Environment
At Cerrejón, we are striving to carry out our mining activities while respecting our neighbouring communities and the environment.
Every year, we invest in environmental programs to protect the tropical dry forest, regional fauna and flora, and various rivers and creeks, as well as prevent and mitigate impacts on air and water quality from our operations.
