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.

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.

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.
