1. Impacts, risks, and opportunities management
Following the Human Rights Due Diligence process and meeting the company's commitments, a social baseline and a Human Rights Impact Assessment were developed in 2022.
These were carried out with the assistance of independent external experts who worked in the field with the participation of the communities and supporting the empowerment of the legitimately recognized authorities. As a result, it was the communities themselves who identified the impacts and the necessary mitigation measures.
We had the support of Mashiguenga and Ashaninka indigenous leaders who were in charge of implementing the surveys by conducting interviews with community leaders and chiefs, discussion groups, and traditional authorities. The study gathered the opinions from the interviewees, as well as the collective imaginary and worldview reflected in the discourse of the indigenous communities. This information was contrasted with focus groups in gatherings and meetings with the leaders and members of the communities of Nuevo Mundo, Porotobango, Kitepampani, Shivankoreni, Camisea, and Carpintero Kiriguetty.
The main social impacts were related to the ILO Convention No. 169, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights; and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights:
