IAMGOLD Culture
At IAMGOLD we believe that by engaging, empowering and supporting each other, we can achieve extraordinary performance. We are driven to excellence in everything we do, we are accountable and operate with transparency, we conduct ourselves with respect and embrace diversity, and we grow with teamwork, learning and innovation.
Zero Harm®
Zero Harm® is our commitment to continually strive to reach the highest standards in human health and safety, minimize our impact on the environment, and work co-operatively with our host communities. This is both a goal and a journey, and to help meet our commitments, we rely on partnerships with our host countries, host communities and, most importantly, with our employees.
Here’s how Zero Harm® is helping us achieve our vision of accountable mining:
- Essakane Mine’s Solar Project in Burkina Faso (the world’s largest hybrid solar/thermal plant)
- Côté Gold Project’s plan to use remotely operated and autonomous equipment, to ensure the health & safety of all stakeholders
- Partnership with UNICEF Canada to support the ACT-A / COVAX Emergency Response, to accelerate the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in West & Central Africa
IAMGOLD has been recognized for its commitment to environment and sustainability. These initiatives have resulted in:
- Being ranked 10th out of 116 global mining companies on the Corporate Knights magazine 2021 Global 100 Sustainability scorecard;
- Being aligned with the World Gold Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles;
- Receiving the highest score (GA-1) in Moody’s assessment of Corporate Governance for the Metals and Mining Sector;
- Being included in the 2022 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the third consecutive year, which recognizes 380 global companies that foster a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
Wellness of our Employees
