Our Vision: We will partner to improve health and education outcomes and increase livelihood opportunities to support community resilience and economic diversification in our host countries across southern Africa and Canada.
Through this pillar we seek ways in which we can partner to generate real and lasting benefits for the communities around our diamond operations. Through our leading Social Way management system1, we work to understand local context, engage all stakeholders, mitigate any potential negative impact, and identify long-term development opportunities. Many of the communities – and even countries – with which we partner rely on diamond revenues as their primary source of income and economic development. We therefore focus on working in close collaboration with these communities to ensure we succeed together while creating economic opportunities beyond mining. To support communities to thrive, our focus is on health, education and livelihoods.
Our 2030 Goals for our Partnering for Thriving Communities pillar focus on three key areas – health & wellbeing, skills and education and livelihoods.
