People & Communities

As a responsible corporate citizen, we focus on bringing social and economic benefits to the countries and communities where we work

This we do by training, employing and providing benefits to people, paying taxes and royalties to local governments, offering procurement and contracting opportunities to local enterprises, investing in infrastructure and supporting socio-economic initiatives such as health, sport, education and charity projects.

Today we are the largest employer in the regions where we operate, offering jobs to over 1,000 employees globally

Our people are fundamental to our success. We invest significantly in workforce development and provide opportunities for growth to our employees. We offer professional training by international specialists, social benefits and guarantees including residence, health insurance and various team building activities.

We are committed to employing and contracting locally wherever possible in order to support regional development and provide further economic uplift to our host countries.

We are proud of our comprehensive health and workplace safety culture in place that includes a full training program by specialists for our employees to perform their jobs safely, regular security and emergency exercises and drills and an on-site medical station that ensures the physical and mental well-being of our workers.

We foster an environment where we support diversity, equality, different backgrounds, cultures and beliefs. We protect and uphold fundamental human rights, treat all employees with fairness, dignity and respect and prohibit discrimination on any basis.

Dialogue and partnership with local governments and communities are central to our efforts to make a positive impact on our host countries

We work together with local authorities, community representatives and other partners to identify local development priorities and implement targeted investment programs and charity initiatives in areas such as health, infrastructure, sports, and education.

In recent years, as part of our social responsibility initiatives, we have undertaken various projects, including rebuilding and refurbishing local schools, supporting teachers and students, constructing medicine storage facilities in remote villages, and contributing to HIV/AIDS and malaria control programs. Furthermore, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have donated medical masks and other protective equipment to affected areas in Africa and Southeast Asia, demonstrating our commitment to supporting communities in times of crisis.
