We were pleased to host Chief Christine Walkem Chief of Cooks Ferry Indian Band and Chair, Board of Directors, Citxw Nlaka’pamux Assembly, in London, UK last week to speak to members of Women In Mining UK (WIM UK) about her lived experience and Nation-level vision to complex negotiations with industry and government. The conversation, hosted by moderator Carole Cable, former WIM UK Chair, spoke to the evolving landscape of Indigenous governance in Canada, where Nations are playing a central and essential role in shaping sectors including mining. Her perspective offered valuable lessons for global audiences interested in Reconciliation, rights‑based governance and more equitable models of partnership.
We were honoured to present alongside the Citxw Nlaka’pamux Assembly at the Canadian Indigenous Investment Summit in London, UK, this week, sharing a case study on how a new model of partnership and collaboration formed the basis of consultation for the Highland Valley Copper Mine Life Extension Project.

Construction is now underway on the new SAMU (Servicio de Atención Médica de Urgencias) centre in Pozo Almonte, Chile, marking a meaningful step forward for emergency health care in El Tamarugal province. When it’s completed, the centre will help ensure faster, more timely medical care for families in the area who currently travel more than an hour to the nearest advanced medical facility. The SAMU is supported by Teck Quebrada Blanca as part of our commitment to community development and improving quality of life in the Tarapacá region. We’re proud to keep moving forward together with the communities where we operate.
🔬 How do geckos stick to surfaces? How do crystals grow? What generates more electrical current – a fresh lemon or an old one? Student scientists attempted to answer these questions with a creative range of science projects at the annual St. Michael’s Science Fair in Trail, British Columbia – and impressed the judges from Teck Trail Operations at the same time. The students also demonstrated what happens to our food when we eat it, and even built a three stage gravel, sand and charcoal filter to clean dirty water. These were just a few of the many impressive submissions showcased this year. A big thank you to the judges from Trail Operations and the Trail Technical Facility for sharing their time, enthusiasm and expertise!
We are proud to release our 25th annual Sustainability Report, highlighting our 2025 performance in key areas, including support for communities, Indigenous Peoples, health and safety, diversity and climate. “This report highlights our continued focus on responsibly providing the critical minerals needed for global development and the energy transition,” said Jonathan Price, President and CEO. “As we advance our proposed merger with Anglo American plc and strengthen our sustainability performance, we remain committed to operating safely, supporting local communities and creating long-term value.”
March 8 is International Women’s Day, a global day to recognize and celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. ♀️ This year’s theme is “Give to Gain,” emphasizing the power of generosity and collaboration in forging gender equality. Each of us can contribute to this progress by giving our time, support and voices, whether through learning, sharing knowledge, mentoring or advocating for inclusion. On March 8 and every day, we thank and honour the women of Teck, whose leadership, skill and dedication strengthen our teams, our communities and our industry, and we commit to working towards gender equality year-round. Here’s to building a future where everyone thrives.💙
Día Internacional de la Mujer 2026: la década en la que aceleramos una minería más inclusiva 💜 En Teck, creemos que la equidad de género transforma culturas, equipos y territorios. En el Día Internacional de la Mujer, celebramos una década de trabajo sostenido para construir una minería más diversa y moderna, donde las mujeres crecen, se desarrollan y lideran. Durante los últimos 10 años hemos impulsado cambios profundos: 🔹 Crecimos de 16% a cerca del 30% de participación femenina en Chile. 🔹 La presencia femenina en cargos ejecutivos avanzó del 13% en 2021 al 21% en 2025. 🔹 Casi un tercio de las nuevas contrataciones corresponden a mujeres. 🔹 Más de 20 mil trabajadores y trabajadoras fueron capacitados en acoso sexual, laboral y violencia de género. 🔹 Creamos el Centro de Género e Inclusión para los sitios en faena, que ha acompañado y formado a más de 15 mil trabajadoras y trabajadores propios y contratistas. 🔹 Transformamos nuestra infraestructura: en 2024, todas nuestras operaciones ya contaban con salas de lactancia y estándares reforzados de seguridad en campamentos. Hoy reafirmamos nuestro compromiso de seguir abriendo espacios de desarrollo, liderazgo e igualdad para todas las mujeres que impulsan la minería del futuro.
The future of mining is gender equal. On the eve of International Women’s Day, March 8, a recent HeForShe roundtable event brought together Teck’s senior leaders with the next generation of mining professionals. Their candid conversations around allyship, barriers and what real inclusion looks like will continue to help shape our culture as a member of the HeForShe initiative.
