Background
Because we operate in a diverse range of countries and cultures around the world, working effectively with these different communities is a task that requires time, resources and expertise.
We are becoming increasingly aware that we must build our people’s capacity within the Company so that they have the skills that will enable them to build strong relationships with the different community groups with which they interact.
Priority community relations issues are:
- upholding the human rights of our employees and contractors, our suppliers and the people in the communities in which we operate
- implementing responsible and sustainable community development, where the challenge is to assist people to achieve an enhanced quality of life without compromising their values, culture or heritage and without creating dependency on our activities
- acknowledging and respecting indigenous communities that own the land impacted by our operations or live nearby
- conducting all international business ethically, including interactions with governments, communities and business partners, as well as issues of workplace behaviour, equal employment opportunity, conflict of interest, financial inducements and bribery, insider trading and political contributions (see also HSEC governance).
The following sections discuss our Community performance and Community management initiatives over the reporting period.
