Minas más seguras

Innovalatino 2011 describió a Buenaventura como una de las compañías grandes más innovadoras, especialmente reconociendo su trabajo en responsabilidad social corporativa:

In order to raise awareness among the workforce and reduce accidents and injuries, Buenaventura trains workers to detect, identify and record all of the hazards related to each of their tasks, makes safety tours to demonstrate active leadership through the example of each mine’s general manager, and provides on-site theoretical and practical training. In 2009, its fatal accident frequency rate (FAFR) fell by 50% compared to 2008.

By improving living standards it is an ally in the quest to achieve the integrated development of the surrounding communities. One of its social goals is to improve access to and management of the watershed system surrounding its operations by promoting the construction of dams, canals and irrigation systems. For example, in Uchucchacua, under an agreement with PRONAMACHS and the Community of Oyón, Buenaventura created a program to recover 20 hectares of degraded pasturelands, which benefited 600 members of the local community. It also offers electric power transmission and engineering consulting services.

Currently, Buenaventura complies with the highest environmental standards and is committed to corporate governance best practices. In 2009, Germanischer Lloyd renewed the ISO certification for Buenaventura’s Julcani, Orcopampa, Uchucchacua and Antapite mining units, and granted certification to Shila-Paula mine for the first time. In 2010, Buenaventura implemented an Environmental Management System based on the ISO 14001 standard.
