In our community engagement, our Management System is grounded in a strategy of sustainable community development, and in respectful and coordinated work with the community and authorities, to achieve social well-being based on relations of harmony and trust.
This Management System is consistent with all laws and best practices and an internal system of standards that stresses social commitment: Code of Conduct, Sustainable Development Policy, social development guidelines and institutional values, among others.
EM-MM-210a.3
Our Code of Conduct incorporates policies and guidelines that reflect the principles of the United Nations Global Compact and OECD and CSR guidelines regarding sustainability, good practices and domestic and international standards on human rights, culture, traditions, regional vocation, and the sustainable development of local communities.
The Social Management Plan is one way we ensure continuity, integration and mainstreaming of operating process management. It covers each phase of Peñoles’ value chain, from exploration to the closure of operations to project construction and operation.
The Social Management Model provides for general education and awareness-raising in the internal and external communities, building shared knowledge, reflection and dialogue that strengthen our relations with the community.
Peñoles’ guidelines on social development embody our commitment to respect for culture, traditions, regional vocation, participative dialogue, skill-building and the development of sustainable communities, in an environment of trust with local communities, their inhabitants and authorities.

The social development model starts with the very shape of the social structure, in which Peñoles is an active member of the community. We involve ourselves in efforts to achieve social development and support the goals of society at large, harmonizing and recognizing the guiding role of the State as administrator, and the shared responsibility of the community in building social well-being.

Communities are one of the five stakeholder groups we define as a priority. Our pledge is to be a socially responsible company, respectful of nature and supportive of the self-development of the communities where we operate and of which we are part. To do so, we have social diagnosis mechanisms that determine the economic, social and environmental impact of our operations. The aim is to magnify the positive impact of our operations, and to avoid, mitigate or remediate any negative impact they might have on the environment and society.
G4-MM5, G4-MM8, G4-MM9,EM-MM-210a.3
The approach we bring to our impact assessment is one of full respect for human and indigenous rights, which is embedded in our management model. Peñoles has no operations adjacent to indigenous lands or where artisanal and/or small-scale mining is practiced; nor have there been any resettlements or mobilization of communities because of such operations.
Constant and ongoing engagement with the communities to which we belong contributes to healthy understanding and stronger relations of trust, cooperation, local development and well-being. The social management model ensures the creation of shared value with communities and authorities; it is contained in a cycle of continuous improvement, as follows:

AXES OF ACTION
Educational Excellence
In this “new normal” brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, Peñoles refocused its educational actions in order to keep its promise to work together with stakeholders, stressing support for education through digital platforms.
For 16 years now, Peñoles has allied with the Instituto Mexicano para la Excelencia Educativa, A.C., a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving educational quality, to create a professional refresher program for teachers, administrators, authorities, parents and students of schools in areas neighboring our mining units, benefiting children and youth in these communities.
Training path for teachers
To address the new challenges of learning during a pandemic, this year virtual workshops were held on the topic of “Being a mediator of meaningful online learning.” Before lockdown measures began, classroom courses were given on “Neurosciences as a foundation for learning” and “Evaluating to improve,” involving 345 administrators and teachers from local communities. The workshops benefited 22,393 students from 82 educational institutions at different levels.
We also continued our training path for parents, providing a space for reflection on the responsibilities of being a parent, and for promoting a harmonious environment for our children’s growth.

Peñoles FIRST Robotics Program
It was in 2011 that Peñoles first decided to inspire passion for science and technology through fun and holistic learning in the Peñoles FIRST alliance, in which youth can acquire the tools and experience needed to support their academic progress.
To create value in this initiative, other activities have been incorporated to strengthen technical and life skills in the same schools, as well as feats of knowledge in regional and world events. The VelaBots team from Velardeña, Durango, attended the world robotics competition in Arkansas.
The program involved 719 students—281 women and 438 men, mentors and lead coaches for 23 Peñoles FIRST robotics teams at the Torreón events and the Mexico City regional championship.
This year volunteers from Peñoles FIRST donated their time to design face shields and deliver basic supplies and support to vulnerable groups, as solidarity actions during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Peñoles Chorus at Met-Mex plant
Peñoles Chorus
Since 2008 we have had a space dedicated to promoting art, convinced that this can help youth build self-respect and talent and strengthen the social fabric. The Peñoles Chorus is a program designed to bolster inter-family relations, develop life skills and cultivate the values that help build better citizens.
Children from the Comarca Lagunera region attend daily singing lessons, not only enjoying this pleasurable exercise but also strengthening their life skills. During the year, 359 children from neighborhoods adjoining Met-Mex participated in the Peñoles Chorus.
Since its founding, the chorus has staged a number of performances, among them a concert with the Coahuila Chamber Orchestra, a concert at the Isauro Martínez Theater and performances at the Nazas Theater in Torreón. Also, thirty chorus members participated in the Voices in Movement concert at the Nazas Theater with famed Mexican tenor Javier Camarena.
“They’ve aroused their interest in culture, in music, in discipline; the kids that come to the chorus are outstanding kids.”

