Community
Newmont strives to build trust with stakeholders through proactive, transparent and inclusive engagement as well as develop and maintain long-term relationships based on trust and integrity with host communities. As a company, we are required to be transparent about our achievements and challenges. We publish an annual sustainability report which aligns with our values of safety, integrity, sustainability, inclusion and responsibility.
Environment
Newmont’s sites, facilities and projects are subject to federal and international environmental regulations. Newmont has a staff of environmental professionals and technicians to manage these regulations appropriately and carry out the Company’s standards of environmental stewardship. We use best practices to manage stormwater, prevent pollution and protect wildlife. Careful monitoring of air, water quality and quantity, and wildlife populations and habitat are vital to protecting these resources. Our monitoring reports are routinely and regularly submitted to various regulatory agencies.
Concurrent Reclamation
Concurrent reclamation is practiced throughout the mine life to revegetate and stabilize disturbed areas as soon as possible to provide habitat for wildlife and avoid erosion. To do this, planning for closure must start at the development stages of all projects. Tailings facilities and mine openings are also being rehabilitated, and historic infrastructure is being demolished.
