Mining operations in Peru coexist with innumerable communities, which means that they have to be in contact with them from the get go. From the exploration stage all the way to closure, it is important to build a long-term relationship. For the mining operator, professionally managing the raised expectations is key, as well as ensuring that the plethora of contractors and providers will follow the same standards. Building trust can take years, but one single mistake can ruin everything. "Historically, many mining companies have made a mistake in thinking the best way to deal with communities was not getting involved with them. We have understood that we need to face social issues from the very beginning. In this context, information is key. If we make mistakes, we need to be transparent and acknowledge it," said Diego Ortega, head of corporate affairs and legal at Gold Fields La Cima.
