People and Sustainable Organizational Culture

Being part of the SQM Group, we bring together deep technical expertise, knowledge and a shared commitment to empower the world to embrace clean energies.

Our people lead with curiosity, act with humility and work with integrity. They bring deep technical expertise, commercial acumen and local knowledge to every project – delivering lithium solutions that support energy security and create value for our partners, customers and communities.

We value the diversity of skills, ideas, and experiences across our teams, reflecting the international reach of our operations. From project development and processing innovation to sustainable operations and stakeholder engagement, we celebrate the diverse skills, ideas and experiences our people make —and of the role they play in shaping a more sustainable world.

Above all, we believe that leadership is about partnership – collaborating with each other and with those around us to unlock opportunities, challenge what is possible and build a better future for the world we share.

Diversity and inclusion

We believe diversity makes us stronger — as a team, as a business, and as individuals. Our differences in background, experience, and perspective fuel innovation, drive better decisions, and help us grow together.

We are proud to be part of a multicultural team drawn from across the world. Our strength lies in working together — fostering new ideas, learning from each other and uniting behind a common purpose.

We don’t see inclusion as a program or policy. It’s how we work every day — creating a safe, supportive workplace where every voice is heard, every contribution matters and opportunities are open to all.

By living our values and embracing diverse perspectives, we build stronger partnerships, deliver better outcomes, and make a lasting impact on the world around us.
