About
Pan American Silver provides enhanced exposure to silver through large silver reserves and catalysts to grow silver production.
Biodiversity conservation and rehabilitation are priorities for the Communities of Interest (COIs) across all regions where we operate. Our sites are located within diverse and complex ecosystems, and we work diligently to minimize environmental impacts throughout the full lifecycle of
our mines. We recognize that mining activities must be carefully managed to limit environmental impacts such as habitat loss, and the degradation of water, soil, air, and natural landscapes. Responsible environmental practices not only help us protect ecosystems but also safeguard our social licence to operate, and reduce long-term regulatory, financial, and reputational risks.
Responsible environmental stewardship is also essential for maintaining strong community relationships and supporting the long-term resilience of our business. For this reason, our biodiversity strategy is grounded in the mitigation hierarchy, prioritizing the avoidance of impacts wherever possible, followed by minimizing, restoring, or setting impacts that cannot be avoided. We also focus on rehabilitating impacted ecosystems, particularly those previously affected by grazing, ranching, subsistence agriculture, and historical mining, through the restoration of native flora and fauna and supporting meaningful post mining land uses.
