The 17 Sustainable Development Goals provide a coherent, holistic, integrated framework for addressing the world’s most urgent sustainability challenges, where businesses have an important role to play. In September, GRI and the UN Global Compact released a publication to aid progress towards the SDGs by helping businesses improve their reporting and performance on the SDGs.
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.

It’s Earth Month and to celebrate, we’re reflecting on the progress we’ve made, the challenges we’ve faced and the road ahead. Throughout the month we’ll offer opportunities to hear directly from our leaders in animal well-being, the environment, workplace safety, hunger relief and more.

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 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.”
