We are certain that we are on the right path, contributing to improving the development conditions of the communities where we are present, with respect for the environment and minimizing the environmental impact of our operations.– Mensaje de la Dirección (Informe GRI CICE, 2022)

We know that from this point there is no turning back, that we must analyze and improve our areas of opportunity, maintaining processes that have been established to get here and we must restructure those that we have not yet been able to achieve, working hand in hand with each of us. our interest groups.
