To all relevant stakeholders and interested parties
Following recent concerns raised by different actors about the status of our commitment to the Tabaco community, we would like to give an update on the progress of community initiatives.
Education for progress: driving capacity building in resettled communities
Education is a fundamental pillar for the development and sustainability of any community, which is why Cerrejón has prioritized education during the resettlement and post-resettlement stages.
Empowering resettlement: productive projects for self-sufficiency
One of the most challenging aspects of the resettlement process is supporting communities achieve economic self-sufficiency while also contributing to local development.
Building resilient communities: advancing access to public services in resettled communities
The development of a mine requires the acquisition of land, either to carry out mining activities or for environmental offset measures. In some cases, and always as a last resort, it is necessary to resettle communities to mitigate impacts generated by mining activity.
Cerrejón's pledge to long-term ecosystem sustainability and local biodiversity
Cerrejón has implemented a comprehensive program since it began operations which focuses on rehabilitating lands affected by open-pit mining and reforesting them with native species from the tropical dry forest. Since 1990, Cerrejón has rehabilitated almost 5,000 hectares of land previously affected by open-pit mining, achieving almost 90% rehabilitation of the areas intervened by mining activities.
