About

The CAP Group is a holding company that operates in the mining and steel sectors. Through its operations over the world the company’s value chain covers iron-ore mining, steel production and steel processing, employing almost 10,000 people. The mining sector in Chile has a position of high-importance, but that only means that companies operating within it face significant operational and reputational risk. Eduardo Frei has been chief legal counsel at CAP since 2006. CAP places a great deal of importance on its environmental compliance and health and safety record, and Frei has helped the company to act with responsibility and transparency for both the environment and the people their operations may affect. By using sustainable technologies and process innovation, CAP has been able to grow its operations internationally at an impressive rate despite the serious depression in global iron ore prices. Frei has also contributed more broadly through his role on the management committee. His legal and strategic advice have been crucial over his tenure with the company, especially during challenging times when CAP has had to reconsider its operations and mitigate adverse market conditions.
