4 Recognizing a shift in global perspective Sustainability and Stakeholder Engagement Policy (2013) We will work with appropriate government, community, and other stakeholders in situations where ASM or related activities are taking place in our operating areas in violation of legal, safety, health, and environment standards and property protection norms. We will do this with respect for human rights in accordance with our public commitments, and with an aim to respect livelihoods and promote improved conditions for legal and registered small-scale mining activities.
