Society

Our economic activity as a mining company is the lifeblood of local communities. We have close ties to our neighbours because we share an interest in their long-term social, economic and environmental prosperity.

Society guiding principles:

  • Contribute to the development of the regions where we operate, participating in the improvement of the living conditions of our environment from a perspective of social responsibility.

Society topics

Being a sustainable company means working with sustainable partners who can deliver the goods and services that we require. By working with those who follow the same rules, we can be sure we are acting responsibly across everything we do. Tracking our partners ethical, social and environmental performance in a global market is increasingly complex, however. To make sure we are consistently vigilant we have developed an evolving approach which ensures we are effective.

In this effort, we prize local suppliers in our operating jurisdictions. Not only are they near enough for us to oversee effectively, but we can also support the growth of the neighbouring economy by actively sourcing local goods and services.

In 2024, 97% of our suppliers in Proyecto Riotinto were European (93% Spanish).

Atalaya is committed to prioritising sourcing and subcontracting from local companies. Local procurements provide advantages in terms of flexibility, risk mitigation and a quick response to Company requests. It also improves the local economy and brings value to the area. Only in cases where the local market cannot meet the demand, other national, European or global suppliers are used.

Atalaya has a procedure to regulate the procurement process for all goods and services, ensuring effective management in terms of cost, quality and deadlines, in accordance with the different regulations, as well as the Company’s general policies and procedures.

The origin of mining in Huelva dates back thousands of years. The region which is home to the Riotinto mines was exploited by the Tartessians, Phoenicians and Romans and evidence of their activity has been uncovered by expert historians and archaeologists.

Protecting, conserving and enhancing the value of the historical heritage is an essential part of the company’s commitment to society, as reflected in the Environmental Policy of Proyecto Riotinto.
