Chilean copper giant Codelco, under growing pressure from global clients demanding sustainable mining credentials, is trying to give itself a green makeover by investing in electric buses, cactus nurseries and recycling metal materials and tools.
The state firm - the world's largest producer of the red metal, which is battling to rev up production and turn around a slide in output - has focused the drive on its flagship El Teniente mine, 75 km (47 miles) south of the capital Santiago and the world's largest underground copper mine.
This shift toward greener practices is essential for reducing environmental impact in the mining sector.

This move sets an important precedent for other mining companies, demonstrating that large-scale industrial operations can and should align with climate goals.
