Projects
Esperanza Silver de México
A subsidiary of Alamos Gold Inc. is developing the “Esperanza” mining project. This project was designed with an innovative proposal called “New Model of Socially and Environmentally Responsible Mining” and is a unique model in the mining sector that promotes sustainable community development, which seeks respect for human rights, social benefit for communities and environmental protection.
This new way of developing mining seeks to build a good relationship with the neighboring communities of the Project uses proven techniques to avoid and reduce damage to the environment.
Social risk is the biggest risk in high impact projects in the energy sector. Conflict with communities can cause reputational damage and cost dearly, either in delays or complete abandonment of a Project. Companies need to ensure the acceptance and support of the Project by communities to obtain the “Social License to Operate”.
Focused on education, recreation, community health, productive projects, festivals and other cultural activities. In some communities they provide infrastructure, equipment, supplies, school scholarships and other support.
In high impact projects, social witnesses are figures created to support, maintain and respect access to information and transparency during activities carried out as part of social, environmental and cultural management of projects in the energy sector. They can be local authorities, formal and informal leaders, or neighbors of communities located within the Area of Influence.
Pangaea World Foundation
Pangaea World Foundation is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to bridge the gap between efforts and results in conservation and humanitarian rescue projects. As an expert organization, it collaborates with local governments, civil society and other non-profit organizations to ensure that planned impacts are achieved and that resources are used effectively to achieve rapid results.
The Reef Rescue School is an ambitious pilot program that puts indigenous and local youth at the forefront of saving our planet, starting with coral reefs. In this bootcamp-style training program, students living along the shores of the Mesoamerican Reef are challenged to transform themselves, their communities and the future of the reef. The accomplishments of our students will be used to set the stage for a new path in conservation, where youth from neglected regions lead the rescue and protection of precious natural ecosystems.
The summer course and the After School Program are some of our pilot projects to introduce students at Secundaria Técnica Pesquera no. 7 to outdoor environmental education. This builds community, fosters engagement, raises standards, increases connection among students and develops a positive association around the school and its ecosystems. The outdoor education component of the Program represents many firsts for our students: their first time swimming, diving, kayaking and their first time connecting with nature in a healthy and fun way.
