Playing our part

We believe that our role as a global business is to make a positive contribution to society.

Through the implementation of our social performance management system – the Social Way 3.0 – and through our Collaborative Regional Development programme, we are working actively to support local and regional economies, as well as the lives and livelihoods of the communities where we operate.

The three key areas of focus

When it comes to our Thriving Communities pillar of the Sustainable Mining Plan, there are three key areas of focus with associated stretch goals: health and wellbeing, education and livelihoods.

Health and well-being

Our vision is for relevant SDG targets for health to be achieved in our host communities.

Education

Our vision is for all children in host communities to have access to excellent education and training.

Livelihoods

Our vision is for shared, sustainable prosperity in our host communities.

Collaborative Regional Development

We continued our work in the areas of health, livelihoods and education across our host countries.

We partner with governments, communities, other private sector companies, academia, financial development institutions and NGOs through our CRD work. This approach provides comprehensive and scalable benefits for us – as members of the community who benefit from its prosperity – and our stakeholders.

Ambassadors for Good: Pieces of our dream initiative
