Responsibility is a physical constraint.
Mining is essential — and it must operate with absolute transparency. Our commitments to land, water and workers are written into every permit we hold.
Land and Indigenous Rights
Land acquisition, displacement, resettlement, and the rights of indigenous and local communities are managed in alignment with IFC Performance Standard 5 (Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement) and Performance Standard 7 (Indigenous Peoples). Where applicable, free, prior and informed consent procedures are applied. Resettlement planning, where required, follows international standards for compensation, livelihood restoration, and grievance access.
Labour Rights and Worker Protection
Freedom of association, collective bargaining, freedom from forced and child labour, equal pay, non-discrimination, and occupational health and safety align with the International Labour Organization Core Conventions and IFC Performance Standard 2 on Labour and Working Conditions. Contractor and supply-chain due diligence extends these standards beyond direct employment.
Security, Grievance and Remedy
Security arrangements respect human rights consistent with the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. Operational-level grievance mechanisms meet the eight effectiveness criteria set out in the UN Guiding Principles: legitimate, accessible, predictable, equitable, transparent, rights-compatible, a source of continuous learning, and based on engagement and dialogue.
