Environmental degradation

Environmental degradation April 30, 2021 There is the Cerrejon thermal coal mine in Colombia jointly owned by Glencore and two other transnational companies, BHP and Anglo American whose expansion over the past 40 years is alleged to have caused environmental degradation and health problems for the local community. Glencore has also been blamed for contaminating the area around Peru s Cerro de Pasco mine, run by a local company, Volcan, in which the mining giant has a majority stake. The dangerously high levels of lead, arsenic, aluminium and manganese found in local water caused the Peruvian government to declare a health emergency in 2018 after several children fell ill with lead poisoning. In Glencore s Porco mine in Bolivia, there are allegations of child labour and other abuses.
