Community
Our corporate social responsibility projects within our host communities focus on education, portable skills training, health, water and sanitation, waste management, poverty eradication, and enterprise and supplier development.
We also prioritize support for overlooked groups, ensuring that marginalized communities have access to resources and opportunities.
Stakeholder Engagement
Each operation has formal engagement structures with key stakeholders to discuss the needs and challenges of our communities. We actively participate in our host municipalities’ local economic development and IDP forums to understand municipal challenges and priority areas, with a particular focus on addressing the concerns.
Additionally, we host annual events such as career exhibitions to expose local learners to mining-related careers, as well as stakeholder and supplier days for local SMMEs to interact with our operations’ leadership, end users, and OEMs.
Social & Labour Plans
Our community investment programmes are detailed in our operations’ five-year social and labour plans (SLPs), which align with the requirements of Mining Charter III, municipal Integrated Development Plans (IDPs), priority community needs, the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, and associated regulations.
Our SLPs have been developed in consultation with our host municipalities, communities, and unions, ensuring they address the needs of overlooked groups and are managed by each operation to guarantee greater accountability for local economic development.
