Contributions to society and indirect impacts

Focus on the surrounding communities

An ethical, transparent relationship with society is essential to our strategy of promoting development in regions where we operate. Before beginning an activity, we assess the possible operation impacts on the surrounding communities and create both mitigation and compensation actions for the negative impacts, as well as multiplication efforts for the positive ones to provide social, environmental, and economic benefits to these areas.

We seek to generate income and jobs for people living near our operations, and endeavor to strengthen relationships with local suppliers, promoting professional qualification initiatives and efforts to insert small and medium enterprises into the industry's production network. Furthermore, we support programs and projects conceived to promote citizenship and foster the creation of Local Agenda 21s.
