In November 2025, the Lundin Foundation, in collaboration with Mining Shared Value, coordinated a two-day Local Procurement training for multi-disciplinary teams from Lundin Mining’s operations. The workshop built on a broader local content gap assessment and action-planning process launched earlier in the year, helping to advance local procurement efforts across sites.
The training brought together 25 professionals from Supply Chain, Social Performance, Sustainability, Communications, and Operations, representing Candelaria, Caserones, Chapada, Eagle, and the Corporate team. Drawing on both technical sessions and practical exercises, participants built a shared understanding of local procurement principles, explored what “local” means in different operational contexts, and reviewed tools to support supplier selection, pre-qualification, and monitoring.
A central feature of the workshop was cross-functional integration, facilitating the definition of roles and responsibilities across sites. Participants also identified governance, finance, communications, and operational enablers needed to advance local content commitments.
Insights from the training are now informing site-specific local content action plans, which the Lundin Foundation is finalizing in collaboration with the operations and Corporate. Together, these efforts aim to build practical approaches that strengthen local supplier development and embed local procurement more effectively across the business.
