We apply discipline fairly and consistently through observing rules of natural justice.
We positively engage our stakeholders
We respect the rights, customs and cultures of the local and fenceline communities and indigenous people with
whom we interact during our business.
That means we:
Collaborate with and
minimise negative effects
on local communities as
informed by due diligences
or impact assessments;
Acknowledge and respect
land rights and water rights.
Take a risk-based approach
to the use of resources with
due consideration for local
communities and indigenous
peoples;
Avoid involuntary
resettlements through our
project designs;
Mitigate security-related
human rights risks by aligning
with the Voluntary Principles
on Security and Human Rights
and International Code of
Conduct for Private Security
Providers;
Balance cultural heritage,
community expectations,
economic development and
environmental impact; and
Contribute to the
stability and prosperity
of communities through
various social initiatives.
If resettling a community is unavoidable, we comply with local laws and follow the International Finance
Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards, as well as the United Nations and other voluntary guidelines on land
tenure rights.
When we consult with indigenous peoples, we are guided by international guidelines including IFC Performance
Standard 7 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. We obtain free, prior and informed
consent where possible.