Metals Museum
The Metals Museum, created 13 years ago in the heart of Peñoles’ Metalúrgica Met-Mex plant, is a place where people can come together and learn. In its ten permanent exhibit halls visitors can learn about geology, mineralogy and the history of metallurgy, as well as current mining-metallurgy processes, sustainable development, art, the uses of minerals, metals and chemicals in daily life.
Because of the public health emergency, the museum was only open for in-person visits until March, and after that on virtual platforms. During that initial in-person period, 872 students and teachers visited the museum as part of class trips; 415 people from the general public and 1,578 participants in workshops, lectures and other activities, including the following:
Educational services
To offer didactic support to elementary school students with limited access to social networks, Peñoles prepared and printed booklets entitled Tours and activities in the Metals Museum for boys and girls at home, and distributed 3,544 copies to 18 schools neighboring the Torreón, Bermejillo and Velardeña units.
Workshops were also held on topics such as “Youth of Laguna in science” and “The periodic table in the classroom,” and talks and panels were held for high school and preparatory school students and teachers like “The importance of soil in producing healthy food,” “Technological innovation,” “What’s a virus?” and the panel “Vocational influencers,” among others.
Publicizing science, technology and art
In the context of the pandemic, Peñoles sponsored demonstrations, experiments and activities to promote hygiene measures, healthy eating, staying fit and correctly using face masks. It also held workshops and published material about jewelry made with organic materials as well as others on reading, skin care, home vegetable gardens, ecology, sustainable development, earth sciences and environmental care.
The museum broadened the reach of its content through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Blog Word Press, a total of 225 productions that were played 91,747 times and reached 398,019 viewers.

CETLAR provides education in human, technical, administrative, business culture and volunteer skills to youth in communities where Peñoles is present. Its purpose is to strengthen their personal and professional development by providing them with technical certification through a comprehensive, excellent education.
Since 1993, under a dual training scheme, we have been providing a well-rounded education to our students with a focus on science and technology in order to meet the company’s need for highly qualified employees. Students acquire skills both in the classroom and on the job, creating the competitive advantage of performance in keeping with international standards.
Students obtain the following incentives:
CETLAR has graduated 766 certified technicians to date. As of December 2020, 136 scholarship students were enrolled in electrical-mechanical and electricity instrumentation skills.
Program graduates can then join Peñoles for work in various positions in the business units. This also contributes to the company’s ability to hire certified local labor.

Building environmental awareness
We help build environmental awareness in local communities as well as in the company, through campaigns both in person and online that deal with water stewardship, biodiversity, reforestation and forest rehabilitation, tree donation, waste management campaigns and recycling talks, among others. The purpose of this awareness-building effort is to encourage communities to celebrate, volunteer and take collective action for the environment, based on the key concerns outlined by the United Nations.
These are some of the highlights of the 81 environmental actions involving more than 4,781 people:
413-1-a.ii, 413-2
In the Torreón community near Met-Mex, we monitor lead concentrations in ambient air, because even when levels are kept below regulatory amounts, an environmental contingency might cause inconvenience to local residents.
In a parallel effort, the Environmental Health Unit continuously monitors blood lead levels in residents who live in the neighborhoods close to the plant, particularly children. As the graph shows, there has been a noticeable declining trend in blood lead levels in people who live near the plant.

