Community Development and Protection
Generating shared value means creating opportunities where we can work together with the communities where we operate to generate outcomes which benefit the community and which contribute to ensuring the continuity of our operations.
Working collaboratively with local people, organizations and governments to create sustainable outcomes for the countries where we operate is both a responsibility and a core value of our business
Our company views sustainable development success as conducting business in a way that promotes economic growth, a healthy environment and vibrant communities, now and in the future.
We care deeply about developing relationships with the communities where we operate. We think about the communities during our daily work and decision-making, and view these relationships as an important part of our social license to operate.
We think about creating jobs, supporting community investments and, most importantly, understanding how a community feels about our activities near where they live. It’s important for us to have a strong community connection, and to hear about local community issues and concerns. Communities contribute diverse ideas and valuable perspectives. Listening and understanding these views helps us be better at what we do.
