Business Has Never Been More Critical in Advancing Gender Equality

The adage, “behind every great man, there is a great woman,” has officially — and irretrievably — been relegated to the history books. In its place comes the understanding that behind every woman is a powerful and growing network of women who have, and are helping to, pave the way.

When I joined Ceres more than a decade ago, I was privileged to experience firsthand the power of working under a female CEO and a gender-balanced leadership team. Today, even as the organization has quintupled in size, Ceres maintains this gender parity.

Xylem Volunteers Build Homes in Houston After Hurricane Harvey

Cerro Negro Local Entrepreneurs Contest

In late 2017, Goldcorp’s Cerro Negro mine in Perito Moreno, Argentina, helped develop a “Local Entrepreneurs Contest” together with Fundación Iniciativa and the city hall.

A workshop on business ventures launched the contest and provided the participants with the opportunity to acquire tools to further develop their new ventures. They were offered training and financing.

The month-long contest received a total of twenty-three applications, from which eight winners were selected. The assessment criteria included innovation of the products or services offered, management experience, sustainability considerations in areas such as social and environmental impact, safety, and return on investment potential.

Building Authentic Partnerships with Local Communities

Building strong community relationships is key to Goldcorp’s vision of creating sustainable, enduring value for communities: value that lasts beyond the operating life of our mines.

Roger Souckey, Director of Sustainability & HR at Goldcorp’s Coffee project, located approximately 130 kilometres south of Dawson City, Yukon, and the entire Coffee team, have been strengthening connections with local First Nation and community groups since the project was acquired in 2016. “We’re committed to establishing meaningful partnerships with governments, organizations and individuals, and supporting community development activities – all of which we hope will make a lasting, positive impact and bring Goldcorp’s vision for our Coffee project to life.”
