Corporate Responsibility

Future Challenges

There are a number of future challenges we need to address in the area of corporate responsibility, especially given the rapid shift in our asset base and growth in our employee population in coming years. Some key challenges include:

  • Finding additional ways to engage our people and seeking new ways to progress toward our goal of zero accidents and zero out-of-compliance environmental events
  • Ensuring that the culture of continuous improvement becomes deeply embedded across our global organization
  • Translating our commitment to corporate responsibility into concrete initiatives, operating metrics and policies
  • Improving our management of environmental issues across the board, including energy efficiency
  • Ensuring stakeholder engagement remains a fundamental and consistent part of how we operate
  • Responding effectively to the changing regulatory framework that is imposing new responsibilities on mining companies worldwide
  • Building and maintaining a viable workforce that is well-trained, well-compensated and well-motivated
  • Ensuring that outstanding corporate citizenship is a Virgin Gold’s trademark at our new developments as we bring them into production

Meeting these challenges will require the dedication and hard work of every Virgin Gold employee and we are confident we will deliver on our commitments and fulfill our responsibility, as we have always done.
