ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE
RESPONSIBLE MINING
Environmental responsibility is a central issue in a company with operations involving environmental risks.
The majority of the Company’s activities are carried out in areas which are sensitive to the impact of mining operations.
Vanguard understands that there are people living close to our operations and, therefore, seeks to minimize the negative impact of our operations on the environment by focusing on adopting innovative technologies, continuously optimizing resource utilization and decreasing waste.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We are actively engaged in the local communities in the areas in which we operate by, among other things, by supporting and contributing to education and infrastructure and by prioritizing the local population when employing staff.
INTEGRITY AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Vanguard’s success is dependent on trust and support from all stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, suppliers, contractors, Government, and local communities, which is why we are committed to the highest standards of integrity and sustainability.
We have zero tolerance for corruption and aim to have the maximum level of transparency in our dealing with Government authorities, defending our interests in court when necessary.
We genuinely believe that good corporate governance adds shareholder value and we intend to further strengthen our corporate governance in order to deliver maximum shareholder value.
