Education
Our projects help to widen access to education for people close to our operations.
Quality and equality
We help local communities improve the quality and ease of access to education across a variety of ages groups, from early access to adult education. We work alongside governments and local leaders to help make it easier for anyone who wants to learn to get a good education.
Education that empowers equally
Our education programs help ensure equal education opportunities in the communities where we work. We collaborate with local governments to improve the quality of education for children and adults alike.
Keeping kids in school
Our primary and secondary scholarship programs are aimed at helping the most vulnerable children – those who are most at risk of dropping out of school early.
“The Cobre PANAMÁ scholarship had many opportunities. It included everything that was required to be in college. It was a privilege.”

We focus on the projects that matter most in our community
Education is one of our four key pillars for social sustainability projects, unearthed through conversations with local leaders who know what matters most to the communities where we operate.

Mining doesn’t have to cost the Earth.
We care for the places where we work because it matters to us, to our colleagues and the communities in which we work. Our environmental projects include water quality assurance, biodiversity protection, reforestation and climate change initiatives.
