Gender equality is important. Creating a diverse, inclusive organisation and culture is not only smart business, it\u2019s better for everyone and the right thing to do.<\/p> Through 40:40 Vision we\u2019ve pledged to achieve gender balance (40% women, 40% men, 20% any gender) in our executive leadership team by 2030, and will share a public roadmap outlining how we\u2019ll get there. Find out more about 40:40 Vision here:<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Gold Road’s objective is to eliminate workplace injuries and illnesses, extending the same commitment to our contractors as we do to our employees. Our comprehensive approach to health, safety, and wellbeing complies with all relevant legislation. At the board level, we meticulously monitor the governance and performance of these crucial aspects through the Risk and ESG Board Committee, which convenes regularly throughout the year. We prioritise the welfare of our workforce and partners, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Gold Road values its relationships with all stakeholders and the communities in which we work.\u00a0 Our approach to community and aboriginal relations is respectful and participatory. We are vested in transparent, open, and effective engagement and in building long-term sustainable relationships. Our community and stakeholder engagement approach is founded on identification and consultation with all relevant stakeholders. We listen, understand, consider, and respond to stakeholder and community views, concerns, and feedback promptly. We uphold the principle of free, prior, and informed consent and observe it in our day-to-day interactions with our local communities.<\/p> Gold Road\u2019s exploration work respects cultural heritage values. We use an avoidance strategy and ensure appropriate cultural heritage surveys are conducted before any on-ground work begins. In this way, we identify cultural or heritage sites for exclusion or protection enabling us to modify our on-ground activities to avoid those areas.<\/p> We focus on enriching the lives of our communities through partnerships, employment, contracting, and local procurement opportunities wherever possible. Gold Road is committed to contributing to sustainable development and upholding and promoting fundamental human rights wherever we do business.<\/p> Our community engagement program seeks to identify and mitigate any negative impacts of our operations, but more specifically seeks to promote regional sustainable development. We make community investments that address identified social needs, build capacity, and contribute to social initiatives and organisations in ways that make strategic business sense. We do this by focussing on three strategic pillars: Education and Youth, Environment and Community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tOUR CORE VALUES<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
