Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

At Yamana, we value and are deeply committed to advancing diversity and inclusion throughout our organization, in Quebec and wherever we operate around the world. Our team has established a diversity and inclusion policy that fosters a culture of belonging and ensures that all employees are treated with dignity and respect, free from conscious and unconscious bias.

As the project advances, we incorporate our diversity and inclusion philosophy into everything we do. We want to ensure that our practices and corporate culture are respectful of diversity in all its forms; that includes the representation of women, Indigenous peoples, persons living with disabilities, visible minorities, age, culture and geographic origin, in the evaluation of candidates for senior management and in hiring for all roles in the company. For example, women represent 52% of our project team in Rouyn-Noranda... a very high percentage in the mining industry. We are very proud of that!

We also invest in community initiatives that mirror our commitment to diversity and inclusion, which is a key focus of our community support program. Finally, we provide equal opportunities in our sourcing practices while upholding ethical business principles, which opens the door to competition from diverse suppliers.

We expect all employees, consultants and partners to follow our lead, identifying where there may be gaps in representation and creating measures for improvement.

Naturally, we are open to any recommendations that might help promote diversity and inclusion in our teams, practices, and corporate culture. Please do not hesitate to contact us with ideas!
