Overview

GCM understands that managing the potential social and environmental impacts of a mining operation and enhancing the project's contributions to sustainable development over the long term help reduce social and environmental risks to operations and can also help build and maintain constructive relations with local stakeholders. Such an approach is critical to ensuring any mining project's long term success.

GCM is committed to:

• Developing projects that meet the highest international social and environmental performance standards
• Promoting social, environmental and economic benefits at a national, regional and local level
• Adherence to the principles of transparency
• Working in partnership with relevant stakeholders.
• Supporting the efforts of host country governments that choose to implement the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI)
