Cerrejón is part of the Glencore group. We are one of the largest open-pit coal export mining operations in the world. We have 40 years of experience and an integrated operation that spans coal extraction, railway transportation, and export, delivering energy products to various parts of the world from the heart of La Guajira, Colombia.
We are committed to the sustainable progress and development of La Guajira and the country. We operate under high standards in safety, health, environmental protection, and business ethics, prioritizing the well-being of our employees, neighboring communities, and the natural environment.
Our team is made up of over 13,000 employees and contractors. We provide families with their livelihoods, via direct employment at our operations and indirect employment via contractors and our use of local suppliers and this is reflected in the significant percentage of Guajiro employees who are part of our company.
Purpose
Our purpose is to responsibly source the commodities that advance everyday life. We aim to produce and export coal efficiently, reliably, and profitably while striving to meet the highest standards in safety, health, environmental protection, and corporate ethics, and contributing to the progress of our people, our neighboring communities, and La Guajira.
