In this series, we introduce you to the winners of Goldcorp’s Global Excellence Awards 2019.  The Awards were launched in 2014 and are held every year to celebrate excellence and recognize achievements and successes made by individuals and teams across our organization who are thinking innovatively, finding ways to improve our business and supporting our vision of Together, Creating Sustainable Value.

Tailings dams rank among the largest engineered structures in the world, sometimes reaching up to 300 metres in height.  These dams are designed to permanently contain finely ground mineral processing waste, a watery slurry of rock particles that are left behind after mineral extraction and are placed in an impoundment.

At Goldcorp, we are proud to have developed a longstanding relationship with Carleton University and launched the University’s Advancing Women in Leadership Program (AWLP) in 2014. In 2018, we built on this relationship with a sponsorship to increase the participation of Indigenous community and business leaders in the program.

Goldcorp is embracing innovation to make our operations safer, more productive and to help reduce our impact on the environment. We partner with like-minded suppliers and organizations to find innovative solutions to some of the challenges our industry faces.
