Initiative context and objective
In 2022 and 2023, Teck Resources opened three Inclusion Centers at its operations in
Chile, Alaska and British Columbia. These centres, available 24/7/365, offer professional
counseling support, raise awareness to prevent, address and eradicate gender-based
violence, provide a safe space for open dialogue for employees and contractors as well as
well-being activities. The initiative was prompted by the recognition of the systemic barriers
to a respectful workplace, and the need for a respectful and safe workplace for all in order to
attract diverse talent. In Chile, this included a public commitment to achieving a goal of 30%
women in the workforce at their Quebrada Blanca mine.
Impact highlights
– More than 7,000 people, including employees and members of the broader
community, have attended training sessions on prevention of sexual harassment,
gender-based violence, sexual diversity and mental health.
– Women-identifying staff in mines in Chile increased from 16% in 2021 to 27% in
2023. In Alaska, the proportion increased from 20.7% in 2022 to 23.8% in 2024.The
Centers are one of many interventions in the efforts to increase gender representation
in the workforce.
– Over 150 people have approached the safe spaces to seek professional counselling
support.
