IAMGOLD takes a partnership approach to community relations. We proactively communicate with a wide range of stakeholders and rightsholders and directly engage with our host communities to help them maximize the benefits of mining at the local level. We actively collaborate with governments and local non-governmental organizations to promote effective and sustainable community development. We strive to ensure that all employees and contractors respect local communities and that our activities have minimal impact on the communities.

We believe contributing to the social and economic development of our host communities is of paramount importance, as are proactive community engagement, benefits sharing and protection of the environment. We maintain special relationships and trust with our host communities through active engagement and collaboration, community development programs, and community investments.

More information on our community relations practices and performance can be found in our Sustainability Report.
