en.Wedoany.com Reported - At the Exponor 2026 trade fair, Sierra Gorda SCM recognized 11 of its suppliers for their participation in the "Compromiso que Circula" (Circulating Commitment) initiative. Launched by the mining company in 2025, the initiative encourages contractor companies to pay vehicle circulation permits (permisos de circulación) in the communities where they operate.

In March 2026, following the payment of circulation permits for over 2,500 light vehicles, the Municipality of Sierra Gorda received a total of 625 million pesos. These funds provide new financial resources for local government-managed projects in education, health, and welfare.

Sandra Montiel, Vice President of Supply Chain at Sierra Gorda SCM, stated that the company's call to its suppliers received a positive response, aligning with the requirements of responsible mining outlined in its sustainability policy. She noted that multiple suppliers voluntarily joined the initiative, reflecting a shared vision on how to conduct mining responsibly and in close connection with the community. She also emphasized that this achievement stems from collaboration between the company, the municipality, and suppliers, aiming to contribute to local development, and plans to further expand this action by engaging suppliers of personnel transport vehicles.

The "Compromiso que Circula" initiative is part of Sierra Gorda SCM's community relations strategy, designed to strengthen ties with surrounding communities and generate a positive impact. Additionally, through its Community Trainee Program (Programa Trainee Comunitario), the company has provided training and employment opportunities for local residents over the past decade, and has launched several initiatives in the areas of health, education, and the environment.
