SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is central to our ESG-driven approach to developing long-term social value. It is an integral part of our strategy, embedded across our environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance practices. We are committed to ensuring that the benefits of the planet’s resources are shared equitably, including with the communities where we operate.
We are committed to not only meeting but surpassing regulatory standards in health, safety, environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and corporate governance. Guided by the expertise of Kerix’s Governance and Sustainability Performance Unit (GSPU), and in close partnership with strategic allies, such as CONFEMIN supporting 500,000+ artisanal and small-scale miners—impacting the lives of 2.5 million+ Peruvians—we remain united in our mission. Together, we aim to set a benchmark in sustainability and operational excellence, driving lasting prosperity in the communities we support.
Our Approach to Sustainability/ESG Development:
Our approach to sustainable development is centered on generating long-term value for our stakeholders by operating responsibly. We prioritize safety, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility, while supporting the well-being of our employees, their families, and the communities where we operate. We also uphold the rights, traditions, and values of all those affected by our activities.
Promoting Health and Safety:
We are dedicated to fostering a workplace where safety is a top priority especially for miners. Our goal is to prevent all incidents and injuries by creating an environment that is free from harm. Through collective effort, we strive for a injury and fatality free workplace that promotes the health and safety of our team members, contractors, and neighboring communities.
Environmental Stewardship:
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by preventing, minimizing, and mitigating any adverse effects of our operations. Preserving ecological diversity and environmental health is a guiding principle in all that we do.
Valuing Our Workforce:
We are committed to building a work environment grounded in respect, fairness, and integrity, where the safety and well-being of every employee is protected and valued.
Supporting Local Communities:
We aim to positively influence the regions in which we operate by supporting initiatives that promote sustainable social and economic growth within those communities.

Frameworks and Reporting
Our objectives is to ensure our portfolio consistently meets performance expectations while minimizing operational risks. To achieve this, we focus on our in-house Governance and Sustainability Performance Unit (GSPU), which plays a central role in identifying, evaluating, and addressing risks. GSPU was established to uphold rigorous standards of sustainability and transparency, and it serves as the cornerstone for delivering on the commitments outlined in our Sustainable Development Policy, as well as the international frameworks, principles, and programs we support. Our approach is fully aligned with globally recognized standards, including ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety, and ISO 9001 for Quality Management.
