We are firmly committed to Colombia

Every day, in every project, at every level of Drummond, we consider the impact our actions have on our employees, our communities and our environment:
  • We strive to improve the education, health, and well-being of our employees and their families.
  • We invest significantly in the community initiatives, and we work closely with local government to design and implement programs for the development and benefit of our communities.
  • We continually work to manage the impacts of coal mining, transportation, and shipping as we develop and apply innovative sustainability techniques.
