    OUR APPROACH TO RESPONSIBLE MINING

    Our business is focused on breaking new ground at every stage in the mining life cycle. From the initial relationships we build with local communities and Indigenous peoples during early exploration stages to implementing socially and environmentally responsible closure practices, we incorporate sustainability from the ground up and seek to find new ways to create value for our stakeholders. From our corporate vision to our management systems, we are committed to responsible mining as the foundation of our business. 

    Our Sustainability Framework

    Eldorado’s sustainability framework embodies our pledge to incorporate sustainability from the ground up in service of our corporate vision to build a safe, sustainable and high-quality business in the mining sector, creating value today and for future generations. This means we consider sustainability in everything we do, from exploration to closure, and in our relationships with communities, Indigenous peoples, investors, and other important stakeholders.

    Our sustainability framework articulates four pillars that highlight our commitments across environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators. By delivering on these pillars, we hope to remain as a preferred partner for host communities and countries and have access to capital to help grow our business for the benefit of all stakeholders.

    Our Sustainability Integrated Management System

    Eldorado’s Sustainability Integrated Management System (SIMS) provides a set of company-wide sustainability standards that establish minimum performance requirements for the management of health, safety, environment, social performance and security.

    SIMS was developed in alignment with internationally recognized standards, including the World Gold Council’s (WGC) Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs), the Mining Association of Canada’s (MAC) Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM), the International Cyanide Management Code (ICMC) and the Copper Mark and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPSHR). SIM is regularly reviewed and updated through cross-functional collaboration to reflect evolving industry standards. Founded on our values, SIMS is a critical tool for driving sustainability performance across our business.
