In every community where we operate, from Safford, AZ to Silver City, NM to Arequipa, Peru, we aim to work in partnership to help communities build their own sustainable futures.
We operate around the globe, but each of our operations is rooted in local communities where the people we employ, suppliers we choose, and organizations with which we partner are all integral to the success and development of the area. We recognize that listening to our community stakeholders, working collaboratively and building local ownership of development plans is critical to make decisions that have positive, lasting impacts.
We share a responsibility with our communities to engage in ongoing dialogue, to make informed social investments and to encourage employees and local citizens to give back through volunteerism.

Community Partnership Panels
One of the primary ways we engage with local communities is through a model we call “Community Partnership Panels” (CPPs) which are comprised of local leaders and citizens representing a broad range of stakeholder groups across all sectors of the community who meet on regular basis.
CPP meetings are designed to:
- Share information about the company’s operational activities and facilitate a dialogue and collaboration to mitigate any negative impacts and maximize positive impacts
- Encourage the community to share questions or concerns so that we may respond
- Identify, define and prioritize each community’s social issues and related needs
- Develop strategies, actions and potential projects to address the needs
- Create overall collaboration that leads to success
