Water Footprint The measurement of Human´s appropriation of freshwater resources.
Carbon FootprintThe measurement of the impact on Green House Gasses (GHG) due to our activities (quantified as CO2).
Methodology for Understanding“Measure, Mitigate & Compensation”

Benefits of Sustainable Mining Operations
Financing: Financial centers measure impacts, not only results associated with a project but also in their long- term effects.
Risk Control: Avoiding stopping operations .
Ethical Business: Responsible practices enhances company reputation.
Innovation: Efficiencies in operations, products and services.
Conclusions
Applying International protocols help to reduce risks.
Community empowerment – Win - Win Approach.
Identify early risks and on time action.
Ethical practices throughout the project cycle chain.
Sustainability is key to succeed in the new global context.
Being rather proactive than reactive.
