ESG

Terry Heymann, our CFO, participated in a Mining Coffee Chat with Remi Piet, Senior Director Infrastructure, Energy & Natural Resources at Americas Market Intelligence. Watch their conversation on the Responsible Gold Mining Principles and more.

Earlier this year we caught up with stakeholders to hear their thoughts about the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs), and how they expect them to strengthen the gold industry’s ESG credentials.

The World Gold Council published the Responsible Gold Mining Principles in September 2019. It represented the product of two years of intensive engagement with gold mining companies and industry stakeholders to set out an over-arching framework that helps to define what constitutes “responsible” gold mining.

In-depth: Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are currently all-consuming, attention must not be diverted from ESG performance and commitments to tackle the climate crisis. Any further delays in implementing change will be damaging and costly, suggests John Mulligan.

Leading gold mining companies are committed to addressing historical injustices and ensure that there are opportunities for women at all levels within their organisations.

The global spread of COVID-19 has affected all of us in one way or another and many businesses and industries are having to adapt, including the gold mining industry.
