VISION

Zero Harm – What Drives Us

Zero Harm is the vision that guides us. It is our commitment that we continue to strive for the highest standards in human health, minimize our impact on the environment, and work co-operatively with our host communities. Zero Harm is both a goal and a journey, and to achieve these commitments, we rely on partnerships – with our host countries, with our host communities, with civil society partners and, most important, with our employees.

Together with our partners, IAMGOLD often brings standards of operating safety, environmental responsibility and social sensitivity to areas without a prior history of modern mining or exploration. We believe that partnering with our employees, communities and host countries to build a healthier, safer, more sustainable future is not only the right thing to do, but good business practice.

IAMGOLD is committed to exercising social responsibility wherever we operate by embracing:

  • RESPECT: Our activities will be conducted in a way that respects cultures, customs, social values, laws and human rights.
  • ENGAGEMENT: We will pursue the support of host communities and governments through responsive, meaningful dialogue.
  • ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP: We will focus on understanding the interaction between our activities and the environment, and seek ways to protect and maximize sustainable development.
  • HEALTH AND SAFETY: We will promote a work environment where the health and safety of people are always our first priorities.
