Our approach to diversity and inclusion

Diversity policy

Golden Mine Projects acknowledges that the diversity and skills of our workforce are fundamental to our business's success. We are dedicated to attracting and retaining a diverse and skilled workforce to drive business growth and performance.

Simultaneously, maintaining a fair and equitable diversity policy benefits individual employees, our company, the communities we serve, regulatory bodies, and third-party partners in the regions where we operate. We highly value this diversity.

Golden Mine Projects actively promotes diversity within its boards and employee base, encompassing diversity in terms of race, gender, ethnicity, social background, color, language, age, sexual orientation, physical and mental abilities, religion, beliefs, culture, socioeconomic status, experience, and education. We believe that the multitude of perspectives arising from such diversity fosters innovation and business achievements. Managing diversity enhances our creativity, adaptability, productivity, and competitiveness.

Golden Mine Projects is committed to treating all individuals with respect and dignity. We strive to cultivate a supportive and inclusive environment where every person can realize their full potential within the company, irrespective of their differences. We understand the significance of reflecting the diversity of the communities and nations we operate in within our boards and workforce.

We monitor various diversity and inclusion metrics, including:
