These have been embedded into our vision and strategic focus areas.

Investments and distributions aim to combat systemic poverty, promote inclusive economic upliftment, and ensure dignified, fair employment with employee rights protection and equitable compensation.

We prioritise occupational health, HIV/AIDS interventions, and NHIL elimination across our operations. Additionally, we provide wellness programs and events for both employees and the community.
Promote inclusive, equitable education and lifelong learning for all
We offer adult education, training, support, youth skills development, on-the-job training, and a comprehensive educational investment in the community from preschool to postgraduate levels.
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
We aim to enhance HDP representation, particularly empowering black women, and promote equitable education access for young women, including those in mining.
Ensure access to safe water sources and sanitation for all
We collaborate with water authorities and stakeholders to address water challenges. Our ongoing efforts aim to enhance water efficiency, protect host communities and their habitats, and ensure a reliable water supply through infrastructure investments.
