In a recent interview with CIM Magazine, O Trade Founder and Director Monica Ospina shared valuable perspectives on promoting transparent communication, stakeholder engagement and using mining as a catalyst for sustainable development in communities. Monica highlighted the importance of mitigating risk and maintaining a social license to operate through socio-economic inclusion, and how O Trade's innovative Capacity Mapping™ approach assesses local workforce capacity and identifies challenges and opportunities to promote inclusivity in project planning. In this interview, Monica also shares her on-the-ground experience in Ecuador to illustrate how Capacity Mapping™ respects Indigenous rights, leverages local capacity, and demonstrates the positive impact of mining. By creating a framework for collaboration based on fairness and community engagement, Capacity Mapping™ ensures lasting value for mining-impacted regions.
