Reminder of the Community Support Program's areas of involvement

Nearly a year has gone by since we established our Community Support Program, and we can report that our team is thrilled by the popularity and positive impact of the program on the communities concerned.

Although Yamana Gold supports causes in several fields, the program focuses primarily on three priority areas where its contributions can be a lever for positive community change:

• Indigenous communities and organizations
• The neighbourhood and immediate area
• Diversity and inclusion

Dozens of causes, events and organizations working on behalf of vulnerable groups and increasing the participation of individuals that have been traditionally underrepresented in social, economic and environmental development have received guidance and support throughout the past year.

For applicants young and old, social or environmental initiatives, neighbourhood or local projects, the benefits have been many!

Regardless of the type of support or the size of the contributions, Yamana recognizes its commitment to inclusion and the importance of diversity when it comes to cultural and geographic origins, age, skills, experience and gender. By celebrating cultures, traditions, wellbeing and sustainable development in a variety of possible areas, the program's primary aim is to help create resilient communities that will thrive beyond the mine.

The selection committee that receives and studies applications is eager to build on the experiences of recent months to further develop its community support program in 2023. Each application received is carefully examined against the award criteria set out in the program.
