Supply chain
We prioritize local businesses and develop local supply chains whenever it is commercially viable.
Building local capacity
We understand the importance of developing the local economy wherever we operate. To do this, we prioritize local businesses and develop regional supply chains wherever possible.
First Quantum is proud of these achievements and the positive impact in the places where we mine, but we always seek to go further. The monitoring and performance of our suppliers is a process of continual improvement.
“Our mines not only deliver the metals required for the global energy transition and socio-economic progress, but also provide significant contribution in the countries in which we operate. This extends beyond the taxes and royalties paid to national governments, to employment, training and local supply chains,” FQM CEO, Tristan Pascall
