Health and safety has always been a priority for IAMGOLD. In these uncertain, unprecedented times, we believe it’s more important than ever to be good neighbours and take care of each other.
Where possible, IAMGOLD has focused on finding local solutions to this global issue. We are working closely with our host communities and local governments to identify needs and support relief efforts, by bolstering food security, donating medical equipment and by contributing to aid funds. Below are select highlights of IAMGOLD’s COVID-19 global initiatives to date. (All figures in US dollars, unless stated.)
To help our host communities, IAMGOLD has allocated $1.5 million to fund diverse global initiatives to protect and support the most vulnerable against the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including cleaning equipment and supplies, PPE and life support equipment.
IAMGOLD further contributed $250,000 to UNICEF to support the International ACT-A / COVAX Emergency Response vaccination program.
We are committed to being a good corporate citizen and working in partnership with our host communities.
