Lundin Mining commits to responsibly mining base metals vital to society while creating meaningful value for stakeholders. The Foundation works closely with each site to increase the capacity of regional suppliers, develop untapped business opportunities, and foster community-led, sustainable solutions.
In Chile, the Supplier Development Program (PDP) completed its third and final year, supporting the growth of 30 local businesses, generating over 870 local jobs and securing over $1.5 million in contracts with Candelaria.
In Portugal, economic diversification continued to be an essential priority to strengthen communities around the Neves-Corvo mine region.
In Michigan, USA, the Foundation worked alongside Eagle’s flagship programs to promote long-term sustainability. To support the development of local entrepreneurs, the Foundation assisted Big Bay to enhance community recreation assets and small business opportunities.
In Sweden, the Foundation contributes to social and environmental entrepreneurship through a business incubator that focuses on youth-led innovations.
