Environment
Responsible environmental management is a core component of GINMIN’s commitment to sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility and this is incorporated into all aspects of its activities from earliest exploration into development, construction, through operations and into closure and eventual return of properties to the crown. This is achieved through proper planning, design, implementation and monitoring of performance and continual improvement. GINMIN commits to achieving full compliance with all applicable environmental legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate as a starting point, from which we aspire to continually improve and meet world best practice whenever possible.
Community
GINMIN aims to build stronger and healthier local communities through education, direct support of local communities, charitable donations and support of non-profit agencies in the communities in which we operate. Through the development of natural resources the Company contributes to an enhanced standard of living for people and improved health and safety practice.
GINMIN believes that Guyanese communities are an integral part to the company’s success while working in Guyana. We work hard to build relationships based on mutual respect and shared values. We value the knowledge of the local people and seek opportunities to build strong long-term relationships with the people in the communities where we explore and where we will operate our mines and processing plant in the future.
The success of these relationships is based on respect for local tradition and trust is achieved by maintaining open lines of communication with local residents. Information on the company and our projects is shared through public meetings, open houses, and through the regulatory process. GINMIN welcomes feedback from the communities and seeks consultation on many issues. Many stakeholders are involved in this process including local authorities and government.
GINMIN believes local communities and people should participate in opportunities provided by mineral exploration and mining through jobs, training and the company’s use of local service providers. GINMIN believes that building strong relationships will result in solid support from local communities for the development of our projects now and in the future.
