LGBTI+ Companies and Rights Forum

As part of our plurality initiatives, we are part of the LGBTI+ Business and Rights Forum, an institution that brings together companies committed to inclusion and the defense of the community and human rights. Our main purpose is to expand and strengthen the presence of people from these groups and make them feel increasingly welcomed and represented in the company.

Women on Board (WOB) Seal

We received the Women on Board (WOB) Seal for the presence of women on our Board of Directors. WOB is an independent initiative that seeks to recognize and value the existence of corporate environments with the presence of women on boards of directors or advisory boards, highlighting the benefits of diversity in the business world and in society.

Women In Mining (WIM Brazil and WIM Peru)

We were the first Brazilian mining company to be part of the initiative to expand and strengthen the participation of women in the mining industry, fostering a dynamic business environment, capable of attracting and maintaining them, capitalize on their strengths and recognize their values. This is an opportunity to take a closer look at women in communities impacted by mining and to value female entrepreneurship in the supply chain.

The Empodera Group is our plurality front with a focus on gender equity and which promotes several actions, including:

• - Breaking Taboos: promotes conversations about taboos and barriers by working on unconscious prejudice.
