The Effects of Increasing Female Leadership at Teck Resources Limited

Teck Resources is Canada’s largest diversified mining company with operations in North and South America and exploration projects worldwide. Teck’s overall leadership is currently comprised of 19.2% women; broken down into management (21.8%), senior management (10%) and executive roles (4.5%). Females make up 14.3% of Teck’s Board of Directors. This project evaluates the challenges and opportunities Teck will face in order to increase female leadership. The assessment identified that with a careful, strategic approach to augmenting the pipeline and imparting systems to develop women into leaders, Teck’s female leadership will organically grow. Further, portions of the strategy should be created by the sites as each jurisdiction may have unique challenges. Aligning the vision and communication channels across Teck is essential for successful results.
