Creating Healthy Workplaces in Peru

At Hudbay, we aim to safeguard and enhance the well-being of our employees. We prioritize creating healthy work environments and continuous improvement, recognizing these as fundamental elements for competitiveness, productivity and sustainability.

At our Constancia operation in Peru, we have implemented several measures and programs designed to proactively mitigate occupational risks, promote healthy behaviours and integrate well-being considerations into our daily activities and decision-making processes.

As a testament to these efforts, in 2023, Constancia received the “Healthy Company Management” certificate from SGS Peru, one of the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification companies. The recognition is based on an evaluation of our management practices, processes and systems related to health and well-being against guidelines established by the World Health Organization and International Labour Organization.

These include:

  • Occupational health and safety – Measures to ensure the safety and well-being of workers, prevent accidents, minimize exposure to hazardous substances and comply with safety regulations.
  • Mental health and well-being – Programs aimed at reducing stress, promoting work-life balance and creating supportive environments for employees.
  • Ergonomics – Efforts to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and create workspaces that support the physical health of our workforce.
  • Health promotion – Initiatives that promote healthy lifestyles, physical activity and preventive health measures.
  • Inclusive and non-discriminatory practices – Commitments to promote diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination and create an environment where all employees feel valued and respected.

This certification highlights our commitment to prioritizing employee well-being and establishing a workplace that meets and surpasses the highest health and wellness standards.
