Lombardo Paredes, Chief Executive Officer of Gran Colombia, said, “As we reflect on 2020 in our inaugural Corporate Sustainability Report, I feel immense pride and gratitude when thinking about our journey and all that we have achieved in our 10 years of operating in the region of Antioquia, Colombia. With 90% of our workforce from the region and by generating a little over 4,000 jobs, we have become tied to the community. Our community investments are focused on improving the lives of our workers, their families and local suppliers, as well as others who are not affiliated with the mine. Our COVID-19 response plans, investments in education and healthcare, technical skills training, environmental initiatives and support for the economic empowerment of women are all examples of our commitment toward responsible mining and the economic well-being of our employees and the communities in which we operate.”
