Working together
Local procurement plays a big role in our overall preferential procurement policies because it’s part of our commitment to contribute to our host communities and country. It’s important to us that this policy, like all our supplier policies, is mutually beneficial – it must suit the company and the community. We hold our local supplier to the same standards as our larger suppliers, and work with them to ensure they achieve acceptable governance standards. We also ensure that we offer opportunities to local suppliers throughout our process, from exploration to rehabilitation.
