We contribute to the construction and improvement of roads, schools, and health establishments in the areas near our mining units and projects. This helps improve living conditions and access to services and, therefore, to close existing gaps and thus promotes greater local competitiveness beyond the life of the mine. Emphasis has been mainly placed on water and sanitation projects, as well as water infrastructure works that have improved water use and agricultural production.

In 2022, we focused on four fundamental aspects: water and sanitation, irrigation, connectivity, and road infrastructure. Twenty-four projects have been completed, benefiting more than 60,000 people in the regions of Arequipa, Pasco, Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Apurímac, Moquegua, and Lima. Their value is around US$ 10 million, with around US$ 5 million corresponding to the works-for-taxes mechanism.
