About
Pan American Silver provides enhanced exposure to silver through large silver reserves and catalysts to grow silver production.
Pan American Silver has adopted policies, standards, and guidelines that articulate the way our directors, officers and employees are expected to behave and guide our business. Our Global Code of Ethical Conduct provides the foundation for responsible business conduct and defines the key principles for operating ethically and in compliance with the law, for workplace relationships, and working with COIs. Our policy commitments and standards are based on industry best practices, international norms and performance standards, and respond to COI expectations.

We are members and supporters of industry associations that help us advance our sustainability performance. Our participation provides a forum to learn from and dialogue with our peers, as well as a platform through which we collaborate and contribute to industry best practices. We also take part in initiatives that help address key sustainability challenges of relevance to our Company and COIs.
In 2020, our CEO signed the BlackNorth Initiative’s CEO pledge committing Pan American Silver to take steps to end anti-Black systemic racism.
Through our membership in MAC, we are currently implementing the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) performance system. Our TSM performance is discussed in the Sustainability Governance and Management section.
We are working with the Silver Institute on a new study to assess and communicate silver’s unique role in low-carbon energy solutions.

The program will put emphasis in COVID-19 related issues.
