Azucar is committed to environmental stewardship and believes that successful exploration both creates wealth and fosters lasting social benefits. We work hard to build sustainable development that results in long-term prosperous relationships.
Azucar manages its exploration programs in harmony with the surrounding communities. We aspire to make a positive social difference where we live and work. By supporting and financing projects that come from local groups, educating and employing local people, and respecting their culture and property, Azucar is committed to improving the quality of life in communities we work with and within.
Azucar’s Commitments:
- We will work to earn the trust of all people we interact with, whether they are our employees, the communities around which we operate, the governments that host us, or any other persons with whom we are involved in the sustainable development of mineral resources.
- We will respect private property and seek voluntary, mutually beneficial long-term relationships.
- We will meet or exceed industry standards for environmental protection, following the laws and regulations of the countries and regions in which we operate.
