Antamina

Antamina operates in an area of low economic and environmental standards and is deemed a friendly and collaborative partner with the communities and populations in its environment. It therefore applies a model of openness and transparency in its relations, as well as on environmental and social issues. The Conchucos area, the mine's immediate envir... onment, is a remote area of Peru that was at the mercy of terrorist violence in the decade of the eighties and it never had access to a development process. This is the reality that with effort and teamwork, Antamina seeks to transform and improve. The company believes that the company must combine the company's business objectives with the aspirations and hopes of the communities near the company's operations. For this reason the company implement consultation and communication processes as indispensable tools in building relationships with the community. The company seeks to improve the lives of the company's neighbors, both in health and education, infrastructure and economic development, while always acting responsibly, working together, and seeking the active participation of the Government, NGOs and, above all, the community. The company's sphere of influence goes beyond the Conchucos area. It extends to Huaraz, where the El Pinar urban development is found; Huallanca, where the electrical power substation is located. It also extends to Huarmey for its construction of the mining port, the Fortaleza Valley and other towns through which the ore pipeline passes. Antamina makes a great effort to sustainably develop the environment, always assuming the role of facilitator, of a strategic partner, -avoiding any kind of paternalism,- and by providing the necessary tools so that communities themselves are the protagonists of their development and of improvements in their quality of life.Read More
