Social Resposibility
"Promoting a Sustainable Development Culture"
To be the leading company in mine management and to position ourselves in the market as a company that adheres to the highest standards of community relations, quality of work, safety and protection of the environment.
Develop a mining company using the best technical alternatives, and to consider the human factor as the main hub for self-sustained growth for the benefit of the society around us in the achievement of these goals.
This commitment is tangible in the supported development programs that improve the quality of everyday life in the communities local to our operations.
Main Social Programs Carried Out:
- Community organization
- Health
- Education
- Healthy Food (Warm Meals)
- Sports
- Child Sponsorship
One of the Company's most significant social programs developed through Fundacion Petaquilla, is the implementation of Production Modules. These serve as mechanisms to foster community productivity by promoting a more varied economy and sustainability. This is achieved by assisting people with ventures that will provide for a livelihood beyond subsistence farming, identifying more effective and efficient manners of production, and transferring the use of new technology.
The main goal is to be proactive in providing technical advice to management personnel, employees and contractors on the subject of occupational and environmental risk prevention in order to promote and maintain a secure and productive working environment with the highest respect and care for the environment.
Our basic principle is to conduct mining activities within a framework of respect and regard for the environment and the control of possible environmental effects that could be generated by the development and operations of our projects.
Environmental protection activities include:
- Re-vegetation, reforestation and beautification
- Hydrology, source and sedimentation control
- Soil conversation and erosion control
- Solid waste management and recycling
- Training and environmental education
