Sodexo consolidates its leadership in the mining and energy sector in Peru with the resumption of its operations at Antamina, one of the largest mining complexes in the world.
This new contract significantly strengthens Sodexo’s presence in Peru and highlights its ability to deliver world class operational excellence in highly complex environments.
Sodexo will provide food and hospitality services, as well as manage recreational facilities at the Yanacancha and Puerto Punta Lobitos camps. Sodexo will serve approximately 6,500 users daily, requiring the recruitment of around 1,100 employees, with priority focus on hiring, training, and developing local talent and contributing to local economic development.
This renewed collaboration with Antamina, the partner with whom we initiated our operations in Peru in 1998, reflects a long-standing relationship built on trust. Our logistical capabilities and extensive experience in managing services in remote, highly-demanding environments with extreme geographic and adverse climatic conditions have been key to once again taking on an operation of this magnitude and to projecting service models that can be replicated for other clients, both within and outside the country.
This new contract follows Nexa Resources’ recent win for the Cerro Lindo Mining Unit, Peru’s largest underground mine and one of its most important polymetallic sites. These successes support the company’s growth outlook and consolidates its position as a partner of choice for large-scale mining operations in the region.
Sodexo will provide food services, hospitality services, and recreational facility management at Antamina’s Yanacancha and Puerto Punta Lobitos camps. These services support daily life and workplace operations for users at remote mining sites.
Sodexo will serve approximately 6,500 users every day. This service volume shows the scale of the operation and the need for reliable delivery in a complex mining environment.
The Antamina contract is expected to require the recruitment of around 1,100 employees. To do so, Sodexo will prioritize hiring, training, and developing local talent as part of the operation.
By investing in the local workforce, the contract supports economic growth, strengthens community development, and generates lasting social value. This commitment to local employment reflects Sodexo’s ambition to contribute positively to Peru’s economy while fostering inclusive and sustainable development in the areas where it operates.
Sodexo contributes to employee quality of life in mining and remote environments by managing essential services that support daily living, safety, comfort, and wellbeing.
These services are designed for workers who live away from home. It includes practical support such as meals, room cleaning, resident check-ins, health and wellbeing programs, retail, transport between living and work sites, and maintained facilities that help employees feel safe, rested, and supported in remote conditions.
