Our sustainability vision is to create long-term value for all our stakeholders. We live our vision by embedding environmental, social and economic considerations into all our business decisions.

How we create value and deliver social and economic development for our host countries and communities is based on four key pillars: paying our fair share of taxes; prioritizing local hiring; prioritizing local buying; and investing in community-led development initiatives.

We believe that no one knows the needs of local communities better than the communities themselves. That is why at each of our mine sites we aim to establish Community Development Committees (CDCs) with the local community.

Our communities rightly expect the opportunity to contribute and participate in decisions that may affect them. We therefore work to establish transparent and participatory engagement mechanisms which help deliver timely information regarding mining operations, and provide access to company representatives who listen to, and act on, community concerns.
