Social Responsibility

Our Heritage and Responsibility

Our goal is to demonstrate that artisanal gold mining is technically, economically, socially, and environmentally viable.

We work closely with artisanal miners and lead programs to formalize artisanal mining.

Our foundations are strict compliance and due diligence, traceability of funds and the origin of the material.

INTEGRAL SOCIAL WORK

Our programs, designed to implement alternative crops in regions where artisanal mining is practiced, aim to offer mining communities opportunities to diversify their economies and mitigate the environmental impacts of their trade. These programs are geared toward women, single mothers, and other minority populations.

Economías alternativas a los programas mineros

Nuestros programas diseñados para la implementación de cultivos alternativos en regiones donde se practica la minería artesanal, buscan ofrecer a las comunidades mineras oportunidades para diversificar su economía y mitigar los impactos ambientales generados por su comercio.

 

Estos programas están dirigidos a mujeres, madres jefas de familia y otras poblaciones minoritarias.

As a result of the hard work of our Compliance and Legal departments, we have achieved the formalization of subsistence miners organized into pre-cooperatives and associations. This allows for complete traceability in the purchase of materials at their collection points and the distribution of benefits to their communities.
