Last year, we commissioned Aviseo Conseil to conduct an economic impact study of our operations in the province of Québec in Canada, including mining (Matagami Mine and Mine Raglan), smelting (General Smelting of Canada and the Horne Smelter) and refining (CCR and CEZinc).

Every year, we add $1.7bn in average value to the economy of Québec contributing to the employment of 8,825 people across the province. Dig deeper into the numbers here: https://www.glencore.ca/en/Media-and-insights/Insights/examining-our-economic-contribution-to-quebec

Wherever we operate, we have zero tolerance for child labour.

At Glencore we take our responsibility seriously and remain determined in our work to eradicate its root causes.

Hear David Brocas, Lead #Cobalt Trader, explain why investment in places like the Democratic Republic of the Congo is key to tackling the root causes of child labour.

We're working in partnership with the Fair Cobalt Alliance and local communities to tackle the challenges of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM).

As part of this, we have evolved our approach so that we can further explore how legal ASM can play a sustainable role in the DRC economy.

Together we will work towards encouraging #ResponsibleSourcing of cobalt to address human rights risks.

Child labour should not exist. At Glencore we do not tolerate child labour and work actively to eradicate its root causes.

In the DRC we are often confronted with the issue of child labour as a result of artisanal, and small-scale mining (ASM). While Glencore does not process, buy, or trade such material, we are determined to be a part of the solution, actively engaging with local communities.

#EndChildLabour2021

"I am a mother and I see how education ensures children's futures."

This is Paule, one of our employees at KCC in the DRC. Hear her discuss how we are tackling the root causes of child labour through vocational training activities and childcare during the school holidays.

Congratulations and thanks to the nurses, doctors and whole team at the CEZinc-Glencore Vaccination Clinic in Valleyfield, Canada who recently administered a Covid-19 vaccine to Ruven, their 5,000th patient. The clinic, which will be open until the end of August, supports the entire population of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, offering vaccinations to both Glencore employees and local residents.
