The Company\u2019s contribution reinforces its commitment to sustainability and the strengthening of local MSMEs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the goal of driving local economic development and fostering the circular economy, Collahuasi\u2019s C20+ Project delivered a significant donation of recycled wood to nine entrepreneurs from Iquique, Alto Hospicio, Pozo Almonte, and Pica.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to strengthen local entrepreneurship while promoting the reuse of construction surplus materials, contributing to a more circular economy in the region.<\/p>\n

The donated wood \u2014originating from works carried out at the mining site\u2014 will allow beneficiaries to advance projects related to furniture manufacturing, handicrafts, pallets, and community space improvements, supporting both small businesses and social organizations. This approach reinforces Collahuasi\u2019s vision of creating solutions that generate economic, social, and environmental value in the territories where it operates.<\/p>\n

One example is Muebler\u00eda R\u00fastica Anguil\u00fa<\/em> in Pica, which will expand its showroom and boost its growth thanks to the donation. Meanwhile, the Nomadesert Cultural Organization<\/em> will use the materials to restore the Anati\u00f1a site, located in front of the Pampa del Tamarugal National Reserve, with the purpose of developing community spaces and strengthening the cultural identity of the area. In turn, SETCAT Ingenier\u00eda<\/em>, a services company in Pozo Almonte, will use the wood to manufacture pallets for transporting mining machinery, optimizing costs and improving its operations.<\/p>\n

Mar\u00eda Luisa Arecheta, Senior Communities Supervisor of the C20+ Project, explained that the initiative reflects coordinated work across different areas of the Company\u2019s project: \u201cWe conducted a survey of construction surpluses at the site, identifying high-quality materials that could have a second life within the community. This donation not only reduces waste, but also supports the growth of local MSMEs, turning a resource into an opportunity,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

Through this initiative, Collahuasi reaffirms its purpose of challenging the present to contribute to a better society, promoting projects that connect innovation with local needs and reflect the value of working alongside entrepreneurs, organizations, and local stakeholders for the benefit of Tarapac\u00e1.<\/p>\n
