Goldcorp has been repeatedly accused of damaging the environment and violating human rights in countries where it operates, particularly Guatemala.
In an in-depth documentary, news outlet AlJazeera TV analyses the main claims against the miner, which has said in its defence that is sharing its high revenues with the underprivileged local community, by providing jobs and economic development.
Goldcorp is a Canadian company with British investment. Among Goldcorp’s major investors are British-based AXA Investment Managers UK Ltd., Blackrock Commodities Income Trust plc and City Natural High Yield Trust plc.
