Mining sustainability and development in Antofagasta

Overview

The OECD, in collaboration with regional government and academic institutions, is launching 12 guidelines in Antofagasta to better translate mining wealth into local well-being. These guidelines address economic diversification, social cohesion, and environmental protection to bridge the gap between high GDP and lower life expectancy or innovation in mining regions.

Following these institutional efforts, specific industry actors are implementing localized sustainability initiatives. Antofagasta Terminal Internacional is adopting an ESG-focused roadmap aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, Teck has introduced electric vehicles at the Quebrada Blanca Maritime Terminal as part of a broader strategy to utilize renewable energy and reduce carbon intensity.
