There was cause for celebration at Cerro Matoso recently after it was named the best mining operation in Colombia for promoting gender equity.
The recognition was announced as part of the fourth annual Ranking of Gender Equity of Organizations (PAR), an event which aims to showcase and reward examples of good practice and policies which have created equal opportunities for men and women.
Organised by Aequales, a social enterprise which seeks to promote diversity and equal opportunities, this year’s PAR saw more than 200 companies participate.
Ricardo Gaviria, Vice President Operations at Cerro Matoso, said: “The presence of women in the different areas of Cerro Matoso increases every year.
