SUSTAINABILITY POLICY                                            HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY



IAMGOLD's success has been founded on effective partnerships. Initially, it was a partnership between the founding shareholders of the Company in 1990 and then with the host countries in West Africa where IAMGOLD first began exploration. Key partnerships with operating partners and the people working and residing near our mining properties in Mali and Ghana were also critical to the success of our Company.
Together with our partners, IAMGOLD has brought standards of operating safety, environmental responsibility and social sensitivity to areas without a prior history of modern mining or exploration.

More recently, in South America, and in Ecuador in particular, IAMGOLD continues to demonstrate a strong focus on environmental responsibility and social sensitivity, by developing innovative programs and forging new partnerships with stakeholders in the local and regional communities, while still in the exploration stage of our key projects.

In the case of Ecuador, as was the case in Mali, IAMGOLD is committed to being a leader in developing not just a successful mine but in establishing a larger mining industry that will benefit all stakeholders for years to come. Our Company is working together with host governments and surrounding communities so that our operations can serve as models for future mining development within the country.
