Official SOTRAMI S.A. Release — Post ID 10974 (Sep 2024)
We welcomed representatives from Fairtrade Max Havelaar, Switzerland’s leading fair-trade organization, to our Santa Filomena Mining Unit and Santa Filomena II Processing Plant in Sancos, Lucanas, Ayacucho.
The field visit provided an opportunity to strengthen institutional ties and demonstrate on site our responsible gold mining model, through which 92% of our annual output is exported as internationally certified ethical gold to accredited Swiss refineries.
Working sessions with Markus Staub, Peter Huber, Wilfredo García, and Julia Malquín Aráuz reviewed physical ore-chain traceability, underground occupational safety controls, permanent child-labor eradication, and community infrastructure funded by the Fairtrade Premium (USD 1,541,989.82 secured in audited fiscal year 2023).
