Community Relations

Yamana takes an active interest in the well-being of the communities surrounding our operations. We share the same air and soil, work with local suppliers, hire local employees and build relationships in the regions in which we operate. Yamana provides various sustainable economic development programs, and as a result, has strong community relations.

Open Doors Program

This program aims to establish, in a clear and transparent manner, better communications between Yamana and local communities. Employees and their families, students, mining association members and community representatives visit our mines to learn more about the Company’s vision, values, safety procedures and environmental management policies. In 2010, our operating mines hosted 95 site visits attended by 1,728 community members.

Integration Program

The Integration Program, which facilitates access to services focused on improving the quality of life for residents of communities surrounding our operations, supported 54 initiatives in the areas of healthcare, environmental education and awareness in 2010.

Partnership Seminars Program

Partnership Seminars are conducted within the communities surrounding our operations. As part of this program, Yamana accepts proposals to support local education, environmental, cultural, economic, and health projects and provides 70 percent of project financing. In 2010, the program supported 79 community projects focused on employment and income generation.
