Case Study: Toromocho Minera Chinalco achieves smoother resettlement and compliant environmental monitoring with Borealis

How a mining project in Peru is using real time data to simplify community resettlement, track environmental data, and secure social acceptance

Toromocho Minera Chinalco, a mining company in Peru, faced the significant challenge of resettling a community of 5,000 people while securing social acceptance and complying with strict government environmental reporting. To manage this complex socio-environmental process, the company turned to vendor Borealis and implemented their stakeholder software application to interpret baseline data and track key metrics.

The Borealis application provided a centralized platform for managing stakeholder information, environmental monitoring, and local hiring initiatives. This solution enabled Chinalco to resettle the town on time and within budget, maintain social acceptance, identify and compensate vulnerable community members fairly, and hire a specialized local workforce by effectively leveraging existing data.
