We believe that meaningful engagement is not possible using a one-size-fits-all approach. In some locations, our operations exist in close proximity to thriving communities. In others, our operations are very remote and we are effectively the only – or one of the few – significant employers in the region.

​

Given the global scope of our business, we recognize the need to be flexible – and sensitive to local conditions and populations – in engaging our communities and investing in socially-focused initiatives. Yet, despite the local differences we may encounter, our principles remain the same: namely to engage stakeholders in a spirit of transparency and good faith, and provide lasting benefits to the communities where we work by supporting sustainable initiatives to develop their social, economic, and institutional fabric.

 

 













Support from the communities in which we operate is critical to our company success. Throughout our operations — from the earliest exploration activity through closure — we strive to engage and consult with communities and governments that host our operations and other stakeholders with respect and transparency.
