Women on Board Seal (WOB)

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 movement to expand and strengthen the participation of women in the mining sector, fostering a dynamic business environment capable of attracting and retaining them, capitalizing on their strengths and recognizing 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.

Gender Equity

Grupo Empodera is our plurality front that focuses on gender equity and promotes several actions, among them:
