A little more than four years since construction began on our facilities in its different locations, Antamina has generated a synergy with its environment. Both the company and the community within its sphere of influence have notably improved their relationship through a process of permanent consultation, integration and transparency. Basic achievements are:

	The community leads its development.
	There is mutual credibility and respect.
	This union has lead to a strategic alliance.
	The development programs are part of the regional development plan.
	The community has learned to establish priorities for its development projects.
	Joint management for monitoring has been established at every level.
	We have external auditors.