Community projects
We support economic self-development initiatives in coordination with communities and authorities, to promote well-being and sustainable development.
Brucellosis- and tuberculosis-free herds at the Tizapa unit
Because local livestock farmers have recently had to comply with new requirements from the National Sanitation, Food Safety and Agro-Food Quality Service, and the US Department of Agriculture, we continued a sampling project in a three-part collaboration with farmers and the municipality of Zacazonapan.
With the participation of livestock producers, the assistance of Peñoles, and veterinary physicians from UNAM, this year the Ministry of Agricultural Development and the municipal authorities of Zacazonapan presented various Brucellosis- and Tuberculosis-free Herd certifications. The document states that the livestock in question is of good quality and meets all standards for sale within or outside of Mexico.
The initiative has the following benefits:
This program contributes greatly to the economic diversification and development of the region’s vocation.

Peñoles – ProEmpleo
Peñoles, in partnership with Fundación ProEmpleo A.C., holds workshops that help building a community of entrepreneurs and businesspeople with the talent and drive to get ahead, and the commitment to strengthen means of subsistence for local communities.
During the year, 132 people received training in workshops on “Enterprise,” “Improve your business” and “Start your business,” which covered topics like human development, administration, marketing, finance, sales and social responsibility for businesses. Specialized business consultants gave 50 business advice workshops. With the participation of entrepreneurs in these workshops, participants could identify areas of opportunity for developing their enterprising and business capacities.
We encourage people who want a more dignified, productive life, giving them training and advice on self-employment or on starting up or improving family micro-businesses; to create jobs, help keep existing jobs, and give a boost to enterprising ideas that strengthen environmental, social and economic development.
The “Enterprise” workshop, promoted by the Capela unit in the community of Tehuixtla, Guerrero, was designed based on the Entrepreneurs project, identifying human capital and business ideas. Forty-eight entrepreneurs took part, from seven communities: Tehuixtla, Teloloapan, Ahuehuetla, Zacatlán, Zacuapa, El Capire and Tepozonalquillo.
The initiative identified and characterized entrepreneurs and small and mid-sized businesses, which will then be given administrative and/or technical training according to their needs. Participants receive assistance and advice to gradually learn and develop technical, administrative and financial skills. Time limits will be set for this assistance, along with training on legal rights and obligations.
The initiative resulted in the creation of nine companies that were incorporated to our local supply chain under a financial support mechanism. The new local companies are engaged in areas like personnel transport, cleaning and food service, generating 88 direct jobs in the community.

Peñoles Community Center
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying sanitary measures imposed by the authorities, Peñoles temporarily closed its community centers to protect people’s health, but we continued reaching out to our neighbors and community via virtual means.
Community centers are spaces for people to meet, build community visions, create togetherness and development, with classes in computers, cooking, sewing, beauty care, English, personal advancement, tae kwon do, computers for kids, music, drawing, tai chi and crafts. Over the course of the year, 938 people attended the center in person, 327 of them receiving diplomas.
The Peñoles Community Center in Torreón, opened in 2016, has directly benefited residents of the twelve neighborhoods adjoining the Met-Mex metallurgical plant, as well as other inhabitants of the Comarca Lagunera region.
The purpose of this space is to build relations between the company and the community in a place where people can learn life and work skills, develop abilities, learn about culture, practice sports and pursue their talents, all of which leads to a harmonious meeting of stakeholders.
The virtual activities of the community center—conducted via Facebook—prompted an increase in followers, from 5,841 to 8,319, and its posts reached a total of 597,249 people.
Community committees
At present Peñoles is working with 30 committees from communities near its facilities, helping to build sustainable communities, strengthen local organizations and social leadership, promote teamwork and shared responsibility, and design solutions to social challenges and problems.
IMSS clinic, Tizapa unit
Volunteer work
For 18 years, Peñoles has worked in an alliance with the Mexico United Way Fund, through which we encourage volunteering and help solve the problems of our community by directly involving company employees in these efforts.
Volunteer committees are involved in deciding on the social investment and support that will be given to nonprofit organizations working in communities near our operations, with funds donated through employee payroll deductions.
During the year, Peñoles worked on various projects with strategic community allies.
In the area of health, we donated equipment, supplies and medical instruments to institutions in various parts of Mexico, like X-ray equipment to the University Children’s Hospital of Torreón, personal protection supplies to IMSS and ISSSTE clinics, reclining chairs for family members of people being treated in Coahuila hospitals, and a dental campaign for elementary school students in Bermejillo, among others.
In the sphere of education, we channeled support for the advancement of disadvantaged youth, renovated bathrooms and helped build a cistern, provided maintenance to classrooms and prepared recreational spaces, along with other kinds of support to various charitable organizations in Sonora, Coahuila, Zacatecas, Chihuahua, State of Mexico, Guerrero and Durango.
Social investment through Peñoles’ volunteers and employees benefited approximately 3,169 people in vulnerable situations.

