mining cycle, from discovery to development, extraction, and to closure. It is a strategic imperative for Hochschild and is fundamental to our purpose.

Our long-term business model is guided by our Corporate Sustainability Policy, offering an attractive investment opportunity for our shareholders through the creation of long-term value from safe, innovative, and environmentally-sound operations.

Culture and Communication

FLICMA

In August of 2025, we held the third edition of the Festival of Literature, Culture and Art of Mara Rosa and Amaralina (FLICMA), with nearly 3,400 participants, including students, educators, and local leaders. The 3-day event included workshops, artistic performances, storytelling sessions, book raffles, educational panels, theatre competitions, and a talent show. With the involvement of ten local schools and three educational centres, FLICMA has become a key initiative for fostering reading, cultural appreciation, and stronger community connections.

Environmental Ambassadors Programme

To fully embed our environmental culture into our everyday operations, we invite employees and contractors alike across all levels to be part of our Environmental Ambassador programme. The programme’s main objective is to train agents of change who strengthen the culture of environmental awareness within the Company. Since the programme’s inception in 2021, we have introduced 118 Environmental Ambassadors across all sites.

HOCHSCHILD SAFETY 2.0

Seguscore

Launched in 2022, the SeguScore is an in-house safety performance indicator that measures both proactive and reactive safety metrics. It includes leading indicators like leadership presence, behavioural observations, and mini audits, as well as lagging indicators such as injury frequency and severity rates and the occurence of high potential events. This tool provides team leaders with valuable information, which allows them to review safety conditions in their areas, improve accident/incident investigations, increase communication, and make necessary improvements to avoid the occurrence of safety events.

Preventing workplace harassment

Since 2020, we partner with Harassment-Free Workplaces (“Espacios Laborales sin Acoso” - ELSA), an organisastion specialised in preventing workplace sexual harassment, to carry out an annual comprehensive diagnosis at our operations and administrative offices in Peru. The results from our last survey, conducted in 2025, showed measurable improvements in the amount of sexual harassment cases, awareness of company policies and reporting channels, and the perception of company tolerance and case management. We plan to launch the campaign in Brazil and Argentina in 2026.
