We express at every opportunity that sustainable mining is possible, and we work for a livable world with all our stakeholders within the framework of our sustainability approach. With our responsible mining principle, we carry out our activities in a manner that is respectful to the society and the environment; we apply the highest environmental management standards in conservation of natural resources, energy efficiency, climate change, biodiversity and waste management. We make effort to raise the awareness of future generations by organizing events to instill the importance of sustainability in children.
We are committed to contribute with our operations, both directly and indirectly, to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals in the communities and countries in which we operate.
To achieve our zero harm culture, we are committed to integrating our safety leadership values into our systems and initiatives such as Global Health and Safety Policy, Work Safe|Home Safe Program, Joint Health and Safety Committee (JHSC), Health and Safety management and monitoring software, and employee health and wellbeing programs.
We work for a respectful and inclusive workplace culture where all our employees feel valued and free. We are committed to greater representation of women at all levels across the company, fostering harmony and collaboration, creating a global voice for women in the mining industry.
We believe we have a responsibility to effectively manage water resources that are critical to the health and wellbeing of local communities. We work to improve our water stewardship performance by using best practices in compliance with legislation and in cooperation with our stakeholders.
We believe that strong employee engagement, which encourages a sense of ‘ownership’, innovation and creative decision-making, plays a critical role in identifying new solutions with added value. We contribute to economic development by supporting local hiring and procurement opportunities and work in collaboration with local investors, entrepreneurs and organisations.
We are aware of the importance of protecting the environment against wastes and hazardous substances. In this context, we follow the relevant legislations and inform our employees through various trainings.
Protecting the biodiversity on our project site and its surroundings and reclaiming and rehabilitating the mine site are among our priorities.
