Community Relations
At POSCO Argentina, we understand mining development as a process carried out in close collaboration with the communities in our area of influence. We promote transparent dialogue, cultural respect and joint development to create a positive and lasting social impact.
Our Commitment
Joint Work and Active Participation
Our social management is based on a constant presence in the territory. We build trust through direct communication, listening to local concerns and sharing clear information about the progress of the Sal de Oro Project.
Dialogue Tables and Participatory Workshops
We organize regular meetings with community members to present project details in a visual and educational way. Through maps, plans and accessible technical explanations, we ensure that information is understood by everyone. In line with the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), we promote ongoing dialogue with local representatives for study validation and participatory monitoring.
- Transparent information on construction, operation and environmental care stages.
- Open local spaces for questions, concerns and suggestions.
- Active community participation in identifying opportunities for improvement.

Through our comprehensive program, we facilitate the integration of entrepreneurs, cooperatives and community-based companies into our supply chain, providing technical, administrative and financial support for their sustainable growth.
