Elements in the Cerrejón Way

The Eleven Commandments
  1. We intend to operate our business with an increased external focus and greater openness to the outside world.
  2. We aspire for the communities we relate with to be pleased to have us as part of their environment and to want us to continue to be part of it.
  3. We will seek support from independent entities in our search for continuous improvement and to validate our alignment with international standards.
  4. We will work towards sustainable development of neighbouring communities. We believe that not only is this a moral imperative, but also essential for our business: Cerrejón is sustainable only if La Guajira is sustainable.
  5. Particularly in the context of CSR, we believe that mere legality is not sufficient.
    This is why we seek to “do the maximum possible, not the minimum necessary”.
  6. We recognize transparency to be a fundamental principle for community engagement.
  7. We are determined to continue to build trust with all our stakeholders.
  8. We aspire and commit to be at the forefront of responsible mining in Colombia and the world.
  9. We will strive to be more innovative, more open to change and more open to participatory processes in our internal and external relations.
  10. We will strive to continue to build a trusting relation with our employees.
  11. We will work to generate a culture of empowerment, self-control, and autonomy throughout Cerrejón.
