Provide increased access to sustainable and modern mining solutions in Latin America

Develop collaboration between Sweden and partner countries in Latin America within sustainable mining, in accordance with national development and transition plans. Contribute to technological enhancements and innovations to support local mining companies to achieve higher levels of economic productivity and create jobs as well as knowledge transfer regarding sustainable and responsible mining practices. Through early identification of environmental, social and economic sustainability risks associated with mining investments, Business Sweden, in collaboration with Swedish development cooperation and export financing organizations, can assist with measures required for project owners to find financiers for the projects and ensure that sustainability criteria are taken into account in the procurements. Activities include feasibility studies, delegation trips, seminars, workshops and reports focusing on managing the economic, social and environmental risks of projects and ensuring their positive development impacts. In this way, the Swedish resource base is engaged, which provides increased opportunities for Swedish companies to contribute to the development goals of Agenda 2030.
