Held at the Japanese Garden in La Serena, the event brought together more than 60 suppliers as key stakeholders in measuring, managing, and reducing the company\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of its commitment to sustainable mining and climate action, Compa\u00f1\u00eda Minera del Pac\u00edfico (CMP) held its first \u201cSupplier Meeting: Sustainability and Carbon Footprint\u201d at the Japanese Garden in La Serena. The event aimed to strengthen collaborative work with its value chain, advancing jointly toward the company\u2019s carbon neutrality strategy.<\/p>\n

The meeting brought together CMP representatives and more than 60 suppliers for a day of dialogue and shared learning, during which the company\u2019s performance and strategic vision guiding its ESG and sustainability management were presented. In this context, CMP highlighted the strategic role suppliers play in the operation\u2019s carbon footprint and the importance of coordinated efforts in measuring, managing, and reducing emissions.<\/p>\n

The agenda included a technical presentation delivered via streaming by Arturo Espinosa, coordinator of the Huella Chile Program at the Ministry of the Environment, along with the participation of CMP\u2019s carbon footprint advisory team, Proyectae, who conducted a diagnostic survey among attendees. This tool will help assess the current status of emissions management among supplier companies and project future actions focused on emissions reduction and compensation.<\/p>\n

Within this framework, Carlos Sep\u00falveda, CMP\u2019s Administration and Finance Manager, presented the \u201cStrategic Vision 2026\u201d, highlighting how sustainability and carbon footprint management are integrated into the company\u2019s business model, Process Risk Management (PRM), to strengthen a resilient value chain, together with industry associations such as CIDERE and CORMINCO.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSustainability is a strategic pillar for CMP, as it supports the development of our projects, operational continuity, and the way we engage with the territory alongside our suppliers. We have made significant progress in reducing CO\u2082 emissions, incorporating local labor, increasing women\u2019s participation, and developing local suppliers, but we still face important challenges,\u201d
Sep\u00falveda stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

During the event, CMP formally recognized the companies Bailac, Amfall, Transportes SAE, Copec, and Resiter, highlighting their concrete progress in initiatives aimed at emissions reduction, as examples of the path the company seeks to promote together with its supply chain. In addition, specialist Jos\u00e9 Luis Huepe delivered the talk \u201cWhat Is Not Measured Is Not Managed\u201d<\/em>, emphasizing the importance of quantification as the basis for informed and responsible decision-making.<\/p>\n

From the suppliers\u2019 perspective, Constanza Arancibia Mu\u00f1oz, Corporate Sustainability Officer at Imopac, valued the initiative and the collaborative approach, noting:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are working with our sustainability committee, and having the support of our client company gives us peace of mind and confidence. Our processes generate a significant impact on the carbon footprint, but moving forward together allows our ideas to be effectively implemented in the production process. It is very positive to see that we are not alone on this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

For her part, Maytte Inojosa, Head of Strategic Planning and Sustainability at CMP, emphasized the importance of the meeting as a starting point for deeper engagement with suppliers:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis event marks a milestone in our relationship with suppliers on sustainability matters. While the focus was on the carbon footprint, our goal is for these instances to address ESG challenges in a comprehensive manner, also incorporating social dimensions. Today, we begin this journey together with our suppliers so they can measure their footprint and, in the future, move decisively toward its reduction, strengthening a more sustainable value chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Through this initiative, CMP reaffirmed its conviction that sustainability is a central pillar of its management and marked a starting point for more stakeholders to join the commitment to a different kind of mining\u2014one that grows responsibly, reduces its environmental impact, and advances toward long-term climate goals through collaboration, emissions traceability, and the integration of its entire value chain.<\/p>\n
