Yamana has been ranked as one of the top 50 companies in Canada

Mara’s Yamana Gold Company has been selected as one of Canada’s 50 Best Companies by the specialist publication Corporate Knights.

The company, which has had a continuous presence in Argentina for several years, was ranked 31st in the ranking and was the highest-ranked Canadian mining company. Recognition is made after a comprehensive assessment of measures of environmental, social, governance and economic factors.

The company’s sustainable management recognition covers both its headquarters in Toronto and its operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Canada. This is possible because each of the company’s assets operates in accordance with the guidelines of the world’s leading companies.

Prioritizing the health and well-being of its workers, caring for the environment, and creating shared benefits with host communities are essential components of all Yamana operations around the world.

The company’s portfolio includes operating mines such as Cerro Morro (Argentina), Minera Florida, El Peñon, Jacopina and Malartec of Canada and projects in progress such as WASAMAC in Canada and MARA in Catamarca, Argentina.