Peñoles – Somos el Cambio Alliance
Somos el Cambio is a nationwide program that encourages boys and girls, youth and adults to work for their urban and rural communities through the Design Thinking methodology.
Participants are able to bring about meaningful positive change in their communities, supporting self-management, a tool that provides abilities for social development and for addressing the needs of a specific group.
In the 10th year of this partnership, Peñoles introduced 24 local community impact projects, competing with 18,764 other projects conducted across the nation. Among these a school participating in the Fuerza Eólica del Istmo unit won an award for its outstanding project.
18,764

Fuerza Eólica del Istmo: Life and Technology Project (VITEC)
As part of this project, the Abraham Castellanos primary school in El Espinal, in the municipality of Juchitán, Oaxaca, was recognized for its outstanding initiative involving the entire student community, teachers, neighbors, local organizations and authorities, in restoring and equipping a multimedia classroom for the school. Participants collected 2.5 metric tons of PET—making El Espinal a trash-free municipality—and received a donation of 13 computers from the municipal government and collaboration with other recycling-related causes, benefiting the Asociación Mexicana de Ayuda a Niños con Cáncer (AMANC) in Oaxaca.
Mining Fund
The Mining Fund, created by the federal government in 2014, has raised the quality of life for inhabitants in mining production areas by investing in social infrastructure, the environment and positive urban development in these communities.
Peñoles has supported initiatives to apply this funding to investment in the mining areas where it is present, through dialogue and lobbying with representatives of the federal, state and municipal governments involved.
“We worked together with the community authorities to restore common areas.”
Zinc Saves Kids
Peñoles is currently involved in a project called Zinc Saves Lives, a strategic partnership with UNICEF and the International Zinc Association (IZA) and its members in Mexico. Peñoles signed this agreement as a member of IZA in 2016.
The project’s goal is to amass scientific evidence to help update Mexican regulations regarding the use of zinc in acute diarrheic illnesses in children under five, in the third poorest segment of Mexico’s population.
The most important phases of this project during the 2018-2020 period were the following:
Among the conclusions of this study are that strategies are needed to help children prevent and control zinc and iron deficiency, particularly under the age of two, a crucial age at which their growth and development may be compromised.
In Mexico, UNICEF has been championing and protecting children’s rights for more than 60 years. It works in 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives and defend their rights.
Peñoles - Fundación UNAM Alliance
Peñoles actively works to support a culture of preventive wellness through healthy lifestyles and support for health authorities’ actions in the community, offering free optometric and dental attention and general checkups for children, youth and vulnerable adults in the communities neighboring our operations.
Since 2013, Peñoles’ commitment to health has been embodied in its partnership with Fundación UNAM (FUNAM). In February 2020 a Health Day was held at the Madero unit, which included a number of activities and 930 medical checkups.
This FUNAM program is staffed by university medical students completing their social service requirement, in coordination with Peñoles and local health authorities. They provide service in communities surrounding our operations in Durango, Zacatecas, and the State of Mexico. Last year 4,612 checkups were given to 2,032 men and 2,580 women.

Grievances and requests
413-1a.viii
The administration of grievances and requests, which is part of our Social Development Management System, is a mechanism for open dialogue with stakeholders.
In 2020 we fielded 29 grievances from local communities, 28 of which were addressed and one is in process.
Through management and joint work with communities and authorities, 422 requests were received regarding support for sports, educational and cultural activities, infrastructure, health and family togetherness, among others.
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged us to continue working for sustainable development of local communities. On the principles of awareness, trust, cooperation and solidarity, we will be strengthened by the challenges, as we look towards the future.
