Partnerships between governments, the private sector, and civil society are essential for achieving the SDGs. With operations around the world, some in the most remote areas of the world, we have experience partnering with national, regional, and local governments, communities, civil society, corporations, and other organizations to advance socio-economic development opportunities.

In addition to the jobs Newmont provides to community members, we contribute to this goal by sourcing from local suppliers and engaging host communities on livelihood improvement programs that empower people by strengthening their productive capacity and developing their skills. These programs also help minimize dependency on the mine and support long-term diversified economic growth.

Newmont contributes to this goal through efforts at each site to conserve and recycle water, reduce our freshwater use, monitor water quality, provide potable water and sanitation infrastructure for our workers, and maintain and improve fresh water biodiversity.

Water management - The Merian Mine uses a lot of water to produce gold. That is why the mine has different water management facilities to treat polluted water before it is discharged into the environment. Facilities such as Tailings Facility. Effluent Treatment Plant, Sedimentation Ponds, Sewage Treatment Plant, and Potable Water Treatment Plant.

Water Monitoring - Our Environmental Department at Merian is responsible for collecting water samples from the various water management facilities at different sampling frequencies, ranging from daily to annually.

𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝟱 – 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
While mining is a male-dominated industry, we recognize that an inclusive culture is critical for realizing the benefits of a diverse workforce. Our global inclusion and diversity strategy aims to create an inclusive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, develop, and work together to deliver our strategy. This strategy focuses on three areas: integrating practices that encourage inclusive behaviors, increasing the representation of women and other diverse people throughout the workforce, and establishing community partnerships that support the development of a diverse talent pipeline.

𝗦𝗗𝗚 𝟯 – 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴
Our contribution towards this goal begins with understanding the health risks present in both the workplace and the communities where we operate. These health risk assessments inform how best to reduce exposures to factors that impact the health of our people. Ongoing and new partnerships with communities, governments, and other stakeholders are vital for improving healthcare in the communities where we operate and effectively managing endemic diseases and outbreaks.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an ambitious call to action for governments, businesses, and civil society organizations to address the world’s greatest challenges and create a more sustainable world by 2030.

We recognize our impact on and the opportunity to positively contribute to all 17 SDGs. However, following a mapping exercise and analysis in 2016, we prioritized five SDGs that we believe we can make the greatest impact on advancing the goals.

How do safety glasses protect your eyes?
Mining is a hazardous occupation that can expose workers to a variety of risks, and to protect ourselves from these potential risks, we wear our safety glasses.

Why are hard hats important in the mining business? Here are some tips on how Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can protect you.

Safety is one of Newmont's core values, and assuring the safety of our workforce is a top priority.

One of the safety requirements is the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). These are essential pieces in the mining world and are used to protect yourself from severe injuries.

Earlier this month, Newmont Suriname in collaboration with Crown Agents, donated medical supplies and equipment worth about USD 425,000 to the Medische Zending Primary Health Care Suriname. This initiative is part of the "Resilience and Recovery program" aiming to enhance Suriname's healthcare system's ability to respond to health crises and chronic diseases.

The donation includes items like diagnostic tests, solar-powered vaccine refrigerators, ultrasound devices, and medical furniture. Thirteen Medical Mission clinics in East Suriname and Para will benefit from this assistance, improving healthcare access, especially for vulnerable groups.

This effort is supported by Newmont Suriname's commitment to community health and well-being. The program launched in October 2022, it is a public-private partnership between Newmont Suriname, LLC and the Ministry of Health, and is being executed by Crown Agents, and has a total value of $1.2 million.

In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition in the mining industry and adjacent industries that companies must now strive not only to tackle impacts on biodiversity on site, but also to contribute to conservation goals beyond their operational footprints.

A new report released by IUCN compiles 28 case studies about leading companies, including Newmont, discussing organizations’ actions in their non-operational areas. It showcases their policies, commitments and capacity to contribute to achieving global biodiversity targets.
