Endeavour CEO Bradford Cooke commented: "Ever since Endeavour purchased its first mine in 2004, we have tried to do things the right way. Our corporate social integrity has not only been a key to the success of our business, it has created real value for all our stakeholders. Refining what we do and how we do it is both our goal and our process to improve our sustainability."

"The mining industry is somewhat unique in that mines are typically located in rural or remote areas. Of all industries, ours has the most direct impact at the community level. We all do tremendous work to enhance the quality of life in our local communities, and sustainability reporting is our opportunity to speak about what we do and how we do it."

"The theme of our 2017 Annual Review and Sustainability Report 'We are all Connected' is intended to show that sustainability relies on the connectedness between people, communities and the environment. We connect the global and growing need for silver and our vision to build a premier silver mining company with our highly skilled and motivated management and employees to create long-term social and economic benefits for all of our stakeholders."
