Punavia · Social performance for mining · Peru

The operating arm of social performance at altitude.

We turn territorial presence and social investment into recurring, measurable and demonstrable programs across mining areas of influence.

The context

Operating at altitude means operating across gaps

High-altitude mining and industrial operations coexist with communities that face long distances to basic services. And social performance is no longer measured by what is invested, but by what can be demonstrated.

Healthcare hours away

Basic care is concentrated in the main towns; the community waits or simply cannot get there.

Interventions that leave no evidence

Isolated campaigns with no records or follow-up: heavy logistics and little institutional memory.

Many providers, no traceability

Clinic, NGO and consultant working separately: several contracts and no shared territorial planning.

Growing demand for evidence

Communities, government and investors expect verifiable social outcomes, not investment alone.

Our purpose

“That living at altitude should never limit anyone’s health, education or opportunities.”

The Punavia method

A cycle, not a project

First we deliver care and measure. Then we understand the gap, design, execute and demonstrate. At program close, we measure again.

1
Deliver care + measure

Real care on the ground, recording every case from day one.

2
Interpret + investigate

Quantified gaps and, where it adds value, applied research.

3
Design

A recurring program built on the territory’s own data.

4
Execute

Periodic presence, follow-up and continuity between visits.

5
Demonstrate

SDG and ESG indicators ready for your sustainability reporting.

Each turn of the cycle is compared against the previous measurement: that is how change is demonstrated, not just activity.

What we do

Three intervention pillars, one layer of evidence

Mobile units, equipment and technology are means of delivery. What you contract is continuous, measurable territorial capacity, with a single operator coordinating the company, government, partners and the community.

Health care in a high-Andean communityHealth
  • A health baseline that opens the program with real care from day one.
  • Recurring programs in primary and oral health, with follow-up between visits.
  • Punavia Monitor: health of workers and critical personnel at altitude.
What this means for your operationContinuous, demonstrable healthcare presence in your area of influence.
Students in technical trainingEducation
  • A school program (grades 9–11) with a pathway to a technical qualification.
  • Certified short vocational courses for community adults and contractors.
  • Online technical degrees with a licensed higher education institute as partner.
What this means for your operationEducational continuity, certified skills and better employability in the area of influence.
Children at a community sports schoolSports
  • Sports schools and leagues running permanently in the area of influence.
  • Active living programs linked to the Health pillar: prevention put into practice.
  • Community activations that build connection and positive presence.
What this means for your operationSustained community participation, active prevention and positive presence in the territory.

How a program starts

One entry point and three recurring programs

It starts with the Baseline. The evidence it produces determines which program should be activated and at what scale.

Entry point

Community Health Baseline

Real medical care in the community, a health profile of the territory with quantified gaps, and a program recommendation based on that evidence. This is not a survey: the community receives care from day one.

Program 1

Continuous Community Health

Recurring primary care, chronic disease control, prevention and documented follow-up between visits.

Program 2

Community Oral Health

Recurring dental prevention and treatment with a mobile dental unit and access to satellite communities.

Program 3

Community Health Hub

An integrated healthcare network for several communities, with modules activated according to what the territory needs.

Punavia Impact

Everything we deliver is measured

Every patient encounter is digitally recorded and turned into indicators for your Community Relations and Sustainability teams.

Indicator dashboard

Coverage, encounters by community and type, aggregate epidemiological profile, referrals and progress over time.

Executive report

A document ready for your sustainability reporting, community communications and engagement with authorities.

SDG and ESG alignment

Indicators mapped to SDG 3, SDG 10 and SDG 17, with traceability by encounter and means of verification.

Protected data

Clinical records remain under the custody of the partner IPRESS; your team receives aggregated information, never personal data.

Why Punavia

Integration is the differentiator

None of these capabilities is unique on its own. Combining them under a single operator, with clinical accountability and auditable evidence, is what is hard to replicate.

Licensed clinical operation

Care is delivered under the responsibility of a partner IPRESS and licensed professionals in good standing, according to the applicable contractual and healthcare scope.

Real local presence

Operating from the southern Andes, with local hiring in each community and direct coordination with authorities and healthcare facilities.

One operator, one contract

Logistics, clinical team, digital records, emergency support and reporting under a single point of contact for your team.

Applied research and evidence

We quantify gaps and, where appropriate, bring in applied research with specialists. Punavia Impact measures the change.

Smart financing

Your company does not have to fund all of it

Direct investment

Health, sports and the school program. Contracts tailored to your social performance plan: by campaign, by program or annual, with deliverables and evidence included.

Public funds and scholarships

Co-financed vocational training. Peruvian regulation channels part of the profits of certain sectors into training funds. Punavia identifies the applicable mechanisms and structures programs to make applying for them easier.

We identify applicable funds, scholarships and co-financing mechanisms, and structure programs to make applying for them easier. Access depends on each call for proposals and its terms.

From the territory, for the territory

We work with clinical staff, teachers and suppliers from the area of influence itself. In this sector, local content is not a talking point: it is verified, audited and valued.

Let's talk

Let’s build the program on data from your own community

  • What social commitments does your operation hold today, and how are they being met?
  • Which gaps concern your communities of influence the most?
  • What results do you need to show in your next sustainability report?
