Engaging with the Local Community

Our goal is to make a positive impact and ensure that the local communities and the countries where we operate are better off - economically, socially, and culturally - as a result of our activities. Given the global scope of our business and diversity of each community, we believe that community development is not possible using a one-size-fits-all approach. At the local level, we work with each community to identify opportunities for mutually-beneficial partnerships. Working with communities, we support the development of the local social and economic infrastructure. We actively support community initiatives - especially health, education and business development - so that when we have completed our mining operations, local communities are better able to sustain their quality of life.
