Antamina seeks to foster partnerships and collaboration with area communities and citizens. Our goal is to be open and transparent in our relationships, in particular regarding environmental and social issues.

Antamina operates in an area with low environmental and economic standards. The Conchucos Valley, immediately surrounding the mine, is a remote area in Peru that has little access to resources for development and was at the mercy of terrorist violence in the 1980s. This is the reality that Antamina seeks to transform and improve with joint effort and work.

At Antamina, we believe that our business objectives should be aligned with the hopes and aspirations of the surrounding communities. For this reason, we are in constant communication with those communities. We seek to improve the living conditions of our neighbors, in respect to health and education as well as infrastructure and economic development. Our goal is to achieve this in a responsible manner, working together with the State, non-government organizations and, most importantly, the community.

Our sphere of influence goes beyond the Conchucos Valley; it extends to Huaraz, El Pinar, the community of Huallanca (where the electric sub-station is located), Huarmey (the site of the mining port) and the Fortaleza Valley and to other towns along the pipeline route.

We seek to develop our surroundings in a sustainable manner. Our goal is to be a facilitator, a strategic partner that provides the necessary tools so that these communities are able to achieve their own development and improve their quality of life.
