CSR Approach
Operating sustainably is essential to our success. We have corporate social responsibility policies, systems, plans and practices in place, and commit to them everywhere we operate. It makes us better at what we do – a lesson we’ve learned through experience.
“Hudbay has always had an effective enterprise risk process and now it is more formalized across the mine site and business unit levels.”

An accountant by training, Liz Gitajn brings experience gained both inside and outside the mining industry to her role. Prior to joining Hudbay in 2015, she worked for close to a decade in the gold sector, including five years with a senior producer that operated 27 mines. She has been actively involved in assessing and managing risk – “operational risk, financial risk, strategic risk and compliance risk” – since 1992. Liz observes that Hudbay has “always had an effective enterprise risk process,” but her background has helped her further formalize that process, and better introduce it to “the mine site level and the business unit level.” By working with people “closest to any given situation,” Liz gets the benefit of “educated, skilled evaluations” that help her develop and implement “effective risk management programs and processes,” as well as mitigation strategies that can have a company-wide impact.

An engineer by training, Terry Linde has been a leader on many mining initiatives, in many different locations, over the course of his 35 years in the business, including as Director of Projects for Constancia, where he worked from 2011 until 2015. Along with gathering experience, he has developed a global network of connections, which make an essential contribution to his new role. As Terry notes, “I pride myself on being able to assemble and manage high-performance teams. That’s what projects are all about.” Currently focused on Rosemont, Terry is helping to lay the groundwork for development and making sure that lessons learned at Constancia, another large-scale open pit mine, are applied to the project. More broadly, he’s also leading a team focused on extending “a culture of excellence” in terms of executing projects at Hudbay. That effort includes “documenting processes and procedures” that can be used by “future teams for whatever project is on the horizon.”
