In 2023 we publish our first sustainability report which marks an important milestone. Sunstone has continued its efforts to provide a safe, healthy and diverse workplace, which is essential to being able to attract and retain employees of the highest calibre. Our health and safety performance, as well as the representation of women within our technical teams, are steps in the right direction within our ESG strategy. We firmly believe that responsible mining can be transformative for the development of communities in Ecuador, and we are committed to being a part of this positive change. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to Sunstone’s staff, management and my fellow directors for their dedication and work during the past 12 months.
