12 PERUVIAN INSTITUTE OF MINING ENGINEERS One of the fundamental principles guiding the development of the seal was its practical and implementation-oriented nature. More than serving as a declaration of intent, the objective was to develop a tool that would allow organizations to systematically assess their progress, identify opportunities for improvement, and strengthen their internal policies. For this reason, the structure of the seal was designed around verifiable criteria and a transparent evaluation process promoted by the sector itself. The call for applications for the first edition of the seal generated significant interest. In total, 420 organizations linked to the sector were invited to participate in the evaluation process, of which 39 chose to apply and submit their initiatives, programs, and results related to the promotion of gender equity within their organizations. Following a rigorous evaluation process, 24 organizations met the standards established by the seal. The distinction was awarded to twelve mining companies and twelve supplier companies that demonstrated tangible progress in reducing gender gaps and promoting more equitable workplace environments. The official presentation of the PERUMIN Gender Equity Excellence Seal took place during the closing ceremony of PERUMIN 37, becoming one of the convention’s most significant milestones and a clear signal of the sector’s commitment to advancing a more equitable and inclusive mining industry. From that moment onward, the PERUMIN Gender Equity Excellence Seal became a tangible demonstration of the mining ecosystem’s commitment to strengthening gender equity across the sector. More than a one-time recognition, it represents the beginning of a broader process aimed at promoting increasingly higher standards of best practices throughout the mining value chain. Within this context, the need also emerged for tools capable of guiding organizations in the progressive implementation of best practices. This guide seeks to contribute to that objective.
