Sustainability Commitments by 2030

Our sustainability strategy is driven by six commitments by 2030, where we set priorities to face this urgent challenge and help minimize climate change, certain environmental impacts and build community relationships. This means taking charge of our goal as a company, boost sustainable development in the Chilean mining industry, with clear goals and timelines.

Reduce Carbon Footprint: we will reduce our GHG emissions by 70%.

We will have 100% clean electricity; we will innovate to replace all underground mine production and logistics equipment with electromobility; and we will actively search for new clean energy sources, such as green hydrogen.

Reduce Water Footprint: we will reduce our continental water use by 60%.

We will reduce continental make-up water consumption through process efficiency; we will incorporate a desalination plant in Distrito Norte and, through innovative solutions, we will reclaim the water from our tailings storage facilities.

Circular Economy: we will recycle 65% of our industrial waste.

We will recycle 100% of our OTR tires and increase recycling of main nonhazardous solid industrial waste from our operations and projects, such as steel, wood, packaging materials, organic waste and scrap.

New Tailings Storage Facility Standard: 100% of tailings facilities with world-class sustainability measures.

We will perform online monitoring, using innovative systems, to ensure the physical and chemical stability of the tailings storage facilities and apply infiltration control systems.

Territorial Development with Social Value: we will increase by 60% locally sourced goods and services and also increase local workforce.

We will implement a new territorial integration strategy, focused on creating social value, by boosting local workforce, strengthening mining education and increasing territorial sustainability.

REDUCTION OF PARTICULATE MATERIAL: WE WILL REDUCE OUR PM10 EMISSIONS BY 25%

We will reduce 20% of PM10 in our Northern District by 2027, 3% more than established by the Calama Atmospheric Decontamination Plan that came into force in May 2022. We will incorporate new technologies in dust suppression and a detection system for adverse weather conditions, and we will have 100% of the air quality measurement stations below 40 µg per m3 (micrograms of PM10 per cubic meter of air) in localities neighboring our operations to 2027.
