Engaging with Communities of Interest

Engagement with Local Communities of Interest (COIs)

Engagement with COIs, including local communities and Indigenous Peoples, our workforce, investment communities, industry associations, government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), business partners and customers, helps to enhance our mutual understanding of interests, concerns and aspirations, and strengthens relationships.

Teck conducts direct engagement, which involves speaking and working directly with COIs, as well as indirect engagement, which involves reviewing publications that reflect the expectations of our COIs. We engage directly with COIs on an ongoing basis. All our operations, exploration sites and projects — including sites in active closure — identify, prioritize and directly engage local and Indigenous governments and communities.

For more details on our approach to engagement with Indigenous Peoples and communities of interest, see Our Approach to Business and Sustainability, Our Approach to Relationships with Communities and Our Approach to Relationships with Indigenous Peoples.
