Aura Minerals

OUR PILLARS


Here, sustainability is structured around four areas of action: Employees, Environmental, Social, and Governance.

Based on an assessment of the impacts of our activities on each stakeholder group, we identified nine material topics, allocated across the axes of the Aura 360 Culture mandala, represented by each of the three colors.

In 2024, we began reviewing our materiality matrix by incorporating the concept of double materiality. In doing so, we ensure our initiatives remain aligned with stakeholder expectations and with the Company’s social, environmental, and governance challenges.

WORLD GOLD COUNCIL


Since 1987, the World Gold Council has brought together gold mining companies from around the world committed to the responsibility and sustainability of the sector.

Aura is in compliance with the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs) and the Conflict-Free Gold Standard (CFGS) of the World Gold Council.

The Responsible Gold Mining Principles were created to establish a clear and comprehensive framework of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices for gold mining. These principles aim to ensure that gold mining is conducted ethically, responsibly, and sustainably, aligned with the expectations of investors, communities, and other stakeholders.
