On June 15th, Kinross celebrated International Day of Women in Mining (IDWIM) which aims to further empower women to share their achievements and passion for the industry, and recognize the industry’s advancement on gender inclusion.
As a partner of International Women in Mining, Kinross participated in the global webinar ‘Equity in Mining is Everyone’s Responsibility’. Eduardo Magalhaes, Director, Human Resources, IT & Supply Chain, Kinross Brazil, spoke on the panel ‘Inclusive Workplace Design’ where he spoke about the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) initiatives ongoing in Brazil, including the new breastfeeding centre for employees, the importance diversity plays in the workforce, and the role each person has in creating an inclusive work environment.
